Holi Festival 2019

2019-03-14T17:51:00.001+05:30

શ્રી રણછોડરાય ડાકોર મંદિરમાં ધુળેટી ડોલોત્સવ માં તમામ ભક્તોનું ભાવભર્યું સ્વાગત છે.

महा सूद पंचमी से पुष्टी मार्ग सेवा परंपरा में प्रभु होली दिन तक यानी फूलडोल (धुलेटी) तक प्रभु विविध रंगों से होली खेलते हे । वसंत पंचमी से फूलडोल तक ज्यादातर प्रभु को स्वेत वस्त्रो धराये जाते हे जिनसे प्रभु के खेल दर्शन में चार चाँद लग जाता है

श्री मस्तक पर कूल्हे जोड़ चन्द्रिका एवं आयुधों सहित भारी सोने के श्रृंगार धराये जाते हे । विशेष रूप से हमीर नामक श्रृंगार धराया जाता है जिसकी भावना ये हे की जब होली खेल को प्रभु पधारे तब भाग दौड़ के कारण कही अन्य श्रृंगार वडा ना होवे और कपूरमाला धराई जाती है।

श्रृंगार दर्शन में प्रभु सन्मुख अधिवासन होता है बाद में प्रभु को अबीर , गुलाल , चोवा , चन्दन एवं अन्य रंगों से खेल होता है ।प्रभु को श्री हस्त में चांदी की पिचकारी धराई जाती है। जिनसे प्रभु केसूडा के रंग से खेल होता है। खेल के बाद खेल भोग आता है जि समे धानी , चना , घी एवं एलची युक्त खजूर धराया जाता है।बाद में प्रभु की श्रृंगार आरति सम्पन होती है । खेल के दिन में प्रभु के श्री चरण ढंके जाते हे जिसकी भावना यह है कि हमारी दृष्टि यदि श्री चरण पर पड़े तो दास्य भाव आता है.

In Holi, the Holy Holocaust day that means the Holy Volume (Dhulati) in the confirmed route service tradition from Maha Sood Panchami, Holi plays Holi with various colors. From Lord Vasant Panchami to Phuldol, most of the Lord is dressed in swiss, which has four moons in the Lord's game philosophy.

Heavy gold makeup including the hip joint moon and arms are placed on Mr. Mast. In particular, the makeup named Hamir is held, which means that when the Holy game is played by the lord, then there should be no other makeup wada due to the running and Kapuramala is hoisted.

In the beauty scene, the lord is dominated by the Lord, and later the lord plays with Abir, Gulal, Chova, Chandan and other colors. Which is played by the colors of Lord Kesuda. After the game comes the enjoyment of the game, the date is included with the same Dhani, gram, ghee and elchee. Later, the Lord's makeup is arti. On the day of the game, the Lord's feet were covered with a feeling that if our vision falls on Sri Phase, there is a sense of humor.

History of Nal Sarovar

2018-04-03T17:42:00.000+05:30

Welcome to the bird paradise of Gujarat.

Nal sarovar is the most highly visited sanctuary in Gujarat. Each visitor to Nal sarovar is special be it the winged one travelling hundreds of kilometers or a human visitor like you. This vast natural wetland is not only rich and magical, it is also significant internationally.

We have a learnt a lot about its ecosystem and birds though studies but above and below its water lie many more secrets, here in this interpretation, we have unraveled some of these interesting aspects of nal sarovar. A walk thought it would certainly enrich your knowledge and enliven your experience here.

A Globally Significant wetland:-

Owing to its large size and remarkable richness as well as abundance of aquatic birds, nal sarovar has been proposed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.

One of the largest natural wetlands of india measuring 120 sq km and located just 62 km from Ahmedabad city. Nal Sarovar Boasts of over 225 bird species and a rich aquatic flora with nearly 50 species of algae and over 70 types of flowering plants.

This unparalleled diversity has earned it the distinction of being a wetland of national importance and an important bird area. During winter, large congregations of migratory birds such as Flamingos, pelicans, ducks and shore birds fill Nal sarovar with their vibrant colours and calls.

Its water come alive with thousands of coots, cormorants and cranes, the reed beds and marshy areas pulsate with varied aquatic life.

This wetland is also home to several globally threatened species of birds and mammals such as sarus crane, Indian skimmer, Asiatic wild ass and wolf.

The Bird Paradise of Gujarat Lake or sea?-

Can a sea ever turn into a freshwater lake? Why not? Nal Sarovar – the Most well known Gujarat’s Sanctuaries was once part of an old sea that got obliterated in the not-too-distant past.

Won’t it surprise you if someone told you that about 75,000 years ago, the gulfs of kutch and Khambhat were connected by a wide channel and Saurastra and kutch were large islands.

Scientific evidence suggests Nal Sarovar was a part of this sea channel that connected the two gulfs. The sea channel gradually got filled with sediments brought in by the rivers flowing from east. changes in the earth’s crust and ice age related phenomena. About 7,000 years ago Nal Sarovar assumed its present dat features and became a closed basin. Lothal an erstwhile port-town of the Harappan civilization and typical mudflats, both located south of this wetland testify this.

Mandvi Beach

2018-03-27T16:15:00.002+05:30

Seeing Vijay Vilas Palace I went out to see Mandvi Beach. It is a town with a municipality of Kutch district of Gujarat state. After half an hour, I reached there and I saw the beach in the sunny days.

It was once a summer retreat for the main port of the region and the Maharaja (king) of Kutch state. The old city was closed in the walls of the fort and the ruins of the fort wall can still be seen.

There is a four-hundred-year-old ship building industry in the city, which was started by the Kharwa tribe, which still creates small wooden ships.

Mandvi city was founded in 1580 by the farmer Khengarji king of Kutch . Since Sunday there was a heavy crowd of peoples in beach. The beach of Mandvi is beautiful and vivid, where you can ride horses, camel rides and cruises.

I got fresh before being there and drink a nice shiny tea. Then I chose to walk on the beach where I was enjoying a wonderful pleasure. I eat corn and enjoy the ATV Riding. Far away I was seeing only a beautiful sight. People sitting around me enjoyed the evening atmosphere.

If you visit Kutch and do not see Mandvi Beach then you have not seen it. It is 45 km from Bhuj city. To get there you will get bus and vehicle easily. There is so much fun for small children.

Vijay Vilas Palace Mandvi

2018-03-26T16:48:00.002+05:30

After visiting the white desert we went out to see the Vijay Vilas Palace. Vijay Vilas palace is in Mandvi city near Bhuj. It is a very famous palace of Kutch. This is located on the marine beach of Mandvi. The palace was built in 1929 with the Red Stadium. It is a historic place of Kutch.

Maharaja of Kutch, Shri Khengarji III, is named as Yuvraj Shri Vijayrayji as a summer resort for his son and heir, and hence his name has been named as Vijay Vilas Palace. Construction began in 1900 palaces in the year [3] and was completed in 1929. It was made of red sandstone in the Rajputana style, with the main center dome, the sides of the Bengal Dome, the coarse and colored glass windows.

The palace is made of red sandstone. It has all the components of Rajput architecture and most often draws on the plans of the palaces of Orchha and Datia. The central high dome on the pillar, the Bengal dome on the sides, the windows with colored glasses, and the stone carved 'Jalis', the dome fortresses on the corners, the elaborate porch and other beautiful stone-carved elements embellish the palace.

The palace is arranged in the central part of the well-rounded gardens with water channels and marble fountains. Architect and artisan from places such as Jailis, Gharoka, Umbrella, Chhaj, Fresco and many other artistic stone engraving carved stone, windows and door glass works, Local Kutchi artist community and Jaipur, Rajasthan, Bengal and Saurashtra.

Small complex windows give an emotion to go out in the open, through which the cold sea wind passes. The campus also includes the umbrella of Vijayrayji, which died in 1948, which was very dear to the palace.

This palace is used as a set in many Hindi films and it has now become a popular tourist destination. The shooting of the popular movie “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” and “Lagaan” was done in this palace.

The top balcony offers a magnificent view of the surrounding area, and the tomb of the king can also be seen. This palace is 7 km from the city center. It is open timing from 9 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 6 pm. Entry fees is 20 rs and vehicle parking charges is 10 rs. you can pay fees of 50 rs for Photography and videography.

From there I saw a wonderful talent of the King of Kutch from this palace, and I went out to see Mandvi Beach.

The Great Rann of Kutch

2018-03-23T17:32:00.000+05:30

After visiting the Black Mountain, we got into a white desert tour. The great desert of Kutch is approximately 7,505.22 square kilometers (2,897.78 square miles) and is believed to be one of the world's largest salt desert regions.

This area is inhabited by Kutchhi people. The name "desert" comes from a Hindi word (desert), White desert lies just a short distance from Tent City. This is on the border of Kutch and Pakistan. We took 15 minutes to go there.

Our Luxury bus standing on the road, we were able to sit on the camel's lorry and go inside. It was a great pleasure to sit on it. Just around us was a white desert. We went inside and got very fun and pleasing.

On the day of Full Moon I saw the night vision, which was wonderful and incredible. The local people danced through dance songs and music. At the time of the ligament sunrise was a good sight.

There we stayed for two hour; we woke up and enjoyed the white desert closely. There were more than 1,000 tourists at that time in the white desert area. I was accompanied by Rajanbhai, my special friend of Kutch, whom I very much liked with.

The white desert is away from Tent City, so take a bottle of water and snacks when you visit it. Always take an visit in the evening or early morning. Take a good camera with you so that you can take a good photo.

Truly Amitabh Bachchan has said “Kutch Nahi Dekha to Kuch Nhi Dekha”

We came out of Tent City to take the car and go to Black Hill. Perhaps this is the only place in Kutch where a large view of the great Rann of Kutch. it is near the border of Pakistan, there is an army post on top of Dungar and only military personnel are allowed.

Going there, we experienced magnetic power. When we were passing through the road of Black Mountain, we experienced it at one place. You can see it in the video below. There are only 2 places in India where Magnetic Power is experienced. First is Leh-Ladakh and Second is Kalo Dungar.

The history of the Black Mountain is also well-known. Kalo Dungar is famous for the 450-year-old Dattatreya Mandir. The Kutchhi Peoples says that when Dattatreya walked on the earth, he stopped at the Kala Hills and got a part of the fox starving.

Because of God, he gave his body to eat and ate, his body constantly revived himself. Because of this, for the last four centuries, the priest has prepared a piece of Prasad in the temple, cooked rice and after the Aarti it is fed to the fox.

Black Mountain is a place from where you can see the beautiful view of the desert of Kutch. There you can enjoy the fun of a camel ride. Moving away clouds also seem like what you say. We spent one hour there and went to see the white desert of Kutch.

If you are visiting Black Mountain, you are not missing to experience the magnetic power there.

Rann Utsav Tent City

2018-03-20T13:45:00.000+05:30

I came to Bhuj after Darshan of Mata Ashapura and I spent the night at the Hill View Resort. The next early morning I got off to the Rann Utsav festival Tent City.

The distance from Bhuj to Tent City is about 85 km. I traveled for an one and half hour or so I arrived at Tent City. We were welcomed according to the tradition of Kutch. The gate of the beautiful Tent City and its engraving attracted everyone's attention.

We entered the reception area of Tent City, which looks very impressive. There we met the location and number of our tents. We took them from there to the tents area. After going to the tent we rested a bit and then we got out seeing Tent City. Our Tent City had a meal arrangement nearby.

From there, we found new paintings such as chhakada, bicycle, car and clock tower. Tent City can be anywhere you go, you just have to sit back and walk if you want to take a cycling and also get the facility there.

On day you can enjoy shooting and game. There is a large set of cutlery where you can even take a photo. There are shops in front of the reception area where you can buy all the items of Kutch. A hospital has been set up beside it, where you can get all the treatment in an emergency. Library is located next to the game zone where you will find all kinds of books.

Rann Utsav Tent City has various types of cultural programs at night, in which music, dance and live shows are organized. At night we wore music with a lot of fun. The night's sight was very different. Next to Trent City, we used to do the heat and sit down and talk to us at three o'clock in the night.

The Rann Utsav Tent City is truly beautiful and unique, where all the needs of the human being are fully monitored.

Shree Ashapura Mata Darshan of Mata na Madh Temple in Lakhpat Taluka of Kutch District, Gujarat. There I met the trustee of the temple and learned about Mata na Madh history which is as follows.

Besides the main temple of Goddess Ashapura in the maa mud, there are Hinglaj Mata, Chachara Bhavani, Khatla Bhavani and Bhagora Prarthani temple. In which the temple of Bhagora Bhavani is located near the hill, in the cave of the hill. Besides, temples of Lord Shiva and other goddesses are also located.

This shrine is known as the main Saint "Mahant". Those who are called King Bawa and they are unmarried. Those who have an elder in the Padma, they have their followers. Here Chauhan performs all religious activities of the mother as well as the cleaning and maintenance of the temple.

These Chauhan were called “Bhuvao”,Instead of performing duties, the devotees in the temple are entitled to the cash accumulated on the aged And the Mata gives her permission.

Every year, Navaratri is celebrated as Chaitr and Asho at this place of Ashapura Mataji. In this, Asho Navaratri has unique significance, during which the king of Mahant fast. The seventh Navaratri is made of the hive of the Mataji. On the second day, is the eighth day of Navratri, the main worship is done by the Maharaja or the Chauhan family of Kutch.

It is said that before the time of King Krishna's birth, he believed in running the mud of Bhuj and at the time of Navaratri. They went there and worshiped the mother goddess. Together, the two long and large spores of the chamber, which were made of perennial feathers, came to be taken. After reaching the place of mother, she bathed in a pool and entered the temple.

Prior to going to the temple, the procession was going out, in which the leather was in the hands and it was an open walk. The leather in the hand was put there. Then put it behind the Goddess and put two hands up and standing. It has been done for the past 450 years. Thereafter, the Aarti of the Mataji is done. After the Aarti, Mataji Prasad is distributed.

During the whole year, only the highest number of pilgrims comes to visit the Navaratri. According to our belief, there were 2 lakh pilgrims in the year 1994, which has become very popular today.

History of Ashapura Mataji

2018-03-14T19:11:00.000+05:30

I Darshan of Koteshwar Mahadev than I travelling to worship the mata ashapura Darshan of Mata na Madh Temple in Lakhpat Taluka of Kutch District. There I met the trustee of the temple and learned about Ashapura maa history which is as follows.

This place of Ashapura in the country goddess is associated with its origin as its original place since ancient times. This goddess is mentioned in Purana and Rudramal Tantra etc. There is a clear mention of this place in Kutch.

There is no information even if the fact is that the place where worship began at this place. The old section also does not have the correct information of this. According to one fact, in the ninth century when people belonging to the royal family of Rajput descent were said to be more precise in the western Kutch, this Ashapura was the mother's presence when the first lady entered Agni khuna.

More families of this dynasty started to live there and in 16th century their rule began in Kutch. Before this, Khngarji First, son of Raja Hamiraj, who was killed at the hands of Raja Jam Raval, was the Consign ant, Both Raja Ashapura maa was a unique devotee.

There are many myths about this goddess, in which the most popular famous thing is this type. In which around 1500 years ago, a merchant from Marwad was traveling to this place for his business, and at present the temple of Goddess is present there, where he invested nine days of Navratri, he was the devotee of Amba.

He did not have any offspring, so he always prayed in order to attain the son and son. At night, when he was in sleep, he saw a goddess in his dream. A Goddess has ordered to build a temple in the place where he has invested in the night, and also said that it is true that you will get a lot of energy and a Chudadi when awakened.

The Goddess specifically instructed that after the completion of the temple construction, its doors should not be opened for 6 months, because during that time I will establish myself in the temple. Vaniya Devchand started listening to the sound of music in the night, from the inner part of the temple, before the 6 month period ends.

Therefore, he cannot control himself and when he opened the door of the temple, he was seen standing on his knees in the preparation of the Goddess standing, which is still present in the same place in the Hindu temple of the Deity Mata of the statue of Goddess.

Devchand Vaniya's son's desire to attain the child was completed so that he built this temple. Since this area was an earthquake, due to the lightning earthquake felt here, this temple was broken at the time of the earthquake, which is newly built.
