BABA KI NAGARI DURING MAHASHIVRATRI


Baba ki nagari also known as Deoghar or Baidyanath dham is the must visiting place if you are diehard fan of Mahakal(lord Shiva) like me . That evening of Mahashivratri when i reached Deoghar was so eye catching and heart-warming that I stand stood for a moment and wanted to click the whole scenario in my eyes.
Out of the 12 jyotirlinga in India ,Baidyanath dham is one ,which is named as "Kamna linga". According to strong belief this Baidyanath Jyotirlinga is going to give what you desire.

Shivratri is something for which the entire Deoghar waits eagerly. The crowd of people were pretty enough to tell the popularity of ocassion and the excitement in them. I am very sure that if at that time I have screamed "how is the josh?"  the whole Deoghar would have said "BOL BOM"  in a very energetic way.
 There are many stories behind celebrating Mahashivratri. Some people says it was the night when lord Shiva and mother Parvati got married and the red thread tied between main shrine of lord shiva and lord parvati's temple shows the unity between them. some says during the churning of sea(Samundra manthan)  the halahal poison  that appeared was drank by Shiva in order to save the whole world on the same day of Mahashivratri and that's why they worship lord Shiva.
                       Rally by devotees 

Shiv Barat is organised at night in which people devote themselves in rally wearing diffrent attire to show their love towards lord Shiva disguising themselves as priests,ghosts, gods and goddesses etc.
I was amazed to see the devotion of peoples that how they are dancing without taking rest even in vrata(fasting). Shiva devotees believes that observing this fasts bestows the blessing of lord Shiva.

Wayfaring at Assi ghat

Shant lehrein , aur ek Assi ki saam  Ganga ka Paani, or Banaras ka naam It's a waste if you come to Banaras and don't visit Assi ghat . The holy vibes in the air there will surely snatch your heart away. The silent waves of Ganga was seemed to be saying "come, sit here I'll give you the peace you will get ever". The blow of soft air and the sound of the waves seemed to be a perfect combination for a music composition. No doubt why Bismillah khan was so perfect with his instruments.  It was around 6.15 pm when I reached Assi and the air there was so satisfying that I couldn't stop myself wayfaring at the shore . Many of the peoples were leaving the lightened diyas in the river. It's their way to show the devotion towards Maa Ganga. I got to know with a priest there that after killing the two demons Shumbha-Nishumbha Maa Durga threw her sword which landed on the Earth and resulted in emergence of river Assi (originates from Newda , Va...

It was like a dream come true when I reached Aluva Station in Kerela. My destination was still approx 120 km away. Heading towards the bus stand we got to know there which  may KSRTC (Karnataka state roads transport corporation) buses which goes to Munnar and for this I would like to thanks Karnataka government. It took nearly 4 hours to cover the distance to Munnar. It was a diffrent vibe I was getting there. There was a sweet smell mixed in the air which seemed to saying"yes you are in the heaven on Earth".                             Bus Stand- Munnar We were so excited to see the flowers Neelakuranjis and the tea garden covered in mist as it was the month of October, that means the best time to visit this place.  Kurinji  or  Neelakurinji , scientifically known as  Strobilanthus kunthianus,  is a shrub that grows once in twelve years and after 2006 it is the year the flowe...
