Exploring of Pawapuri.2020 Diwali.

Pawapuri : A seat of Jainism.

Festival.Dr. Madhup Raman

       A light coming out from the Nirvan Sthal of Mahaveera will disperse the darkness and ignorance of the world.

       Biharsharif / CR. With the upcoming of Diwali festivals followers of Jainism from the different parts of country used to come to Pawapuri and prepare for the Nirvanotsav. It has been a unique tradition for the Jainis in the temple who used to offer the highest bid for Nirvan Laddu availing the chance for worshipping the Lord Mahaveer.

        But this year as the sources said there would not  be any gatherings in the 2546th Nirvan Mahotsav. With taking  all precautions from Corona virus this diwali  Pawapuri is not being over crowded with the devotees coming from  different parts of the countries. Usually this time Pawapuri should have been the prime attraction of Jain tourists and devotees.As the sources said this year celebration will celebrated with simplicity and without gatherings.

        A light coming out from the Nirvan Sthal of Mahaveera will disperse the darkness and ignorance of  of our insides and world and convey the messages of non violence, love and truthfulness around the world. 

        On 13th of November the 2546th Nirvan Mahotsav was inaugurated by Shrawan Kumar, Ex Minister,Bihar Government with all simplicity in presence of others concerned.

        Pawapuri literally it meant where our sin is destroyed is Pawapuri a famous place of pilgrimage for the Jainees for it was here that lord Mahavira, the great Jaina 24th and to last Tirthankara, attains Parinirvana in 490 B.C. It was around the Hindu festival Deepawali so  all the Jaini followers celebrate the Deepawali as their Nirvan Diwas of Mahaveer Swami, founder and the propounder  of Jainism.

        History : It has been recently a fact discovered that the birth place of Lord Mahaveera too lies in in Nalanda at Kundalpoor. Facts are based on archaeological evidences as temples, palaces have been unearthed around this area. It is obvious that Lord Mahaveer spent his much time in and around this locality in teaching his disciples. 

        Kundalpur is apart from Pawapuri in about 1K.M. from Nalanda University site where the  Digamberas believe that Vardhaman Mahavira, the last and 24th Tirthankars of the Jains was borne here. Naturally Kundal pur is a sacred place of the Jains. But according to some historians the birth place of Lord Mahavira was at Kundgram, a village in Vaishali which has been the capital of the ancient Republic of the Lichchavis.   

         

          Worth seeing places in Pawapuri :  

        

Entrance of Jal Mandir 

         Jal Madir - A beautiful white marble temple called the Jal Mandir center of a large lotus lake to commemorate the spot where Mahaveer Swami  was cremated. North of the lake lies, an old temple built .Originally the lake did not exist but crowds of people, devotees and visitors stared taking a pinch of the sacred dust from the holy spot to make the usual Tika or mark on the forehead, created a great hollow which formed the lake in the future. 
         On Deepawali jainis from all over India visit Pawapuri According to Jainis Depawali fuction is held to commemorate the Death day of the lord.

         Bird's Century. If we talk about the tank, the sacred pond remains the  birds century and claims habitats itself for the migratory birds from Siberian region during the winter season. We can witness the flock of the Siberian birds around the pond. In mid of the tank the the white coloured temple is situated. Ducks are usually found floating on the water surface. Lotuses emerging towards the surface  bursting out of water are with their diverging colour. 

         Samosaran Temple : It is an important architectural monument of Jainism, in Pawapuri. A temple with the foot prints marks the spot of Samosarna.

         Gao Temple : It is an another worth seeing temple in Pawapuri for all Jainis coming from different parts of the country.

         Ashapuri Temple : Just 2 to 3 km away from the Samosaran Temple at Ghosrawan village in Pawapuri there is a seat of belief for all Hindu devotees where the people frequently visit the Asahamaharani Temple to fulfill their wishes .
Surprisingly there is a stop on the entry of  the women during the period of Navratri. As sources say that as  the temple stands for the mysterious relegious  nacromancy activities during the Navrtra that is why it is  suggested for the women not to enter the temple premises.

         VIMS : It is known as  Vardhaman Institute of Medical Science a well equipped hospital cum medical College run under Bihar Government provides all sorts of facilities not only  for the patients of Nalanda, but Bihar.It was established in the year of 2013 providing quality education towards medical affiliated by Aryabhatta Knowledge University and approved by the Medical Council of India.

          How to reach World wide famous Pawapuri is well connected  by road settled on NH 20 .We the itinerants can visit these all places for attraction in a span of 10 - 12 hours only in a day. It remains only 9 km away from district headquarter Biharsharif.

         There is  a regular bus service from Biharsharif  to Nawada which stops 2 K.M. away from Pawapuri Jal Mandir on the main road. From there tongas are available and there are several Jain Dharamshalas if you wish to stay at Pawapuri.

         Through the Bakhtiyarpoor Rajgir  Railhead it is just near to the Pawapoori Railway Station.

Villagers celebrating Deepawali in a very unique way Bhella.

Report : Damini Rana. Dehradun.

Dehradun

Report Damini Rana.

Dehradun / CR.This is an exclusive part of diwali celebration in Uttarakhand Garhwal region villages known as 'Bhella'. In this unique tradition villagers used to gather at the common place and tie the bunch of small pine wood sticks at one end  of a climber and burn them. And  holding it from another side and they play with it.

As it is known to us that there are some exotic dances of Garhwal and Kumaaon as Choliya, Langvir Nirtya, Pandav Nirtya, Jhora and Jagars. Like other states the locals of Uttrakhand people express their joys and sorrows through dance.

This was celebrated specially in villages as there were no electricity and access to resources like candles, diya, etc to celebrate diwali. And that time people used to celebrate their own way to welcoming the returning back of Lord Rama in Ayodhya in such a way.

As we all know that there has been a tale amongst us that we light the candles and diya for welcoming the coming of Lord Rama,Sita and Laxmana after the victory over Lanka King Ravan.
