Independence Day 2024 Special: On the occasion of Independence Day, the entire country is painted in the colours of the tricolour, then how can the God of Gods, Mahadev, remain untouched by these colours. The Shivling installed in the historic 32 pillared chhatri (umbrella) situated in Mandal of Bhilwara district of Rajasthan was also decorated in the form of the tricolour. There was a long queue of Shiva devotees to see this.
Sawan Mahotsav is being organized here from Hariyali Amavasya to Raksha Bandhan. In such a situation, special decoration of Lord Shiva is done here every day. In this sequence, today on the occasion of Independence Day, Lord Shiva has been decorated in the colors of the tricolor, which has become the center of attraction for the people.
What is the history of the umbrella of 32 pillars?
The historic 32 pillars chhatri is 700 years old. Let us tell you that there was an army chief named Jagannath Kachhawa in Akbar’s army who was a Shiva devotee. Kachhawa was martyred during the war, in whose memory the 32 pillars chhatri was built. This chhatri is made of white marble stones. In the middle of this 32 pillars chhatri, a Shivlinga of about 5 feet 14 inches height made of stone has been installed, which is the center of faith and devotion of the people.
A fair is held here in the month of Saavan
Nand Lal Gari, secretary of Siddheshwar Mahadev Seva Samiti, said that a grand fair and Mahaarati is organized on this umbrella from Hariyali Amavasya of the month of Savan to Raksha Bandhan. Along with this, the umbrella is decorated with attractive lights. On the lines of Mahakal, here also Lord Shiva is decorated differently every day.
