हरियाणा के महावीर सिंह फोगाट को तो सब जानते होंगे? आखिर जानेंगे भी क्यों नहीं कुश्ती में उन्होंने देश भर में अपना नाम जो रोशन किया था । उदयपुर में भी कुछ इसी तरह की हस्ती रही थी । महावीर सिंह जी ने तो केवल अपनी बेटियों को कुश्ती के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया था । लेकिन इन्होंने पुरे शहर के लोगों का कुश्ती में प्रवेश कराया । इस हस्ती का नाम है उस्ताद श्री लक्ष्मण सिंह जी ।
दंगल फिल्म के बाद सबसे पहला सवाल यही आता है की क्या वाकई में ये सब असल जिंदगी में होता होगा? क्या पहलवानों की जिंदगी वैसी ही होती है जैसी फिल्मो में दिखायी गयी थी? वैसे इन बातों के अलावा और भी काफी सवाल मेरे मन में आये थे और उनमे से सबसे पहला ये था की आखिर उदयपुर में कुश्ती या wrestling की क्या स्थिति है? क्या यहाँ भी लड़के और लड़कियों को कुश्ती करने से रोका जाता है?
कुछ ऐसे ही सवाल हम सभी के मन में होते है । यही सवाल मुझे खींच कर ले गए उदयपुर के सबसे मशहूर अखाड़े पर जिसका नाम है ‘उस्ताद श्री लक्ष्मण सिंह का अखाड़ा’ ।
अखाड़े पर मेरी मुलाक़ात उस्ताद अर्जुन राजौला जी से हुई । उस्ताद की उम्र 64 साल की है और वह बचपन से ही कुश्ती करते हुए बड़े हुए है । इस मुलाक़ात में कई सवाल जवाब किये मैंने उस्ताद से अखाड़े और कुश्ती के बारे में और उन्होंने हर एक सवाल का काफी सटीक और बखूबी जवाब दिया । आइये पढ़ते है हमारी बातचीत के बारे में ।
इस अखाड़े की स्थापना कब हुई?
“अखाड़े की स्थापना सन 1966 से भी पहले हुई थी । यह अखाड़ा पहले हाथीपोल में हुआ करता था उसके बाद अब स्वरुप सागर पुलिया के पास है । उस्ताद जी ने कहा की उदयपुर में 60 के दशक में करीब 27 अखाड़े हुआ करते थे । धीरे धीरे वे सब बंद होते गए और अब यह संख्या घट कर सिर्फ 5 रह गई है ।”
यहाँ पर क्या क्या कार्यकलाप होते है?
यहाँ की प्रमुख गतिविधि कुश्ती है और उसके अलावा सहस्त्रकला और प्राणायाम होते है ।
आपकी कितनी पीड़ियाँ कुश्ती में रह चुकी है?
“पूरा रजौरा खानदान कुश्ती के लिए ही जाना जाता है । ऐसा समझ लीजिये की कुश्ती का पर्यायवाची ही रजौरा है । राजौरा खानदान की 5-6 पीड़ियाँ कुश्ती में रही । अभी मेरे बेटे कुश्ती के कोच है और अब मेरे पोते भी कुश्ती के अभ्यास में ही लगे हुए है ।”
इस अखाड़े की शुरुआत किसने और क्यों की? क्या रही इस अखाड़े के पीछे की कहानी?
इस अखाड़े की शुरुआत उस्ताद लक्ष्मण सिंह जी ने की थी । असल में उस ज़माने में कुश्ती सिर्फ महलों तक सीमित थी । सिर्फ राजसी लोगों को कुश्ती करने की इजाज़त दी जाती थी । इसके बाद हर समाज के लिए अलग अलग अखाड़े बने । हिन्दू के लिए अलग, मुस्लिम के लिए अलग और छुआछूत की परेशानी के कारण कई समाज के लोगो को अखाड़े में प्रवेश तक नहीं करने दिया जाता था । उस्ताद लक्ष्मण सिंह जी ने फिर इस अखाड़े का निर्माण किया जिसमे पहली बार हर जाति के लोगो को आने की इजाज़त थी । जिन लोगों को पहले किसी भी अखाड़े में नहीं आने दिया जाता था उन्हें भी इस अखाड़े ने स्वीकार किया । उस्ताद लक्ष्मण सिंह जी अपने समय में इतने शक्तिशाली और सज्जन आदमी थे की अखाड़े के पास में मौजूद पुल का नाम उन्ही के नाम पर रखा गया । इस तरह उस्ताद लक्ष्मण सिंह जी भी उदयपुर के महावीर सिंह फोगाट कहे जा सकते है ।
क्या उदयपुर में भी बहुत लोग कुश्ती में दिलचस्पी रखते है?
उदयपुर के लोग कुश्ती में ज्यादा दिलचस्पी नहीं रखते है । इसके पीछे कई कारण है । सबसे पहला तो क्रिकेट जैसे खेलों के चलन के बाद सभी उसी तरह के खेल खेलना चाहते है । बचपन से ही बच्चो के हाथो में बल्ला और गेंद थमा दिया जाता है जिससे आगे चलकर भी वे ऐसे ही खेलों में दिलचस्पी रखते है । ऐसे में कुश्ती को बिलकुल नज़रंदाज़ कर दिया जाता है ।
दूसरा कारण यह भी है कुश्ती जैसे खेल को कई मिथकों का सामना करना पड़ता है । लोग कहते है की कुश्ती करने से इंसान बेवकूफ़ हो जाता है । जबकि असल में कुश्ती एक ऐसा खेल है जिसमे बल के साथ साथ दिमाग का भी इस्तेमाल उतना ही ज़रूरी है जिससे वह एक अच्छी राजनीति बनाकर उस मैच को जीत सके । लोगों का ये भी मानना है की इससे शरीर को कई तरह के नुक्सान होते है । ऐसा नहीं है । एक पहलवान को उच्च आहार लेना होता है जिसमे घी, सूखे मावे जैसी चीज़े होती है । ऐसे में उनका शरीर और ज्यादा अच्छा और मजबूत हो जाता है ।
शहर के सभी युवा सदस्यों को आप क्या सन्देश देना चाहेंगे?
मैं शहर को सभी युवा और उनके माता पिता को भी यह कहना चाहूँगा की कुश्ती कोई बुरा खेल नहीं है । अगर आप स्वस्थ रहना चाहते है, अच्छे आचरण पाना चाहते है, अपने धर्म का पालन करना चाहते है तो कुश्ती ज़रूर कीजिये । कुश्ती आप में ब्रह्मचार्य की भावना पैदा करता है । इसमें आपको काफी उच्च आहार दिया जाता है जो की आपको बुरी आदतें जैसे धुम्रपान, शराब जैसी चीजों से दूर रखता है । उस्ताद श्री लक्ष्मण सिंह के अखाड़े में प्रवेश और अभ्यास करने के लिए किसी तरह का मूल्य नहीं लगता । लगता है तो सिर्फ कड़ी मेहनत और दृढ आत्मविश्वास ।
एक और सवाल पूछा मैंने उस्ताद अर्जुन से की जैसा की भारत में कई जगह होता है और हम फिल्मों में भी देखते ही हैं की लडकियों को कुश्ती नहीं करने दी जाती । उनके माता पिता उन्हें इस तरह के खेल नहीं खेलने देते तो इस पर आप क्या कहना चाहते है ?
उनके इस दिलचस्प जवाब को मैंने कैमरे में कैद कर दिया । अगर आप भी जानना चाहते है तो नीचे दिए हुए विडियो को देखिये ।
लक्ष्मण अखाड़े में जब मैं पहुची तब मुझे एहसास हुआ की वहां एक सिटी बेस्ड टूर्नामेंट चल रहा है । शायद ये मेरी अच्छी किस्मत रही होगी की मुझे इस तरह का मुकाबला देखने को मिला । वहां मैंने बच्चे, जवान, लड़के, लड़कियों सभी को कुश्ती करते हुए देखा । मुझे पता चला की इस मुकाबले में जीतने वाले लोग जिला स्तर पर कुश्ती के लिए अजमेर जायेंगे।
कुछ ऐसे विचार रखने वाले पहलवानों को मैं दिल से सलाम करती हूँ । एक पहलवान की ज़िन्दगी बहुत ही मेहनत, दृढनिश्चय और आत्मबल से भरी होती है । कुश्ती कतई एक आसान खेल नहीं । इसमें भारी बल के साथ तेज़ दिमाग की आवश्यकता होती है ।
आप क्या सोचते है इस बारे में? हमसे शेयर करे नीचे दिए हुए कमेंट सेक्शन में । अगर आपके पास कोई फीडबैक है जो आप हम तक पहुचाना चाहते है तो मुझे मेल करे juhee@udaipurblog.com पर ।

Udaipur is well-known for its magnificent palaces, traditional food, scenic lakes, and also the scorching heat that is this season. Almost everyone is talking about the prickling heat that has brought every work to a standstill, but this doesn’t stop us from visiting different places or hanging out with friends at the lakeside, does it?
As the summer season in Rajasthan moves towards its climax, there are some important things all of us must make a note of, in order to beat the heat and keep our bodies hydrated and healthy. Most of us have to head out during the peak hours of the day when the air is very humid. While there are several measures we can take to safeguard ourselves from the hot spell, the best and foolproof way is to gulp down a chilled glass of fruit juice or shake to quench your thirst and keep yourself hydrated at the same time.
There are dozens of juice shops spread across every nook and cranny of the city and we have finally come up with a list of some of the best juice shops in town to put an end to your dehydration woes. Take a look at the following list and try them out for yourself!
1. Manohar Phal Bhandar

A city is made up of the people that live in it. Udaipur is made up of artists! Be it the narrow alleys or the wide marketplaces, the City of Lakes is flooded with artisans in various fields that entice and awe-inspire travelers from all across the globe. Whether it is wooden toys or zinc furniture or handmade jewelry, everything here is indigenous and from the very roots of the city.
One such community of artists is the Silversmiths. Living in the tapered lanes of the Old City of Udaipur, you will find a number of small ‘Chabutra’ style shops that are business places to one of the most creative people I say. These are the Silversmiths.
I am a fan of silver jewelry, and just in the search for some customized silver ornaments I met this person some 4-5 years back and since then he is my fave!
A couple days back I decided to have a small interview (more of an impromptu chat, like I, always have with him). He mainly does repairing work and has stopped making ornaments. While, if insisted he makes ornaments. He also does piercings in nose, ears etc.
I believe that these people deserve the acknowledgment of their art. Their ways and techniques are old but that’s what the essence of their work is. He makes the smallest and tiniest pieces of silver jewelry by hand and each one is unique in its true sense.
I always get things customized for myself and he does that without losing his patience on me!! (*laughs*)
We asked him to make two nose pins that we could buy. Here, is a small video of him making the two nose pins and talking to us regarding his work. Let’s meet Mr. Yash Kumar Soni.
You can Contact them at:

Address: Laxmilaal and Sons (Kundan Art Works), Ganesh Ghati, Old City, Udaipur

I would love to hear their story!

Jag Mandir Palace is a palace built amidst the Lake Pichola on an island. It was earlier called Gul Mahal. The history of Jag Mandir Palace is dated back to the year 1623. Maharana Karan Singh (1605-1627) extended a helping hand to protect Emperor Shahjahan (before he became the Mughal emperor) from the danger of getting thawed in his campaign. Initially, he was kept safe in city palace along with his wife Mumtaz Mahal and his two children Prince Aurangzeb and Prince Dara. After that, they were shifted to safe refuge, Gul Mahal. Gul Mahal was specially built for Shahjahan. It is said that the inspiration for one of the wonders of the world, Taj Mahal, came from Gul Mahal in Shahjahan’s mind. The palace is now converted into a resort. To know more about the Palace, Click here.

The palace was constructed by Fateh Singh who ruled Mewar from 1885 to 1935. The purpose of the palace back then was to serve the esteemed guests of the royal family during any royal functions. And the purpose has still not changed much. It is now converted into a heritage hotel where renowned people stay during their time in Udaipur.
Lake Palace was built under the direction of Maharana Jagat Singh during his ruling time from 1743 to 1746. It was initially called Jagat Niwas or Jan Niwas. Lake Palace was built as a winter palace by Jagat Niwas, however later on the successive rulers used it as a summer resort by holding their durbars in its courtyard. Now, it is converted into a luxury hotel where renowned guests and celebrities stay during their visit to Udaipur. To know more about Lake Palace, click here.

The work of Shiv Niwas Palace was started by Maharana Sajjan Shambhu Singh and finished by his successor Maharana Fateh Singh at the beginning of 20th century. Initially, it was the royal guesthouse for all the royal guests coming to visit the Maharanas. In those times it hosted a number of royal gatherings which includes George V of the United Kingdom in 1905, and Edward the Prince of Wales. But later it became difficult for the royal family to afford the cost of large number of royal residencies that it owned and so along with the Lake Palace, they decided to convert it into an income-generating hotel.
Mewar has always been rich when it comes to its history and culture. While most of us knew some of these places and their history behind, some of these were quite new for us, isn’t it?

Udaipur is a city of dreams. People from all around the world have bucket listed Udaipur on a priority and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t. After all, it is one such city which is pretty appealing in every field whether it be history, culture, food, palaces, you name it and it shines already. Oh, and did I tell you it has several other names too such as city of lakes, Kashmir or Rajasthan, Venice of the east, etc.? With all these things, one thing is for sure that when one visits the beautiful city of lakes, he will not only be awestruck by the beauty of the city but on the other hand he will be completely smitten and would want to stay here forever.
But be careful, while you are just getting indulged in the beauty of the city and travelling with all your heart, there are some things which you should better not do, so that at the end of your trip, all that you have is memories and lots and lots of mind-blowing pictures at all the exotic locations.
Do not think of Udaipur as an ordinary city

While we get tired of praising the city, there are so many people out there who think Udaipur as a small town with nothing much to explore. You should never ever do that. It is true that the city is not too large in area but, trust me, it is enough. It is not a drop in the ocean, it is an ocean in a single drop. In fact, the size of the city will be very helpful to you. You won’t have to travel for hours to go from one spot to other, unlike metros where you just spend your whole day and get to visit only 1-2 places. Here you can travel almost 50% of the city roughly in 24 hours. Isn’t it an added perk to the City of Lakes?
You should not utter a single bad word about Fatehsagar

Fatehsagar has been the heart of the city for a very long time. You can spot people chilling at the pal of the Lake at every time of the day, at every season of the year. And on weekends, the place is literally flooded with people. And there’s no reason it shouldn’t. The place, after all, is something where nature shows the most beautiful self. So now that you know the essence of the place, it is quite clear that if you say anything bad about the Lake, the people here might get a bit defensive or it is also possible that they might change your perception towards it.
Do not have some random junk food as your meal

While you are on your visit to Udaipur, do not fill your stomach with ordinary food which you can get all around the country. Rather please your taste buds with the exclusive traditional food of Rajasthan which is Dal Baati. You cannot leave Udaipur without having this delicious delight. Other delicacies which you would want to have in here is Ghatte ki sabzi, Laal Maans (if you are non-vegetarian), Rajma, Ker Sangri, etc. These are all the traditional Rajasthani food which are so delicious that at the end of every bite you will keep licking your fingers.
You should not miss going to the palaces
Udaipur is very rich in terms of its history and culture. It is not, in any way, less than any other city when it comes to royal palatial properties and forts. Which is why it is also called the royal city. There are several palaces and forts which are directly connected to the history of its rulers who used to rule Mewar back then (Udaipur and some more cities combined was called Mewar back then). Forts like Sajjangarh Fort, Kumbhalgarh Fort, and palaces such as City Palace, Lake Palace, etc. are the monuments which are standing intact from those times in the city.
If you are a tourist do not go for any other means of shopping instead of street shopping

If you are someone who doesn’t belong to Udaipur, then it would be a mere waste of money if you opt for any other means of shopping instead of street shopping. The main reason behind that is you will not get such forms of clothing, jewelry, and other handicrafts anywhere so you would not want to waste your money on something which you already have or you can get anywhere. You can get traditional clothing items, modern jewelry, different handicrafts, handmade painted t-shirts, paintings, etc. It is suggested that you go shopping in the old city of Udaipur.
Do not forget to praise the beautiful lakes all around
There are a total of 11 lakes in and around the city. Aren’t you astonished by the fact that in such a small city resides a total of 11 lakes? These Lakes involves famous lakes which are Fatehsagar, Pichola, Badi Lake, Udai Sagar and other Lakes such as Swaroop Sagar, Dudh Talai, Goverdhan Sagar, Purohito ka Talaab, Goverdhan Sagar, Madaar, Jaisamand Lake, and Rajsamand Lake. The shocking fact about these lakes is that most of these lakes are artificial, handmade lakes. These lakes are so beautiful and peaceful that they will just take all your worries from your life. You will be actually forced to praise them for their beauty.
Udaipur offers the same amount of peace and serenity to everyone who visits this city. It will just capture your heart right away and keep it here forever. Once you visit the city, you will always yearn to visit again. Well, these were some things which you absolutely not do while on your visit to the amazing City of lakes.
