उदयपुर का ‘कोणार्क’ : 9वी शताब्दी पुराने सूर्य मंदिर की कहानी

उदयसागर झील से निकलती नदी, बेड़च। इसके किनारे एक बेहद पुराना मंदिर बना है। यह मंदिर आपको तब भी नज़र आता है, जब आपका प्लेन महाराणा प्रताप इंटरनेशनल एअरपोर्ट पर उतरने ही वाला होता है, उस क्षण से कुछ ही पहले, यह मंदिर आपको अपनी और खींच लें तो कोई बड़ी बात नहीं होगी और तब मुमकिन है, आपका मन इसके बारे में जानने को उत्सुक हो जाए।

9वी शताब्दी में बना यह सूर्य मंदिर ‘उदयपुर का कोणार्क’ भी कहलाता है। मंदेसर गाँव में बने इस मंदिर की कहानी, शहर के इतिहासकार- अध्यापक डॉ श्रीकृष्ण ‘जुगनू’ की ज़ुबानी है। उनकी लिखी किताब ‘मेवाड़ का इतिहास – श्रीकृष्ण जुगनू’ के चौथे अध्याय में इस मंदिर का ज़िक्र मिलता है।

“मंदेसर का सूर्य मंदिर उसकी स्‍थापत्‍य रचना के आधार पर 10वीं सदी का माना गया है, किंतु यह 9वीं सदी का होना चाहिए। क्‍योंकि इसमें दिक्‍पाल(दिशाओं का पालन करने वाले देवता) दो भुजाओं वाले हैं, और उनका विधान(निर्माण) प्राचीन शिल्‍प की परंपरा को लेकर हुआ है। उनके आभरण-अलंकरण भी उसी काल के दिखाई देते हैं। निश्चित ताल-मान के आधार पर ही यहां की मूर्तियां बनी हैं, जिनमें सभा-मंडप की सुर-सुंदरियों पर तस्‍करों की बराबर नज़र रही है। मूल प्रतिमा तो सालों पहले ही नदारद हो गई, उसकी जगह गांववालों ने बंसी वाले श्‍याम की प्रतिमा विराजित कर रखी है। हवाई अड्डे पर हवाई जहाज से उतरते समय इस मंदिर की एक झलक दिखाई देती है।

पूर्वमुखी का यह मंदिर प्रवेश मंडप, सभा मंडप और गर्भगृह- इन तीन स्‍तरों पर नागर शैली में बना है। मूलशिखर अब नहीं रहा लेकिन, मंडप से लेकर, गर्भगृह की बाहरी भित्तियों पर मूर्तियां खंडित ही सही, मगर मौजूद है। इनमें ‘सूर्य के स्‍थानक’ और ‘सप्‍ताश्‍वों पर सवार’ मूर्तियां अपने सुंदर सौष्‍ठव-सुघड़ता और भव्‍य भास्‍कर्य के लिए पहचानी जाती हैं। निर्माण काल के करीब एक हज़ार साल बाद भी इनका भास्‍कर्य और दीप्ति वही जान पड़ती है जो कभी रही होगी क्‍योंकि जिस श्‍वेत पाषाण का इसमें प्रयोग हुआ है, वह बहुत विचार और परीक्षण के साथ काम में लिया गया है। जिन शिल्पियों ने इस मंदिर का निर्माण किया, वे विश्‍वकर्मीय विद्या को प्रतिस्‍पर्द्धा की तरह प्रयोग लाने के प्रबल पक्षधर थे। इसी कारण दिक्‍पालों और उनके आजू-बाजू सुर-सुंदरियों का तक्षण किया गया। उनके अंग-प्रत्‍यंग को पूरी तरह ताैल कर उभारने का प्रयास हुआ है। दिशानुसार दिक्‍पालों के उनकी दोनों भुजाओं में आयुध बनाए थे और नीचे तालानुसार उनके वाहन को भी उकेरा गया है।

सुर-सुंदरियों के निर्माण कुछ इस तरह हुआ है कि वे गतिमयता के साथ प्रदर्शित होती हैं। पद, कटि, अंगुलियों, कलाइयों, भुजाओं, गलाें, कान, नाक से लेकर सिर तक आभूषणों को धारण करवाया गया है। केश विन्‍यास बड़ा ही रोचक है। कहीं अलस-कन्‍या सी अंग रचना तो कहीं त्रिभंगी रूप में स्‍थानक रूप। आंखों की बनावट भी अनुपम लगती है। उनके इर्द-गिर्द सिंह-शार्दूलों को उछलकर कायिक वेग को साकार करने का जो प्रयास यहां हुआ, वह बहुत ही राेमांचकारी लगता है। मंदिर के पीछे प्रधान ताक में सूर्य की अरुण सारथी सहित सप्‍ताश्‍व रथ पर सवार प्रतिमा है जबकि उत्‍तर-दक्षिणी ताकों में स्‍थानक सूर्य की प्रतिमाएं हैं। इन पर आकाशीय देवताओं, नक्षत्रों का मानवीकरण करते हुए मूर्त्‍यांकन किया गया है। शिल्‍प और स्‍थापत्‍य की कई विशेषताएं और भी गिनाई जा सकती हैं।

यह सूर्यमंदिर सालों पहले सूर्य आदि ग्रहों व नक्षत्रों के आधार पर आने वाले समय के सुकाल-अकाल होने की उद्घोषणा का केंद्र रहा है। यह मान्‍यता मेवाड़ के लगभग सभी सूर्य मंदिरों के साथ जुड़ी है, मगर अब ऐसी उद्घोषणाएं लोकदेवताओं के देवरों में होने लगी है। न यहां मगविप्र रहे न ही ज्‍योतिषीय अध्‍ययन होता है। वर्तमान में यह मंदिर राजस्‍थान पुरातत्‍व विभाग के अधिकार में है। विभाग के अधीक्षक मुबारक हुसैनजी का आभार कि उन्‍होंने इस संबंध में देर तक चर्चा की और चित्र उपलब्‍ध करवाए तो लिखने का मन बन गया। कभी फुर्सत मिले तो इस सूर्यायतन को भी देखियेगा और फिर स्‍वयं कहियेगा कि इसे शिल्‍पकारों ने बनाया या शिल्पकारों को इसने बनाया।”

– डॉ. श्रीकृष्‍ण ‘जुगनू’

यदि आप इस मंदिर को देखने का मन बना रहे हैं तो यह डबोक एअरपोर्ट से कुछ आगे मंदेसर गाँव में मिलेगा। जाना आसान है। लोकल ट्रांसपोर्ट की मदद से आप गाँव तक पहुँच सकते हैं और यदि ख़ुद की गाड़ी से जा रहे हैं तब सिर्फ गूगल मैप्स की ज़रूरत पड़ेगी। मंदिर बहुत पुराना है, यदि देखने का मन बना रहे हैं तो जल्दी जाइएगा। क्या पता कल हो न हो!

Bagheri ka Naka- A Perfect Place for Monsoon Getaway

It is rightly said that “ Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…rather it’s more about learning to dance in the rain”. Usually, monsoons are considered dark and gloomy, which is absolutely a fallacy. And particularly if you are in Udaipur it cannot be monotonous, knowing that it is one of the best monsoon destinations in India.

People in Udaipur are always ready to fasten their seatbelts to hop on to the nearby areas during monsoon instead of merely sitting inside homes and sipping tea with pakoras. Monsoons are extremely pleasurable and one cannot make an omelette without breaking an egg, so get ready to get wet.

One such ideal place to visit during monsoon is Bagheri ka Naka which is a picnic spot for locals. Bagheri ka Naka is a small dam, nearly 50 km away from Udaipur in the Rajsamand district which is named after the village Bagheri.

The place is a feast to the photographers’ eye, having lush green Aravali hills offering a perfect backdrop for the frame. The place usually gets flooded with people during rains when the water from the dam overflows. Moreover, it falls on the Udaipur-Kumbhalgarh lane which itself is a picturesque site where you can witness clouds kissing the mountains and thus a perfect place for a family getaway.

Do’s and Dont’s

The place is in the interior of the village and you cannot find shops or good restaurants on the way or nearby area, hence it will be good to take food and some refreshment along.
The place is an excellent destination for photography enthusiasts, thus make sure that you do not forget to carry your camera or smartphones.
There is a pathway leading to the top of the dam, which offers a complete 360-degree view of the dam and the lake. It is suggested to wear comfortable trekking footwear so that you can easily climb the rocky track that leads to the dam.
Most people visit during monsoon to enjoy the overflow of water from the dam. Be cautious while you step in the water, since running water may cause a casualty.
Be very cautious while you step in the water, the base may be slippery which might cause you to fall.
Special precautions must be taken if you are taking kids along, at the same time adults should be watchful during the time the dam overflows.

Best Time to Visit

Monsoon is probably the best time to visit Bageri ka Naka because the dam overflows and that just doubles the beauty of this place. Locals usually prefer to visit during weekends but for a traveller, any day can be the best day.

How to reach

The place is nearly 50 km and a more than an hour ride from Udaipur since the roads are narrow and not very well developed. This place can also be reached from Nathadwara and is merely 31 km from there. Private cars or taxis are the best options, however, if you are a true adventurer you can travel through a bike as well.

This Fort in Jhalawar is India’s only Fort Built without Foundation | Read to Know More

In the entire world, if there is a which has a humungous number of forts and palaces, then it would be Rajasthan. Go to any part of the state and you’ll find a fort or fortress waiting for you. Today’s article is dedicated to the one such amazing fort named as ‘Gagron fort’.

Located in the Jhalawar district of Rajasthan, this fort is surrounded by water from all sides. Not just this, but the fort is unique in its own way as it is the only fort which doesn’t have any foundation. Gagron Fort’s popularity has been spread far and wide for its glorious history and awe-inspiring architecture.

Gagron Fort and its outstanding architecture

Gagron fort was constructed by the Dod king Bijaldev in the 12^th century and the fort was ruled by the Khinchi kingdom for 300 years. Although the exact time of the construction is not known. Historians say that the fort was built from the seventh century to the fourteenth century.

It has witnessed a total of 14 wars and 2 Jauhars (Hindu custom of mass self-immolation). The magnificence of the fort can be estimated by the fact that it has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is the only Fort of northern India which is enveloped by water; hence it is also called ‘Jaladurga’. Generally, all forts have two ramparts but Gagron Fort has three. Along with that, its towers are blended with Mukundara Hills of the Vindhyan mountain ranges where the hill itself is acting as the foundation of the fort.

The fort has two main entrances. One gate leads towards the river and the other leads towards the hilly road. Earlier this fort was used to give the death penalty to the guilty. Inside the fort Ganesh Pol, Nakkarkhana, Bhairavi Pol, Kishan Pole, Selekhana are the important gates. Apart from this, there are other important historical sites in the fort such as Dewan-i-Aam, Diwan-e-Khas, Janaana Mahal, Madhusudan Mandir, Rang Mahal etc.

The significance of Gagron in the Medieval period is known by the fact that both the famous emperor Sher Shah and Akbar the Great conquered it and merged it into their empire. Akbar also made it his headquarters, but in the end, gave it to Prakashraj of Bikaner as a part of his estate.

The Unfortunate Saga of Jauhar at Gagron Fort

Achaldas Khinchi was the last Khinchi-Chauhan ruler of the historically renowned Gagron Fort. In 1423 AD, Sultan Hoshangshah of Mandu surrounded the fort with 30 thousand horsemen, 84 elephants and numerous infantry with many other rich kings. When Achaldas realized the tremendous army and advanced weapons of the enemy, he clearly estimated his defeat. At that point in time, instead of surrendering in front of them, he sacrificed his life while fighting with valor. Following that thousands of women embraced death to protect their self-respect from the enemy.

Some Interesting facts related to Gagron fort

After the victory of Hoshangshah, he was so impressed by the bravery of Achaldas that he did not meddle with the king’s personal residence and his other souvenirs. For hundreds of years, the fort remained with the Muslims, but out of fear or respect, no one dared to remove or destroy Achaldas’ bed from the bedroom. Till 1950, the bed remained in the same place.
According to the folk tales, the spirit of the king Achaldas Khinchi would come and sleep on this bed every night. At night, many people claim to have heard the noise of someone smoking sheesha from this room.

The maintenance and cleanliness of the king’s bedroom were managed by a hairdresser on the behalf of the state. It is said that every day he used to find 5 Rupees on the bedside. The hairdresser once told someone about this incident and from then on he stopped receiving it.
Once, an ADC attempted to steal the sword of the king but he had to leave it midway as it was extremely heavy. Currently, the sword is guarded in the Jhalawar Police Station.
The fort also houses a number of peacocks and unique parrots. These parrots are known as Hiraman parrots and are considered to be twice the size of the normal parrots. They are usually dark in color and have black stripes on their neck. They are experts in mimicking human speech very well.

The picturesque and the most dramatic fort never disappoint any of its visitors. Everyone leaves with a tinge of history and lots of memories to cherish.
