The vrat of Dasha Maa

The vrat of Dasha Maa

In the month of Shravan the women folk of the state representing mostly the lower strata of the society observe a ten days vrat (a vrat is a penance undertaken as a ritual occasion and calls for fasting, prayer often for a particular boon, and ritual worship according to set rules – at such times stories appropriate to the religious occasion, with the deity concerned appearing as a figure in the tale, are told by an older woman to a group of women) in the honour of Dasha Maa, and also in the honour of other folk deities

ગૌરી વ્રત તેમજ જયા પાર્વતીના વ્રત માટે ના જવારા

ગૌરી વ્રત તેમ જ જયા પાર્વતીના વ્રત માટે ના જવારા

ગૌરી વ્રત તેમ જ જયા પાર્વતીના વ્રત માટે ના જવારા

વરસાદ ની શરૂઆત સાથેજ ઘણા તહેવાર ની શરૂઆત થઇ જાય છે. અષાઢ માસ માં કુમારીકાઓ દ્વારા ઉજવાતા ગૌરી વ્રત અને જયા પાર્વતી વ્રત એ શિવ-પાર્વતીજીની પૂજા-અર્ચનાનું વ્રત છે. અષાઢ સુદ તેરસથી શરુ થતા આ વ્રત અષાઢ વદ ત્રીજ સુધી ઉજવાય છે. વ્રત ના અંત માં આખી રાતનું જાગરણ કરી કુમારીકાઓ વ્રત નું સમાપન કરે છે. પ્રસ્તુત ચિત્ર માં આ વ્રત ની પૂજા માટે મહત્વ ના જવારા બજાર માં વહેચતા જોઈ શકાય છે, જોકે હજુ પણ ઘણા લોકો આ જવારા ઘરે જ ઉગાડે છે.

૧૩૪ મી રથયાત્રા, અમદાવાદ – 134th Rathyatra in Ahmedabad

This Sunday was a special day for hindus, a festival associated with lord Jagannath. Decorated chariots of the deities which resembles temple structure are pulled through the city. A huge human crowd joins the festival, the main Rathyatra is held at Puri in Orissa. But there are few other places in India where Rathyatra is celebrated, including Ahmedabad. In fact Ahmedabad celebrates it since last 134 years.

My friend Keyur Soni shared few wonderful footage of Rathyatra, Ahmedabad City.

All Devotees want to get a chance to pull a chariots. Many people perform various activities through the path of Rathyatra, body builders and stunt men shows various acts. Ladies groups perform Bhajans. Regional news channel broadcasts live of this Rathyatra, and National news channel generally broadcasts live of Puri Rathyatra.
