JAI JWALA MAA !!!                JAI JWALA MAA!!!                 JAI JWALA MAA!!!   

         Hi Friends this time my journey to Dev Bhumi Himachal Prdesh, today 24/8/2014, 5:30 pm I have started my journey for Himachal Prdesh. Actually I have an exam for Ph.D. at NIT Hamirpur (H.P.), so I have to reach at NIT before 9:00 am , I was a little nervous because I had no time to spend some where else, And when I reach to kashmere gate isbt there was no bus to Hamirpur, but wait I asked at the HRTC counter and I got a hope there, the man on the counter he was saying that don't you worry there will be bus at 7:45 pm to Hamirpur and it will drop you there around 6:00 am in the morning. Now I am totally relaxed and waiting for bus.

 Now I am in the bus on my seat, and there is also a guy from Indian Army (NSG Commando) next to my seat so it was wonderful time because this guy from Himachal Prdesh and NIT Hamirpur is in his way, so now he is going to guide me up to NIT. And he is also very nice guy we discussed a lot during the journey on different topics. And when we reach to Hamirpur he take me to the NIT in another bus and he also told me that if you have any problem you can call me any time, and then with the handshake we sad bye-bye to each other. Now I am at the main gate of NIT Hamirpur.

And I am moving to fined my friend in NIT, and after walking few minutes I find him, he is Nitesh Sharma doing Ph.D. in Chemistry from NIT Hamirpur.

Now this time to go for exam, and after completing my exam  I meet my other friend Ashish, he is also doming Ph.D.  and he take me to his hostel for lunch and in the evening I also meet to my friend Dineshwar and we together see the beautiful campus of NITH.

Now this time for result, I have qualified for the second round and second round is in the next morning, in the next morning I have completed my second round and then in the afternoon, I have decided to visit Jwalaji madir, it is 58 km from Hamirpur in kangra district.

 Jai jwala maa!!

Historically; shrines dedicated to Jwala Ji were based on fissures from which natural gas seeped by itself. The number of flames is usually either seven (for the seven divine sisters) or nine (for the nine Durgas) several schools of Buddhism also share the symbolism of a seven-forked sacred flame.

In this temped there is a chatra!!

Picture of Chatra

Story about chatra: The King AKBAR offered this Chatra to Jwala Mata Ji. This was supposed to be Gold Chatra, but, as per the story, because of Akbar's ego, it was not accpted by Jwala Mata Ji and it fell, broke and the gold changed into a strange metal, which till today nobody knows what metal is that. This Chatra is kept in a clear see inside the temple.

After Devi Darshan I just take a bus to the Delhi. bye bye Himachal !!!!
