#History of Mandore

In the 6th-century CE, Mandore was the principal seat of authority of Pratiharas of Mandavyapura. The princess of the Pratiharas dynasty married King Rao Chunda of Rathore dynasty, who received the Mandore’s Junagarh Fort as a dowry at the wedding. ImageImage
In 1427,Mandore became the seat of the Rathore clan &Rao Rinmal Rathora became the ruler of Mandore.Besides this,Rinmal was also the administrator of the Kingdom of Mewar until 1438,when he was assassinated by the Mewar ruler,Rana Kumbha, who then took over the throne of Mandore. Image
Rao Jodha, son of Rao Rinmal escaped assassination and tried recapturing Mandore for several years, but all attempts failed. But in 1453, Rao Jodha managed to get Mandore back.
Over the centuries, Mandore served as the capital of many Jodhpur kings, and even witnessed... Image
..several invasions from different dynasties, including the Muslim rulers of Gujarat and Malwa. So, in order to protect Mandore further from invasions, the capital was shifted to the hilltop Mehrangarh Fort, as it offers better safety and protection to the royal kingdom. ImageImage
This ancient town was left in ruins following abandonment. All that’s left today is Mandore Gardens that have survived the wear&tear of time &reminds visitors of the town’s glorious past.Mandore Gardens houses ancient temples,memorials&high-rock terraces that r quite magnificent. ImageImage
One of the intriguing sights is the Cenotaphs or chattris of the many Maharajas of Jodhpur, which leave visitors in awe with their well-preserved state. The cenotaphs dates back to the 17th to 18th centuries, and are a group of red sandstone buildings with intricate carvings,... Image
...pillars, tall spires, elaborate corridors and sculptural embellishments. The verdant lawns surrounding these buildings add to the charm. These cenotaphs remind of bygone eras and the architectural brilliance of craftsmanship of that time. Image
There are sign boards everywhere in the garden, carrying the name of the Jodhpur rulers for whom these stunning structures were erected. ImageImage

🌺।।There are some enchanting rarest sacred Hindu Temples that open their doors to devotees just once a year।।🌺

Here is a list of 8 of those Must Visit Hindu Temples that Open Once a Year and, every Sanatani must try n Visit them in their lifetime;

A Thread 🧵Image
⚜️1. The Temple of Rani Pokhari

Originally known as Nhu Pukhu, Rani Pokari in English means Queen’s pond. Built-in the 17th century, the pond lies in the center of the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, and standing in the center of the pond lies the temple dedicated to Matrikeshwor Mahadev, a form of the Hindu deity Shiva.

It opens only once a year on the fifth and final day, “Bhai Tika” of Tihar (Deepawali), the devotees visit the temple walking through a causeway that bridges the streets and the temple surrounded by water. On this day, when all Hindu women pray for the prosperity of their brothers, and those without their own brothers to pray for,
go to the temple.Image
⚜️2. Nagchandreshwar Temple

There are many temples of Nagas in India, among which is a unique one, Nagchandareshwar Temple in Ujjain. It is situated on the third floor of Ujjain’s Mahakala temple. A wonderful statue of Shiva-Parvati sitting on the seat of a non-spreading Nag resides in the temple. Built-in the 11th century and unlike anywhere else in the world, it is said that the statue of Shiva-Parvati was brought here from Nepal.

This temple is only opened in Nagpanchami, once a year. It is when, on this day Nagaraj, Taksak is believed to be present in the temple himself. It is believed that this is the only temple in the world with a statue in which Sri Vishnu is sitting on Bhagwan Bholenath.Image

🌺।।जब महिषासुर के पुत्र गजासुर का वध कर महादेव ने उसे ही वरदान देकर कृतकृत्य कर दिया।।🌺

क्या आप जानते हैं?

भगवान् शिव का एक नाम कृत्तिवासा भी है। क्यों पड़ा ये नाम? आइए जानते हैं;

एक कथा 🧵Image
"महिषासुर का पुत्र गजासुर सर्वत्र अपने बल से उन्मत्त होकर सभी देवताओं को उत्पीड़न कर रहा था।

यह दुस्सह दानव जिस-जिस दिशा में जाता था, वहाँ पर तुरन्त ही सभी दिशाओं में भय छा जाता था।
ब्रह्मा से वर पाकर वह तीनों लोकों को तृणवत् समझता था। काम से अभिभूत स्त्री-पुरुषों द्वारा यह अवध्य था। इस स्थिति में उस दैत्यपुगंव को आता हुआ देखकर त्रिशूलधारी शिव ने मानवों से अवध्य जानकर अपने त्रिशूल से उसका वध किया।

🌺।।In Sanatan Dharm, we believe in many auspicious numbers and 5 is one of them।।🌺

A Thread 🧵 about the significance of number 5 in Sanatan Dharm

The concept of “five” is widely prevalent in Indian culture—from Panchabhutha (five elements) to Panchdev, Panchkanya to Panch Vatvriksh, Panch Puja Upchar to Panchamrit.Image
"Five" has a special significance in Indian philosophy and culture. From nature to worship, there is mention of Panchtatva, Panchdev, Panchendriya, Panchkarmendriya etc. in many dimensions of life.
🌺Let us understand the meaning and importance of these five groups in detail🌺:

⚜️1. PANCHTATVA (Earth, Sky, Fire, Water, Air)

According to Indian philosophy, the universe is made up of 5 fundamental elements:

EARTH: Symbol of solid form, which gives us stability and foundation.

SKY: Symbol of expansion, which represents infinity and void.

FIRE: Source of energy and change, which is the power that drives life.

WATER: Symbol of fluidity and emotions, which nourishes life.

AIR: Symbol of movement and communication, which is life-giving in the form of Pranavaayu.

These Panchtatva not only represent the various forms of nature, but are also present in the structure of our body and mind.

🌺।।प्रभु श्रीराम की वानर सेना के बारे में कुछ रोचक बातें एवं कौन सा वानर किस देवता के आशीर्वाद से जन्मा था।।🌺

आइए जानते हैं 🧵;

भगवान राम की सेना बहादुर वानरों से प्रभावित थी जो उनके महायुद्ध में उनकी सहायता के लिए प्रकट हुए थे।Image
सम्राट दशरथ के पुत्र के रूप में प्रकट होने से पहले, भगवान विष्णु ने ब्रह्मा को आदेश दिया कि वे सभी देवताओं को वानरों के माध्यम से शक्तिशाली पुत्र उत्पन्न करने का निर्देश दें। ये जन्मे वानर जन्म से ही वीर, वायु के समान वेगवान, कोई भी रूप धारण करने में सक्षम, युद्ध में कुशल, नीति में निपुण और अथाह शक्ति के स्वामी थे। सभी प्रमुख देवताओं ने वानर सेनापतियों को जन्म दिया जो उनके पिताओं से भी अधिक गौरवशाली थे।
🌺आइए जानते हैं ऐसे ही कुछ देवता और उनके वानर वंशजों के बारे में🌺;

⚜️1. ब्रह्मपुत्र – जाम्बवान

वानर सेना में प्रमुख भालू, ब्रह्मा के मुख से पैदा हुए थे जब वह जम्हाई ले रहे थे। भालुओं का बूढ़ा राजा सदैव बुद्धिमान था और वह हर बात पर सावधानी से विचार करता था और वानर सेना को हर समय सही सलाह देता था।
