A Thread 🧵

In Hindu tradition, Kshetrapal literally means “Guardian of the Region” (Kshetra = region/area; Pal = protector). These divine beings are considered protectors of specific places — villages, temples, forests, mountains, or directions — ensuring safety, purity, and balance in that domain.Image
Here’s a detailed overview 👇

🌺।।Meaning and Role of Kshetrapala।।🌺

Kshetrapal Devtas are guardian deities assigned to protect a particular kshetra (area).

They maintain spiritual order, ward off evil forces, and ensure prosperity in their region.

Every sacred space — especially temples and pilgrimage spots — has a Kshetrapal who oversees and guards it.Image

🌺।।Since Bhagwan Sri Krishna is the 9th Avatar in the 10 incarnations of Sri Vishnu, here are 9 interesting facts about our beloved Bhagwan Sri Krishna।।🌺

A Thread 🧵

1. Sri Krishna was dark and not blue in complexion

Sri Krishna’s colour has been described as blue primarily in many historical writings but it comes to be known that he was not actually blue. He had a darker complexion. He was also very good looking and a natural charmer. Many kathak dancers and writers call him Shyam meaning one of a darker complexion backing up the fact.Image
2. Sri Krishna had once advised people to worship Govardhan mountain

It was a usual day for the residents of Vrindavan. They were on their way to worship Dev Indra for the rain. Krishna stopped them midway and explained to them the importance of mother nature and the Govardhan mountain. He asked them to worship the mountain and nature instead of Indra Dev. This called for Indra’s rage over Vrindavan and led to the flooding of the entire town. Sri Krishna then picked up the mountain on his smallest finger and saved his fellow villagers. Yet another presentation of his divine self.
3. Draupadi & Krishna shared an unbreakable bond

Through the chapters of Mahabharata, it is very evident that Sri Krishna and Draupadi shared a very special bond. Their bond was one of its kind. Krishna addressed Draupadi as his Sakhi and Draupadi addressed Krishna as his Sakha. He was always there to guide her and be her biggest support system.
