Lagadh village : Let’s go to Lagadh village And Satyavati lake
Lagadh village
Lagadh village :There was a riot when I had to ask for only one groom at a time. The devotees, who had reached the hill on foot to ask for many brides, were in a dilemma. What to do now After making a plan, he shouted and said, “Ah!” Grandmother Satyavati, to see my eldest son fall in love with the man pillar of the middle floor. It can be said in one sentence or in one breath.
It is customary to turn the Satyavati lake next to the temple, shout loudly and reach the bridegroom. After the bridegroom’s request is fulfilled, he will fly a dove or go near Satyavati’s grandmother again to sacrifice a goat or a male. Wooden towers and scaffolding built by the locals to explore the mountains
At least three brothers and a son, a three-storey house with a middle floor, a dhansar (a dhansar is not filled with land for cultivation of grain) and cows are used for seduction. Combining almost everything, the relevance and importance of the bridegroom asked in one sentence and the sentence structure are considered important. This is a proverb or is known as the bridegroom with reference to Satyavati Bajya.
Probably, among the temples of Nepal, the custom of shouting and asking for a bride like this may be the first or the only one. They said that Satyavati’s grandmother was physically handicapped. That is, she was deaf! Cultural expert Jhpendra Bahadur GC is not ready to accept that. He adds, “Are the goddesses or grandmothers who bless others deaf?”
If you don’t listen to your grandmother’s request, how can you fulfill it? Kartik Shuklapaksh falls on Chartudashi (the full moon after Tihar is considered to fall on Kartik). If there is jog, there is a grand fair. At the fair, more than one lakh devotees from around 50 districts of the country come to ask for a bridegroom and some to offer sacrifices after the bridegroom’s request is fulfilled. During the fair, there is no place to set foot not only in the temple but also on the roads leading to it. The fair lasts for three nights and four days. Eating and drinking tends to be a disaster.
