𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐈: The Alliance
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: || Kesariya ||~ The Saffron Shade of Love
𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑: This story is a fictional account on the marriage of Maharana Pratap with Purbai Solankini, the Princess of Solanki Clan. She was originally known as Pyaar Kanwar Solanki, and her name changed after her marriage. It's strictly fictional and bashing in comments or in my Asks as anons is not allowed other than constructive criticism.
ᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀʟɪꜱᴛ | ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ
Tumblr media
Maharani Jaiwanta Baiji Songara took the flower from the copper plate nearby and pushed it on the needle, making it roll down in the white string of the Garland she was making. The Maharani of Mewar was as generous as the flow of the River, always giving and never asking. But there was one thing Jaiwanta Baiji was picky about.
The Pooja of Her Krishna.
And thus, the Queen of Mewar was stringing garlands of white Jasmine flowers along with her sister-wives, the other wives of her Husband Maharana Uday Singh, namely Sajja Baiji Solankini and Karamati Baiji of Marwar, Maharana Uday Singh's second and third wife respectively, his fourth wife Veer Bai Jhala having gone to the temple of Eklingji to pray for the beloved son of Mewar, Kunwar Pratap Singh Sisodiya who was stationed at Kelwara.
"Jija! Here." Sajja Baiji said and gave the newly strung garland to Jaiwanta Baiji, the dusky skinned beauty of Jalore taking it and admiring it. "Jija, I see you thinking about something a lot nowadays. What happened? You look worried." Karamati Baiji asked.
It was a known fact to both that why Jaiwanta Baiji thought a lot. The Songara Chauhan Princess was worried about the ammunition help that would be needed for future help. Maharana Udai Singh remained firm on his resolve to surrender to the Mughals, but some other Rajput kings did not consider it appropriate to fight against the Mughals. This was the reason that Mewar had less military force, due to which the Mewari Rajputs had to pay a heavy price in the future.
"I'm just worried about ammunition, Karamati Behna. We know that some of our family are openly with us, and some are against it. How will we fight the Mughals until we get enough military forces?" Jaiwanta Baiji placed forth her worry.
"Jija, why do you worry about this? Ranaji will find a good solution. And about ammunition, I'm here right? My Father Rao Prithvi Singh Solanki won't stay behind in helping Ranaji." Sajja Baiji said in a soothing tone, which eased the worry in Jaiwanta's heart. Just as she could string another flower, her maid walked in.
"Khamma Rani sa Hukum!" She bowed. "Rana sa Hukum as for you three's presence in his Private Chambers main room. He awaits you with Rawat Chundawat ji." She told them and the three Queens of Mewar looked at each other with furrowed eyebrows, wondering why he would need all of their presence at once.
They all looked at each other, as Amar came in running exactly then for Jaivanta Bai. She laughed softly and scooped the three year old into her arms and took him with them, knowing that seeing Amar will calm Ranaji down too.
Rana Uday Singh meanwhile was agitated, worrying his lower lip between his teeth as he paced around the map of Rajputana. "We need ammunition, Ranaji. Kunwar Pratap is in Kelwara with our Army, and Bhils of Van Rajya are with us all thanks to him. But we still need an entire army at our dispatch for our war against the Mughals." Rawatji said.
Rawat Sai Das Chundawat was a great and able commander for Mewar, who also worked as a Strategy Planner and a Advisor to Maharana Uday Singh. The History of Mewar said that originally, the Chundawats were the sub-caste od Sisodiyas. Their progenitor Chunda Singh was the original heir of his Father Maharana Lakha, but gave away the Throne to his younger step brother Mokal Singh Sisodia.
"I know, I know Rawatji. But you know what happened to the letters we sent. Some replied in agreement, some in disagreement and some weren't replied." Maharana Uday Singh said in a frustrated tone, just as the two heard the sound of anklets.
"Dadajiraj!” came the cheery voice of Amar, who ran straight to his grandfather’s arms, as the latter’s three wives entered, looking at their husband and understanding the tense situation.
"Bhanwarji!" Uday Singh smiled automatically as he picked up his grandson and kissed his head. "You were with your Dadisa?" He asked.
"I just went to her, Dadajiraj," said the three year old, his smile the same as his mother's, though everything else was a copy of Pratap.
"Bhanwarji, as much as I wish to talk to you and spend some time with you, I have something very important to discuss with your Dadisas. Why don't you go to your Maa sa Hukum?" Uday Singh said gently.
"Hukum Dadajiraj" Amar Singh slipped out of his hold and joined his palms in a greeting to everybody and left in search of his Mother.
"Ranaji, what happened?" Jaiwanta Baiji asked once she was sure Amar Singh had gone. "Jaiwanta Baiji, I need to talk to you about something important. I have discussed this new Battle plan with Rawatji for the war against Mughals but.." Rana Uday Singh trailed off looking away with a sigh.
"But?" Jaiwanta Baiji asked as Sajja Baiji and Karamati Baiji exchanged glances.
"But we are short of ammunition Jaiwanta Baiji.." He sighed, finally telling her his worries.
"Do you have any Kingdom in mind to form an alliance with?"
At this question of Jaiwanta Baiji, everyone looked at her. When the Queen shared a glance with other spouses of Kings, the other two knew what she was implying.
"Alliance?" Uday Singh furrowed his brows and looked at Jaiwanta Baiji. "I don't understand Jaiwanta Baiji." He said quietly. He did understand it very well, he just wanted her to say it clearly.
“To get a larger army and ammunition, we need to form an alliance,” Jaivanta said gently. “Shakta and Heer’s marriage strengthened the bond with Jalore, but what about Toda?”
“Toda?" Uday Singh blinked confused before looking at Sajja Baiji who stepped up. "Ranaji, my niece Pyaar Kanwar Solanki. She is the daughter of my younger brother and his first wife who died early, and my brother was martyred. She was mainly raised by my brother's second Wife Mumal Baiji and my Father Rao Prithvi Singh Solanki." Sajja Bai said. "She is around 2 or 3 years younger than Ajabde." She told him.
Rana Uday Singh nodded with a hum as he reminisced about the shy and timid Toda Princess whom he had seen ages ago when Sajja Baiji's brother was alive. "Will Kunwar Pratap agree? He's very protective of Ajabde Baisa." He asked.
"Why won't he when Ajabde Baisa convinces him?" Jaiwanta Baiji smiled innocently, making Rana Uday Singh look at her incredulously. "Jaiwanta Baiji, Ajabde Baisa is the eldest daughter in law of Mewar. She must understand that as the future Heir Kunwar Pratap has to marry multiple times, what is asking her then?" He asked.
"The same reason as you ask Dheer Behna before doing anything." Karamati Baiji piqued in with a sweet smile. Uday Singh froze, turning to look at Karamat Baiji and sighed. "Karamati Baiji, I ask you all too" He was cut off.
”Before you ask Dheer? I am your first wife!” Jaivanta Bai said with a frown.
"I am not saying that!!" Uday Singh said immediately, his eyes widening in the fear that Jaiwanta Baiji will get upset with him. Although she was never one to get upset, he had his own experience with her. But wait, WHY was he being reminded of those experiences now? They had a Son who had his own Son! Uday Singh mentally shook his head. Calm Jaiwanta Baiji first.
"Jaiwanta Baiji, I mean to say that I take your Paramarsh- I mean you fours too before asking her!" He tried to calm her down.
”You do? Then why are you questioning why Ajabde’s permission is needed?” Jaivanta fought back with her husband, glaring at him. Rawatji looked at the scene unfolding in front of him incredulously, standing quietly with an amused smile. The only person who can win against a stubborn Maharana Uday Singh was his first wife— Maharani Jaiwanta Baiji Songara of Jalore.
Uday Singh saw through it and sighed. Putting his hands on hips, he shook his head exasperated. "Jaiwanta Baiji, I can never win against you. Okay, you go and ask Ajabde, and I will write to Pratap only after getting her agreement." Uday Singh said.
Jaiwanta Baiji smiled victoriously, looking at her Sisters. "Then Ranaji, we must go back to our work." She said and took her leave, her feet turning towards Ajabde's room.

Karni Mata Temple In Bikaner, (Rajasthan Devdarshan)
Tumblr media
The Karni Mata Temple, located in Deshnok, 30 kilometers from Bikaner, Rajasthan, is one of the most fascinating temples in India. Known as the "Rat Temple," it stands out for its unique tradition of revering rats, which are considered sacred and auspicious. Dedicated to Karni Mata, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, the temple attracts thousands of devotees and curious visitors every year.
The Legend of Karni Mata
Karni Mata, a revered 14th-century mystic and spiritual guide, is believed to have divine powers. According to legend, when one of her devotees’ sons died, she tried to bring him back to life. However, Lord Yama, the god of death, refused. Karni Mata then granted a boon that her clan members would be reincarnated as rats and would eventually be reborn as humans. This belief is the foundation of the temple’s unique practice.
The Sacred Rats
The temple is home to over 25,000 black rats, referred to as kabas. These rats are believed to be the reincarnations of Karni Mata’s devotees. They roam freely within the temple premises and are fed milk, grains, and sweets by the priests and visitors. Devotees consider it a blessing to spot a rare white rat among them, which is believed to be an incarnation of Karni Mata herself or her sons.
Architectural Marvel
Constructed in the Mughal style, the temple features intricate marble carvings, silver doors, and a grand entrance gate. The inner sanctum houses an idol of Karni Mata adorned with a crown and garlands. The temple’s architecture beautifully complements its spiritual significance.
Festivals and Celebrations
The temple comes alive during the annual Karni Mata Fair, held twice a year in March-April and September-October, coinciding with the Navratri festival. Devotees gather in large numbers to seek blessings and participate in rituals.
A Unique Experience
Visiting the Karni Mata Temple is an unparalleled experience, offering a glimpse into Rajasthan's spiritual and cultural diversity. While the idea of coexisting with thousands of rats may seem daunting, the temple’s serene and sacred atmosphere leaves visitors in awe of its devotion and unique traditions.
The Karni Mata Temple is a testament to the profound faith and rich folklore that define Rajasthan, making it a must-visit destination for pilgrims and travelers alike.

Challenges Faced by Travel Agencies in 2024 and Beyond
Tumblr media
The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the travel industry, reshaping customer expectations and pushing travel agencies to innovate. While the global recovery is ongoing, travelers have embraced new norms, prioritizing safety, personalization, and flexibility. In Rajasthan, a hotspot for heritage and spiritual tourism, agencies have quickly adapted to these changes. This article explores the top trends in travel agency services post-pandemic, with a special focus on the evolving role of a Travel Agency in Rajasthan and their offerings, including the ever-popular Famous Temple Tour in Rajasthan.
Rising Trends in Travel Agency Services
1. Focus on Health and Safety
Travelers are now more conscious of hygiene and safety. Travel agencies have responded by:
Partnering with accommodations that follow strict sanitation protocols.
Offering contactless check-ins and digital transactions.
Ensuring local guides and transport providers adhere to safety standards.
In Rajasthan, a Travel Agency in Rajasthan often ensures that customers can enjoy iconic landmarks like the Hawa Mahal or Amber Fort without compromising safety. For a Famous Temple Tour in Rajasthan, agencies provide safe and sanitized transport options for a stress-free journey.
2. Personalized Travel Experiences
Post-COVID, there’s a growing demand for curated and exclusive experiences. Instead of rigid itineraries, travelers now prefer trips tailored to their specific interests, such as:
Private tours to Rajasthan’s palaces and forts.
Customized Famous Temple Tours in Rajasthan focusing on spiritual interests and convenience.
Agencies offer bespoke packages that cater to individual needs, from luxury seekers visiting Udaipur’s City Palace to devotees exploring Pushkar’s Brahma Temple.
3. Rise of Domestic and Regional Tourism
With international travel restrictions and heightened costs, domestic tourism has surged. In Rajasthan, local travel agencies have leveraged this trend by:
Highlighting less-explored destinations such as Bundi and Churu.
Promoting weekend getaways and short trips for Indian travelers.
Enhancing regional circuits, including Famous Temple Tours in Rajasthan, combining cultural and spiritual experiences.
The Role of Technology in Travel Agency Services
1. Virtual Consultations and Bookings
Digital tools have become indispensable for travel agencies. Features like virtual consultations allow travelers to discuss itineraries without visiting the agency. A Travel Agency in Rajasthan might use these tools to showcase travel packages, temple routes, and accommodation options, making trip planning seamless.
2. Virtual Previews
Travelers are now accustomed to virtual experiences. Agencies are offering virtual tours of Rajasthan’s landmarks, including temples, forts, and markets. This builds anticipation and ensures travelers make informed decisions.
For instance, a preview of the Famous Temple Tour in Rajasthan could include an immersive walkthrough of Dilwara Temples or Eklingji Temple, enhancing the booking experience.
3. Integration of Mobile Apps
Mobile apps have become essential tools for travel agencies. These apps help travelers:
Track their itineraries.
Access temple timings and important landmarks.
Receive real-time updates on COVID-related restrictions.
A Travel Agency in Rajasthan can use apps to provide personalized recommendations, ensuring tourists get the most out of their trip.
Sustainable Tourism Practices
1. Eco-Friendly Travel
Sustainability is now a key consideration for travelers. Agencies are promoting eco-friendly practices, such as:
Encouraging visits to lesser-known destinations to reduce crowding at popular sites.
Partnering with eco-conscious accommodations.
Supporting local artisans and communities.
In Rajasthan, this includes promoting rural tourism or organizing small-group visits to temples like Karni Mata Temple in Bikaner.
2. Community-Centric Tours
Agencies are focusing on experiences that benefit local communities. For example:
Collaborating with local guides for temple tours.
Including village visits as part of the Famous Temple Tour in Rajasthan, giving travelers a glimpse into local culture and traditions.
Trends in Famous Temple Tours in Rajasthan
1. Small-Group and Private Tours
Social distancing norms have made small-group and private tours the preferred choice. Agencies organize private visits to temples like:
Pushkar’s Brahma Temple, one of the few temples dedicated to Lord Brahma.
Ranakpur Jain Temple, known for its intricate marble work.
This ensures that tourists can explore these spiritual sites at their own pace without dealing with large crowds.
2. Cultural Integration
Temple tours now go beyond mere sightseeing, offering immersive cultural experiences. These include:
Participating in temple festivals such as Diwali at Govind Dev Ji Temple in Jaipur.
Learning about the legends and architectural marvels of temples like the Dilwara Temples in Mount Abu.
A Travel Agency in Rajasthan ensures that these tours blend spirituality with local culture, creating memorable experiences.
3. Virtual Pilgrimages
For those unable to travel, agencies now offer virtual temple tours. High-definition video walkthroughs of temples and live-streamed rituals allow devotees to connect spiritually from their homes.
Flexibility and Transparency in Travel Services
1. Flexible Cancellation Policies
Uncertainty remains a part of post-COVID travel. Travel agencies now provide:
Flexible rescheduling options.
Transparent refund policies.
This is particularly beneficial for tourists planning a Famous Temple Tour in Rajasthan, where last-minute changes might occur due to local restrictions.
2. Transparent Pricing
Agencies ensure that customers are fully aware of costs, including:
Entry fees to temples and monuments.
Additional charges for guided tours or special arrangements.
This transparency builds trust and encourages more bookings.
Conclusion
The post-COVID era has ushered in significant changes in the travel industry. By embracing safety, personalization, and technological advancements, travel agencies remain essential partners for modern travelers. A Travel Agency in Rajasthan exemplifies these trends, offering seamless and customized experiences across the state’s cultural and spiritual landmarks.
Whether planning a luxurious getaway or a Famous Temple Tour in Rajasthan, partnering with a travel agency ensures a stress-free and enriching journey. With these evolving trends, agencies continue to play a vital role in shaping the future of tourism.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Udaipur, 26th Nov. Udaipur witnessed high tension on Monday as property disputes overshadowed the traditional rituals of anointing Vishvaraj Singh Mewar as the titular head of the historic Mewar dynasty. The scion of Maharana Pratap’s lineage, Vishvaraj Singh, also a BJP MLA, faced resistance from his uncle, Arvind Singh Mewar, and cousin, Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, who allegedly blocked his entry to the City Palace and Eklingnath Ji Temple. Conflict Over Access Vishvaraj Singh, recently anointed at Chittorgarh Fort following the demise of his father, Mahendra Singh Mewar, sought to perform key rituals, including prayers at a sacred fire, or dhuni, within the City Palace premises. However, entry was denied, leading to a standoff that escalated into violent protests outside the palace late at night. In response, the district administration appointed a receiver to oversee the disputed portion of the palace. Udaipur Collector Arvind Poswal assured that peace had been restored and discussions to resolve the conflict were ongoing. Property Dispute at Core The disagreement centers around control over the City Palace and Eklingnath Ji Temple, both managed by Arvind Singh Mewar. Public notices warning against trespassing were issued by his lawyer on the day of the ceremony. Protesters expressed outrage, claiming the denial of access tarnished Mewar’s legacy. Randheer Singh Bhindar, head of the erstwhile Bhindar royal family, criticized the actions of Lakshyaraj Singh, calling them a “blot on Mewar’s history.” Similarly, Devvrat Singh of the Salumbar royal family condemned the incident, describing it as a “horrible message” to the country. Traditional Ceremonies Interrupted The anointment ceremony at Chittorgarh adhered to centuries-old traditions, including the tilak ritual performed with blood by Devvrat Singh. However, the subsequent rituals at the City Palace and Eklingnath Ji Temple remained incomplete. At Eklingnath Ji, Vishvaraj was to receive a silver staff symbolizing the position of Deewan of the ruling deity, Eklingji, a manifestation of Lord Shiva. The ceremony also involves replacing the white mourning turban with a colorful one to mark the end of mourning. Historical Significance The Mewar dynasty, renowned for its valor and resistance against Mughal emperor Akbar, continues to hold cultural and historical significance. Although the title of Maharana was abolished in 1971, the titular head remains a respected figure in the community. The district administration continues its efforts to mediate between the parties while ensuring that peace prevails. The outcome of the dispute will likely shape the future of the Mewar family’s legacy. The post Tensions Erupt as Mewar’s Titular Head Faces Palace Entry Denial Amid Ritual Dispute appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.
