7 Amazing facts about Kullu Dussehra you didn’t Know!
Kullu Dussehra is one of the most beautiful and amazing festival celebrated in Kullu Valley.
History of Kullu Dussehra - It’s the legend of 16th century when Raja Jagat singh used to rule over Kullu kingdom. It is believed that one day he came to know about the peasant in the region who was possessing the riches of pearls. Raja Jagat Singh became greedy and wanted to own the riches of the peasant and thus ordered the poor peasant to either handover the pearls to the king or get hanged but the irony of situation was that the pearl possessed by the Brahmin was the great wisdom and knowledge, Knowing of the consequences peasant threw himself in the fire and cursed the king that “Whenever you will eat, the Rice will appear like worm and water like blood”. To change his fate Raja was told by the brahmin to go and fetch Raghunath deity from Ayodhya and hence Raja Jagat Singh told one of his brahmin to do the desired work. The Brahmin sneaked into the city and was able to steal the deity of Raghunath but was captured by the local people of the Ayodhya. It is believed that when they were carrying the deity towards Ayodhya the weight of the deity increased manifold but when carried towards Kullu it became light. This Raghunath deity is placed in the rath during the Rath yatra on first and last day of Dussehra and this is how Dussehra in Kullu is celebrated. I have written history in facts because many people don’t know about the history of this amazing festival and hence I believe it is an amazing fact to know Kullu Dussehra.
Kullu Dussehra was declared an international event and is witnessed by around 4-5 Lac people from across the globe.
No Burning or ravan - The burning of Ravaan is basically a symbol of Dussehra festival. But the most amazing facts about Dussehra in Kullu is that no Ravaan is burnt during the event of festival celebration. I have visited number of states during Dussehra festival but I have not seen a single state in India where Ravaan is not burnt during Dussehra, But Kullu is such a state. Dussehra festival is marked with pulling of Rath along the Dhalpur ground.
Fair and Festival - Kullu Dussehra is not only about the Rath Yatra but there is more to explore. Here you can do shopping, eat you favorite snack, Chill out with your friends or family members. The festival is celebrated for nearly 7 days where the four main grounds of Dhalpur are covered with various stalls.
Guinness Book of World Records - Kullu Natti has its name in the Guinness Book of World Records as “The largest Nati dance consists of 9892 participants, achieved by District Administration Kullu, in Himachal Pradesh India on 26 October 2015. The event was headed by DC – Kullu Rakesh Kanwar.The folk dance was dedicated to the theme of the girlchild (beti hai anmol)and the participants would take a pledge to work for the cause.

The 17th Century is the basis of Kullu Dussehra‘s historical context. Legend has it that Raja Jagat Singh was the monarch of Kullu. It’s claimed that he heard about Durga Dutt, a woman who allegedly owned stunning white pearls. He felt an urgent desire to possess the pearls. Durga Dutt did his utmost to convince the King that instead of having pearls, his greatest commodity was knowledge.

Mughal Women
Ok while I was scrolling through tumblr today on women’s history, one thing struck me odd - there wasn’t a single post regarding the women of one of the richest, most powerful empires in the history of the world. So here’s to you ladies - icons, role models and most of all - badass queens.
1. Isaan Daulat (lit. Good fortune) : Grandmother of Zahiruddin Khan or as he is famous, Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty, Isaan Daulat regularly advised her son on statecraft and warfare, and carried out most of his diplomatic missions. According to a source, Isaan Daulat’s husband was once killed in a war against the Shah of Persia. The Shah thereafter proceeded to “gift” Isaan Daulat to one of his generals. However, the same night, Isaan Daulat had her retinue murder him in the courtyard, “while she sipped wine reclining in the moonlight courtyard” as a witness claimed. When the Shah arrived, he questioned her about this action, to which she replied, “Islam gives me a right as a widow to marry by my convenience. You just handed me to him like cattle, and therefore his killing is perfectly justified by Islamic Sharia. You should consider yourself lucky.” The Shah of Persia then sent back Isaan Daulat with the wealth and assets he gained from that war, and declared her and her lineage as his sister and nephews. This later helped to back the Mughals’ legitimacy. Sadly, Isaan Daulat could never enjoy the land her descendants called home.
2. Gulbadan (lit. she with a rose like body) : Gulbadan was Babur’s eldest daughter, and was quite adventurous. She had famously chronicled the lives of her father and her brother Humayun, the second Mughal emperor. She looked after administration while her brother fled from place to place. She had also embarked on a seven-year voyage to Mecca and Medina for The Hajj, encountering the malicious Portuguese (she had to bribe them with a fricking town for guarantee of safe passage), pirates, kings, sufis and many more, and was thus also called Hajji Begum. She held a special place in Akbar’s zenana as his aunt.
3. Hamida Banu : Princess of Sindh, she was married off at the age of 15 to a much older Humayun at the age of 15. She had accompanied Humayun in all his wars and also on his journey to Persia, for asking the Safavid Shahs to help them recapture Hindustan. She was Akbar’s mother.
4. Maham Anagah and Jiji Anagah : Akbar’s wet nurses, they had raised up Akbar while his parents tried to win their empire back. Maham Anagah was Akbar’s chief advisor and head of his zenana, before a failed coup by his son, after which he was killed and later on she was relieved of her post, despite still holding Akbar’s favour. Jiji Anagah’s children extensively married into the Mughal family, and her husband Mirza Aziz Koka was Akbar’s head of finance. Her family, wealth and power grew so much, as the Emperor’s favourites, that they were collectively known as the Atka Khail.
5. Ruqaiyya Begum : Akbar’s first cousin, and also his first wife, Ruqaiyya Begum was Akbar’s chief queen and Padshah Begum of the zenana. Though she remained childless, she reigned supreme in the zenana and commanded her husband’s respect in a society where a woman’s existence was through her children. She was the main force behind Noor Jahan and Jahangir’s wedding, and was also the person who raised Shah Jahan.
6. Salima Sultana Begum : Wife of Akbar’s general Bairam Khan, she was later married to Akbar after Bairam Khan’s assassination. Her son Abdur Rahim was later made Khan-i-Khanan or Commander of the Mughal Army. She was the one who had brought up Jahangir, and thus he was also called Salim. An erudite scholar, she managed Akbar’s library along with her own private collection, commissioning new works and translations of others. She later protected Jahangir from Akbar’s wrath after Jahangir had him poisoned in a bid for the throne.
7. Harkha Bai : Bollywood knows her as Jodhaa, while history knows her as Maryam-uz-Zamani, Harkha Bai was the Rajput Princess of Amer and the daughter of Raja Bharmal. She was married to Akbar as part of a political alliance, and later became Jahangir’s mother. She was the richest woman of her time, her wealth being more than Akbar’s, and she also had one of the most valuable lands (jagirs). There are 2 famous anecdotes on her -
Once, an English merchant had bought her indigo farms at Bayana, Rajasthan. When she got to know of this, she practically destroyed that merchant, bought back that farm, and later had it burnt.
Another time, the Portuguese had captured and set fire to her ship the Rahimi, one of the largest and finest ships in that time, in a last bid to maintain their hold in India and the Arabian Sea against the increasingly powerful English. In retaliation, Jodhaa had all of their ships burnt, snatched their powers and wealth, and basically made paupers out of them. She died as the richest woman in Mughal history, before Noor Jahan.
8. Anarkali : A courtesan, with whom Jahangir (then Prince Salim) fell madly in love, many historians now consider the very real possibility that she never existed and was instead “invented” by the Mughal family as someone to blame for the tension between Akbar and Jahangir. According to the folklore, Akbar didn’t approve of Salim and Anarkali’s relation, and after she and Salim refused to end things, he had her entombed alive in a wall.
9. Maan Bai : Harkha Bai’s niece, she was Jahangir’s first wife. She later committed suicide by an overdose of opium when Jahangir had her son Khusrau blinded and imprisoned in a bitter war of succession. Her brother Man Singh was one of the Nine Gems (navaratna) of Akbar’s court, and had defeated Rana Pratap in the famous Battle of Haldighati.
10. Jagat Gosini : Princess of Jodhpur, she was the Padshah Begum of Jahangir’s zenana before Noor Jahan, and also the mother of Shah Jahan. She was the biggest obstruction in Noor Jahan’s historic rise to power. She was not on good terms with then Dowager Empress Ruqaiyya Begum (see above) and hence, Ruqaiyya Begum demanded that Shah Jahan be handed over to her so that she could raise him up, and also helped Noor Jahan against her. A local folklore also suggests that she had been the one behind the miscarriage of Noor Jahan after she had come into the zenana. She faded after Noor Jahan’s rise, but still held respect and power.
11. Noor Jahan (lit. Light of the World): The most famous and powerful woman in the history of the Mughals, Noor Jahan was born as Mehr-un-Nisa (lit. Sun amongst Women) to Persian immigrant parents. Brought up in Agra alongside Akbar’s court, Noor Jahan was an intelligent woman full of talent and potential. She was married off at 19 to Sher Afghan, a commander in Akbar’s army. The marriage was a failure, and moreover Noor Jahan suffered through 8 miscarriages with him, before the birth of her daughter, Ladli (lit. Darling or Beloved). After her husband was murdered in a coup, Ruqaiyya brought her to the Imperial Palace as part of her retinue, and later helped her and Jahangir get married, with she being Jahangir’s twentieth and final wife. Her rise to power was quick, owing to her own ambition and intellect, and some help from her father Itimad-ad-Daulah (Royal Treasurer of the Mughals), brother Asaf Khan (a prominent minister in Jahangir’s court) and Ruqaiyya Begum. Her seal as the Padshah Begum became second only to that of Jahangir, and later even surpassed his own. She brought great innovations to fashion, cosmetics, administration, architecture and gardening, city planning, and many more. She was the one who had arranged the marriage between her niece Arjumand Banu and Shah Jahan. Her marriage with Jahangir was a success – both of them were tempestuous and cared and loved each other deeply. Later, as Jahangir’s health started failing due to asthma and alcoholism, she took over the reigns and took the Mughal empire to great heights. The first British ambassador, Sir Thomas Roe, arrived in her time. However, she gave the British no rights or privileges till the Rahimi incident, and extracted a great many gifts from him, including a carriage made entirely of silver. She had designed her parents’ tomb near the Yamuna river in Agra (it was later copied by Shah Jahan), and she also designed Jahangir’s tomb in Lahore (modern day Punjab, Pakistan). She had tried to get Shah Jahan to marry her own daughter, but he refused and so she completely withdrew her support from making him the emperor, and instead opposed him. Shah Jahan thus had to flee to Burhanpur, with his eldest children Dara Shukoh, Jahanara, Aurangzeb and Roshanara in Noor Jahan’s custody. Later, he waged war against Noor Jahan with help from her brother Asaf Khan. Noor Jahan was ultimately defeated in Kashmir. She was deprived of her wealth, status and power and exiled to Lahore with her daughter and granddaughter. Her influence still remained, with Shah Jahan keeping her legacy alive by copying the Taj Mahal from the tomb she designed for her parents.
12. Mumtaz Mahal : Born as Arjumand Banu, she was Noor Jahan’s niece and Shah Jahan’s most beloved. She died in childbirth while giving birth to her fourteenth child – a girl called Gauhar.
13. Jahanara : Eldest daughter of Shah Jahan, she was the one who headed the empire after Shah Jahan was left heartbroken following Mumtaz’s death, and became active in the construction of the Taj Mahal. Noor Jahan is often described as being fond of her, taking care of her education personally. She was known as Padshah Mallika, and her flower-shaped seal was the most powerful. She was an accomplished dancer, poet and a patron of the arts. She conducted the most expensive wedding ever, between her brother Dara Shukoh and Nadira Banu Begum, valued at 2 lakh rupees then, approximately 2 billion USD in today’s time. She supported Dara Shukoh in his bid to become emperor. Later, she was imprisoned by Aurangzeb after he imprisoned Shah Jahan and killed all his remaining brothers.
14. Roshanara : Shah Jahan’s younger daughter, she was also an accomplished poet, but always at loggerheads with Jahanara. She later supported Aurangzeb as emperor.
15. Dilras Banu Begum : Aurangzeb’s first wife and Padshah Begum of his zenana, Dilras Banu belonged to the Safavid dynasty of Persia. She was mother of all of Aurangzeb’s children. However, she died an year before Aurangzeb’s succession. The Bibi ka Maqbara (Tomb of the Lady) in Aurangabad, which bears a striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal, was constructed by Aurangzeb in her honour.
16. Zeenat-un-Nisa : Aurangzeb’s eldest daughter, she was the Padshah Mallika after her mother’s death. She survived Aurangzeb by a great many years, and was respected by his successors as a remnant of a magnificent past. She was known for her charity, and was buried in the Zeenat-ul-Masjid built by her in Dlehi.
17. Zeb-un-Nisa : Aurangzeb’s favourite daughter, Zeb-un-Nisa was the most accomplished poet in Mughal history, with her works still surviving and enjoyed. She was an atheist, but later converted to Sufism. She led a secret society, and lead a rebellion against the oppressive and harsh rule of her father. She was subsequently imprisoned by Aurangzeb, where she died. She was buried in the Tees Hazari Bagh (Garden of 30,000 Trees) near the Kashmiri Darwaza (Kashmir Gate) in North Delhi. Her tomb was later shifted at Akbar’s Mausoleum in Sikandra, Agra when Delhi was expanded following Independence.
Well people, this has been an informative post. You’re welcome.

WHO WAS JODHA BAI ?
Famous spiritual Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji Maharaj once said that this world is full of miracles. There are millions of miracles in the world about whom nobody can unravel their mystery. So as our eminent historians are also capable of creating any type of miracles. One such miracle is the creation of Akbar's Jodha Bai. It may be their poetic or creative license or a great political design. But one thing is sure, that they have created their own patterned history, which suits their Godfathers.
Famous film producer Ashutosh Gowarikar has made a film, Jodha-Akbar but he has to answer some uncomfortable questions about the identity of Jodha Bai. Now a question is raised whether she was Akbar’s or Jahangir’s or anybody else’s or she existed at all.
Indian historians have succeeded in peddling an imaginative romanticised folklore of Jodha Bai as trenches of history. Now scholars are raising doubts over the very existence of the character of Jodha Bai, which has been created by the Indian historians for Mugal Emperor Akbar.
Now a natural question comes to mind, that after all who was Jodha Bai? Whether she was a real character or the imagination of historians to fulfill their designs? Now, the groups of historians who believe in the existence of Jodha Bai are bitterly divided about her conjugal position. One group of historians made this Jodha Bai as Akbar's wife while other group made her Akbar's daughter in law or wife of notorious prince Salim, who later came to be known as Jahangir.
Abul Fazl, Badaumi, and Nizamuddin Ahmed, etc wrote in their account that the eldest daughter of Raja Bhar Mal of Amber was married to Akbar, but her name was kept a secret. Her name was also omitted from the Vanshawali of the Amber raj gharana. After giving birth to a male child this princess was titled as Mariyam-us-Zamani. Akbar had many wives, but this Rajput queen was the chief queen.
Some historians believe that the second Rajput wife of Jehangir was Jodha Bai whose real name was Jagat Gosain and she was the daughter of Raja Uday Singh of Jodhpur. The word Jodha has traditionally been the name of princess of Jodhpur.
But there is unanimity on one point this mysterious lady was the daughter of Raja Bharmal, the Rajput ruler of Amber, but no body knows the name of this prince. It is another mystery that even Jahangir, in his memoirs, Tuzuk-i- Jahangir, kept complete silence about his own mother. He no where mentioned that Jodha Bai was his mother.
There is no authentic historical evidence to corroborate this fact that the daughter of Amber rules Raja Bhar Mal was married to Akbar. First time this was mentioned by a Punjab historian, Sujan Rai Bhandari, in his book Khulasaf-ut-Tawarikh that the mother of Jahangir, was the Amber prince, whom Akbar married. But Rai also no where mentioned, the name of that princes and the mother of Jahangir as Jodha Bai.
Noted historian James Tod gives another version. He wrote in Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, first published as Annals of Rajputana in 1832. He says there was a Jodha Bai daughter of Rai Singh and married to Jahangir and who was very powerful in the Mughal court. Some historians believe that the Kachwaha Rajputs of Amber had given a daughter to the Mughals. She was the daughter of Bhagwan Das but her name was lost in obscurity. This princess was married to Jahangir and was mother of Khusro.
Then who was Jodha Bai? Another noted historian Prof. Satish Chandra twisted the saga of Jodha Bai in a different direction. In an NCERT text book on history on Medieval India, he states on page No.165 that one Udai Singh married his daughter Jagat Gosai to Akbar’s eldest son Salim or Jahangir. This Jagat Gosain later on came to be called as Jodha Bai, who mothered Shahjahan, Mugal emperor after Jahangir.
It is a very sad commentary on the caliber of history scholars and academicians that the country does not know the real facts about Jodha Bai, the wife of Akbar or Jahangir, a real or fictitious character.
History is a very important subject. But after independence some handful of historians are firmly in total control of all the affairs of history in our country and at their will and suitability they have twisted the tales of history. As a matter of fact this group of eminent historians in our country are the agents of certain political outfits. So tales and facts have emerged from their jholas, not from research institutions and libraries.
It would be in the fitness of things to discuss another fact about Akbar in this creation of fictitious history. A group of historians, came very close to declare that Akbar almost renounce Islam and started and embraced Deen-e-Ilahi, sect. , due to the powerful influence of this rajput princess. So it can be very safely argued that when Akbar breathed his last, he was not a Mugal but the founder head, follower and preacher of Deen-e-Ilahi. But due to secular pulls and pressures, this theory could not see the light of the day.
Now it seems that, there definitely a powerful lady existed during the era of Akbar and Jahangir. She was very close to both father and son duo and naturally both were interested in her also. Perhaps she was like a modern day PAGE-3 brand socialite, whom rajput rulers might have presented to Akbar and Jahangir to influence and control wild Mugals, like honey trap and in their attempts they were highly successful too.
Now one question comes to mind, why historians created and romanticized the character of Jodha Bai so intelligently that it enhanced the stature of Akbar considerably.
First thing may be, that by highlighting the marriage of a Rajput Princes with a Mugal, Indian historians have in mind to lower the pride and chivalry of Rajputs in particular and Hindus in general and enhance the stature of Moguls. Second by connecting different tales with the legend of Jodha Bai Indian historians might have in mind to create a gigantic, huge, character of Akbar the Great, who was liberal and secular, because most of the eminent Indian historians live and die to project Moguls as secular and liberal.
So this is high time that in the interest of the nation and society, such type of biased history and history writers should be shown the door. Nation and people should have honest, authentic and unbiased history of their nation, people and civilization. It is also the duty of Human Resource Development Ministry, UGC, Indian History Congress etc., to give projects to clear the doubt over the legend of Jodha Bai.

Top places in Udaipur to visit on a weekend with your family
Udaipur is one of the most visited tourist destinations in India. The serene locale of Udaipur is surrounded by the pristine Aravali ranges, which acts as a perfect setting for the city’s diverse geography and lush green landscapes. While you are here, it is essential that you visit a couple of its fascinating places. To help you with your planning, we have come up with this list of the best weekend trips in Udaipur. The great thing about Udaipur is that it offers variety for each and every traveller so everyone will love this place. You can visit Udaipur by booking taxi service in Udaipur
Best Places to Visit in Udaipur:
1. Udaipur City Palace, Udaipur
The City Palace was built in 1726 by Maharana Jagat Singh I, son of Raj Singh who founded the city of Udaipur. It then underwent several successive additions such as the Chandra Mahal and the towering palace of the present day separated by its fortified wall, moat, driveway and the high gateways called ‘Pols’ with symbols of elephants — a mark of victory of the ruling family on them. The architectural styles of these additions are so different from each other that they appear to be built at widely different times.
2. Lake Palace, Udaipur
Lake Palace is not the only place to visit in Udaipur. The city also boasts of other beautiful places like City Palace, Jagdish temple, Saheliyon ki Bari and Lohawat Haveli. But it is the royal ambience of Lake Palace that catches your eye for the first time. However, this abode needs a fair bit of to-and-fro movement and traffic movement on the four roads leading up to it annoying you at every step.
3. Jagmandir, Udaipur
Udaipur’s historic Jagmandir Palace is another must-visit during your boat ride. This 17th-century palace complex is also situated on Lake Pichola and has divisions like the Garden Courtyard, Gul Mahal, Dorakhana, Bara Patharon ka Mahal, Kunwar Pada ka Mahal and Zenana Mahal. There will be several vendors selling all kinds of handicraft items on the way as well as on the lake; don’t forget to bargain and they will accept whatever you settle for.
4. Jagdish Temple, Udaipur
The Indo-Aryan Jagdish Temple in Udaipur was originally constructed by Maharana Jagat Singh between 1719-1749 CE. The temple lies near the City Palace entry point – Badi Pol and is a flight of around 100 steps up to the location from where it is visible. The black stone deity of Lord Vishnu in Panchayatan style (Lord Vishnu enthroned with god Brahma and goddess Saraswati on either side) will awe anyone who visits the place. This idol is said to be 22 feet tall and you will find images of brass Nandi Bull, Garuda and other deities placed all around the temple premises. There are also many other smaller shrines dedicated to Shiva, G
5. Sajjangarh Palace, Udaipur
The Sajjangarh Palace, also known as the Monsoon Palace or Ram Raja Ki Haveli, is located on a hilltop and offers amazing views of Fateh Sagar Lake and the surrounding Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary. This castle-like building is straight out of a fairy tale and is a perfect example of the opulence of the Rajput rulers – the palace was made just to be able to enjoy watching monsoon clouds gather promisingly in the sky!
6. Fateh Sagar Lake, Udaipur
A city of lakes, Udaipur is best known for the sprawling City Palace and luxuriant views of Lake Pichola. Chiefly a winter getaway, it is the serene calm that makes Udaipur one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in India . The largest among the many reservoirs in and around the city is Fateh Sagar Lake, which has an area of 27 acres; and boasts spectacular views with its glassy waters. Unique in its surroundings among lakes, because of its shape like a crown and attractive islands within, Fateh Sagar Lake also provides an opportunity for spotting migratory birds. Boating facilities are available here.

It’s the legend of 16th century when Raja Jagat singh used to rule over Kullu kingdom. It is believed that one day he came to know about the peasant in the region who was possessing the riches of pearls. Raja Jagat Singh became greedy and wanted to own the riches of the peasant and thus ordered the poor peasant to either handover the pearls to the king or get hanged but the irony of situation was that the pearl possessed by the Brahmin was the great wisdom and knowledge, Knowing of the consequences peasant threw himself in the fire and cursed the king that “Whenever you will eat, the Rice will appear like worm and water like blood”. To change his fate Raja was told by the brahmin to go and fetch Raghunath deity from Ayodhya and hence Raja Jagat Singh told one of his brahmin to do the desired work. The Brahmin sneaked into the city and was able to steal the deity of Raghunath but was captured by the local people of the Ayodhya. It is believed that when they were carrying the deity towards Ayodhya the weight of the deity increased manifold but when carried towards Kullu it became light. This Raghunath deity is placed in the rath during the Rath yatra on first and last day of Dussehra and this is how Dussehra in Kullu is celebrated. #photooftheday #photo #photographer #photography #photoshoot #photographylovers #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #traveltechblog #travelblogger #traveltheworld #beautifuldestinations #igers #exploretheworld #himachalpradesh #himalayas #mountains #followme #followforfollowback #instagood #instadaily #instagram #insta #instamood #beautiful #tasveermania (at Kullu - कुल्लू, Himachal Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0vNrtF0TP/?igshid=1jfqqjoiaglyq

She was a good shot and enjoyed many days out on ‘Shikars’. Her Highness was fond of cars and is credited with importing the first W126, a 500 SEL to India which was later shipped to Malaysia. Gayatri Devi had one child, Prince Jagat Singh of Jaipur, late Raja of Isarda, born on 15 October 1949, who was granted his uncles’s (father’s elder brother) fief as a subsidiary title. Jagat Singh was thus half-brother to Bhawani Singh of Jaipur. Gayatri Devi was once included in Vogue magazine’s Ten Most Beautiful Women list. Gayatri Devi started schools for girls’ education in Jaipur, most prominent of which is the Maharani Gayatri Devi Girls’ Public School established in 1943.
