10 Years of Haider: How ‘Bismil’ sparked a tourism boom at Martand Sun Temple; haunting song from Shahid Kapoor-starrer also holds a Sanjeev Kumar connection

The acclaimed film Haider (2014) completed 10 years on October 2. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu and Kay Kay Menon, it is considered one of the finest films by director Vishal Bhardwaj. It is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello and is set in Kashmir where a young student goes on a path of self-destruction after his father is murdered. One of the most memorable parts of the film is when Shahid Kapoor performs the haunting song ‘Bismil’. The song was shot at Martand Sun Temple in Kashmir and thanks to this film, this historical place became widely popular among tourists. It’s a great example of how film tourism can impact tourism positively.

10 Years of Haider: How ‘Bismil’ sparked a tourism boom at Martand Sun Temple; haunting song from Shahid Kapoor-starrer also holds a Sanjeev Kumar connection

This piece of information was shared by Vishal Bhardwaj when he attended the Tourism Development Enclave in Srinagar earlier this year. Along with Vishal, prominent film personalities like Imtiaz Ali, Kabir Khan and Sanjay Suri also graced this event. Here, Vishal Bhardwaj revealed that ‘Bismil’ led to a spike in the footfalls at Martand Sun Temple. The filmmaker further said that the increase in tourist activity prompted the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) to remove encroachments from the site.

The Martand Sun Temple is located around 10 km away from the town of Anantnag in Kashmir and was constructed in the eighth century BC.

‘Bismil’ was penned hauntingly by Gulzar and interestingly, this is the second song of the acclaimed lyricist to be shot in Martand Sun Temple. His much loved song ‘Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa Toh Nahi’ from his directorial venture Aandhi (1975), featuring Suchitra Sen and Sanjeev Kumar, was incidentally also shot in the same place.

Coming back to 'Bismil', the song has also been loved for the thought behind it. Vishal Bhardwaj, in a recent interview with The Times of India, revealed his inspiration behind the visuals of the track, “We created this song like a mousetrap where Shahid performs a play within a play. I wanted to create our own ‘Ek Hasina Thi Ek Deewana Tha’ moment in my way for Hamlet (laughs). Karz (1980) had a similar situation where Rishi Kapoor performed in front of Simi Garewal about the murder.”

‘Bismil’ helped choreographer Sudesh Adhana win the National Award. On this, Vishal said, “I used long, oversized puppets by Dadi Pudumjee, a great puppeteer, and he introduced me to Sudesh. I worked with them for two months in Paris, and right after that, I started shooting Haider. I brought all the sensibilities I learned during the opera, working with Dadi Pudumjee and Sudesh. It was so unconventional, so un-Bollywood-like. I'm saying this and I belong to Bollywood. And Sudesh won a National Award for that choreography.”

The song has been sung by Sukhwinder Singh. In The Times of India interview, Vishal Bhardwaj revealed, “Sukhwinder ko bahut khula gaane ki aadat hai - he's used to improvise a lot - but I told him, 'Is gaane mein track pe gaana padega, this is like an opera. We are telling a story in it'. Itna khoobsurat Gulzar sahab ne likha hai. I had only given him the phrase ‘Bismil Bismil Bulbule Bismil’, and from that, he wrote an entire epic. He’s a master.”

The Martand Sun Temple, Kashmir

Dedicated to Lord Surya, Hinduism's principal sun god; Surya Dev is also recognized through his Sanskrit name Martand.

It was made by King Lalitaditya in around 5th Century A.D. and it was destructed by Muslim ruler Sikander Butshikan, under the advice of Sufi preacher Mir Muhammad Hamadani. It is believed that the was so strongly built that it took many days for its destruction.

The temple has a colonnaded courtyard, with its primary shrine in its center and surrounded by 84 smaller shrines, stretching to be 220 feet long and 142 feet broad total and incorporating a smaller temple that was previously built.

The primary shrine is located in a centralised structure (the temple proper) that is thought to have had a pyramidal top - a common feature of the temples in Kashmir. Various wall carvings in the antechamber of the temple proper depict other gods, such as Vishnu Ji and river goddesses, such as Mata Ganga and Mata Yamuna, in addition to the sun-god Surya Dev.

Why Is Kuldaivat Tak Significant? Discover Its Types and Their Roles

Kuldaivat or Kuladevata, Kulaswami or Kulaswamini refers to the specific deity worshiped by a particular family lineage, following a tradition that has been passed down through generations. This specific deity is regarded as the family deity or Kuladevata of that household. Just as each village has its own Gramadevata or village deity, every family lineage has a specific Kuladevata. The family worships this deity on all auspicious occasions, and there is a tradition of offering “Mahanivedya” (a grand offering) to the family deity on certain designated days. This practice is referred to as “Kuladharma.”

In Hinduism, it is a tradition to begin any auspicious event by first worshipping Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. After that, we remember our family deity (Kuldaivat) and perform their worship through the sixteen-step ritual (Shodashopachara). We then express our desires and wishes in front of them.

Kuldaivat refers to the deity that protects the family lineage, or Kuladevata. The traditional knowledge about these family deities has been passed down from our ancestors and will continue to do so for generations. Naturally, one may wonder about the origin of the Kuldaivat — when and how it originated. If we carefully examine our lineage (Kula) and clan (Gotra), we find that our ancestors were likely sages (Rishis). Our Kula and Gotra are named after these sages. For example, Koundinya, Jamadagni, Vashishta, Makadeya, Bharadwaj, Agastya, Pulastya, Vibhāndik, Parāshar, Kashyapa, and so on. These sages used to reside in forests, in their respective ashrams.

Although the sages considered the five elements (Panchamahabhutas) as forms of God, they also worshiped certain deities as invisible powers. Over time, these deities came to be regarded as the family deities (Kuldaivat) of specific lineages. To bring these deities into a tangible form, they began carving idols in pentagonal stones, which they would then worship. Gradually, these stone-carved idols were consecrated (Pranpratishtha) in temples. Meanwhile, in home shrines, the deities were represented through metal idols for daily worship.

Along with the creation of idols, the tradition of building shrines or sanctuaries (Tak) for the family deities (Kuldaivat) also began. These shrines were typically pentagonal in shape, though their sizes varied based on individual customs and were installed in home temples. Each family has its own distinct Kuldaivat or Kuladevata. For instance, deities like Malhari Martand (Khandoba) or Bhairoba are considered the Kuldaivat of the four varnas. Khandoba is especially revered as a family deity across various social classes, including Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and others.

Bhairoba or Bhairavnath is also considered an incarnation of Lord Shiva. He is known by many names, such as Bhairoba, Bhairudev, and Bhairi Bhavani. In this context, “Bhairi” refers to Shiva (Shankar), and “Bhavani” refers to Goddess Bhavani of Tuljapur. This represents the union of the family deity (Kuldaivat) and the family goddess (Kulaswamini). In addition to this, some families also have shrines (Tak) dedicated to their village deity (Gramadevata), protector deity (Rakshak), and ancestral forefathers (Mul Purush).
