Bhiltek A place to visit in Amravati
(Best Session Jan to Feb)
How can I forget the place where I spend the most fabulous days of my life with my family.
Ohhh god please bring...those days back.....
Woh papa ke kandhe par baithke mele me ghumna....
Wohhh maa ki hatho se roti khhanna........
Ohhh god bring those days back......
Bhiltek
is
a village in Candur tahsil with 58 houses and a population of 305 as per the
1961 Census. It. has a temple
of Nagoba
It is situated beside
the river Kholad which has its source somewhere in the village Bhankhed. I several time enjoyed bath in the holly river. Actually I dont know swimming but I always enjoyed the session with my father. Thanks to him...
The
temple is a plain cabutara or an elevated platform of cement concrete
about 3.716 sq. metres (40' square), in the centre of which is the Ligna,
sheltered by a single hooded cobra of brass.
Approach can be made by two flights
of stairs built on the western and northern sides respectively. The shrine is
deeply revered and a fair, lasting for a month, is held in the month of Pausa
(about the end of December or beginning of January). It is attended by about
25,000 people. However, the importance of the fair is on the decline. In olden
days it lasted for two and a half months and was attended by not less than
60.000 persons.
It is believed by the people that if a person who is bitten by
a snake burns some incense at the temple with appropriate prayers and swallows
a little of the ashes, he would recover.
I have attended the fair several time with my Parents. Here one can get the the real taste and smell of Amravati's soil. I love the place......
