Light and Sound Show at City Palace


The sound and light show at the city place  made us travel through the history of our country.  Many times hearing about the bravery of our ancestors raised goose bumps in us.   Even with focused dim lighting during the show we could appreciate the eternal beauty of the palace.

A temple built for the use of Pandavas during their stay in here

My earlier blog post was about Arthanaeeswar temple in the small village called Arakkuparamba. There is a anther templei n the next village called mattarakal.   The Shiva Vishnu temple is  situated amongst  groves of banana araicanuts, coconuts etc. The villagers say that the Shiva lingam was built for the pandavas to offer their prayers.  This makes the temple also to be an ancient one dating back to Mahabharata times.   Of course the current temple premises is built only in the last century. I presume that the Vishnu was the later time addition for the benefit of the namboodhiris living here.   In this temple Vishnu is in the form of Vanana, who was supposed to be born in Kerala to conquer Mahaballi.   The beauty of this Diety in the  form of a small child is seen to be enjoyed.  Such a graceful and charm that it makes you rooted to the sannidhanam.

Bawe Wali Mata Temple or Maha kali temple Jammu

  One of the most Powerful temples in Jammu City is this Mahakali temple.  Our cab driver was citing an incident to narrative the Power of the Goddess.   During the 1971  war Pakistan war planes were going to target the bridge across the Tawi River which would mean that the city of Jammu would be totally cut off from rest of the country.   The city people prayed to Maa to save their city.  While the war planes were flying over  the city looking to bomb the bridges all they could see was only river water and no bridge but saw a lady in red saree walking with a lamp in her hand along the banks.  So it seems the planes flew back without targeting the city.   Hearing this we wanted to go and seek the blessings of Maa  Kali.   The temple is situated within the Bahu Fort and hence derives its name Bawe wali (meaning the resident of Bahu fort) Mata Temple.   The devotees are made to walk through  sho...
