1111-Meter Turban Draped on Shri Manshapurna Hanuman in Grand Procession
Shriji Dr. Lakshyaraj and Maharaj Bhawar Haritraj Graced the Maha Aarti
Udaipur – In a magnificent display of devotion on the occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav, a 1111-meter-long traditional turban (pag) was ceremoniously draped on Shri Manshapurna Hanuman at the historic Badnor ki Haveli Temple. The celebration, organized by Shri Manshapurna Mitra Mandal, began with early morning rituals including a sacred dugdhabhishek using 501 liters of milk, followed by panchamrit abhishek and rudrabhishek, all performed with traditional Vedic procedures. The deity was adorned in divine and resplendent attire.
Massive Devotee Turnout for Kalash and Turban Yatra
The Mitra Mandal’s patron, Bhupesh Mehta, shared that the day commenced with a grand Kalash Yatra and Pag Yatra. A child dressed as Lord Hanuman led the procession seated on a golden chariot, drawing large crowds eager to witness the spectacular 1111-meter pag. Devotees welcomed the procession with showers of flower petals, creating a festive and spiritually charged atmosphere.
Turban Draped Amidst Loud Chants of Victory
Mitra Mandal President Rajesh Toshniwal mentioned that the pag yatra traveled through Udaipur’s inner city before arriving at the temple. A thrilling akhada (wrestling) performance along the route captivated onlookers. Once the procession reached the temple premises, chants of “Prabhu Ram ki Jai Ho” filled the air. The symbolic pag was then reverently draped on the idol of Shri Manshapurna Hanuman amidst euphoric chants.
56 Bhog and Maha Aarti Marked Evening Celebrations
As per Mandal in-charge Praveen Bairagi, from 4 PM onward, 56 varieties of delicacies prepared over seven days by 101 chefs were ceremoniously offered to the deity. Temple priest Pawan Maharaj informed that a special Maha Aarti was performed at 7:15 PM, in the divine presence of Shriji Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar and Maharaj Kumar Bhawar Haritraj. A grand welcome was extended to both dignitaries by the Mitra Mandal. The air reverberated with fervent chants of Jai Shri Ram and Jai Shri Hanuman during the aarti.
Mahaprasadi Served to Over 30,000 Devotees
As is tradition, the Mandal organized a Mahaprasadi at Hemraj Rashtriya Vyayamshala, which saw over 30,000 devotees partake in the divine offering.
A Thousand Volunteers Behind the Grand Event
Nearly 1000 volunteers from the Mandal worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the event. Separate teams handled arrangements for Chhappan Bhog, Mahaprasad, Maha Aarti, Kalash Yatra, and Shobhayatra. The evening Bhajan Sandhya featured devotional performances by Shreya Paliwal, Sangeeta Suthar, Sultan Singh Rathore, and Ishwar Das, who enthralled the crowd late into the night with soulful renditions in praise of Lord Ram and Shri Hanuman.
