Harahi Lake

Harahi Lake (Hindi/Devanagari: हराही पोखर) is located near Darbhanga Railway Station, Darbhanga District, Bihar, India. There are two other lakes, Ganga Sagar Lake and Dighi Lake, which are situated in a line, with a drive passing from one to the other, and their united length is 6,000 feet. The Ganges Sagar Lake is the largest lake among these three. Its most distinguishing feature is the many large tanks, which give it a beautiful appearance during the rains. Harahi being 1,600 feet in length and 1,000 feet in width; Dighi 2,400 feet in length and 1,200 feet in width; the Ganga Sagar 2,000 feet length and 1,000 feet width. History It has been conjectured that these were excavated in order to secure raised ground for soldiers' quarters, this theory resting on the belief that the town was once a Musalman cantonment. Legend Local tradition holds that in the time of Raja Siva Singh, a fisherwoman was on her way to market, with a basket of fish on her head and accompanied by her daughter-in-law. A kite from a neighboring tree pounced down and carried away a fish from the basket. The daughter-in-law began to laugh and the Raja saw them arguing as he sat at his window. He sent for them and asked the younger woman the cause of her unseasonable laughter, but she begged to be excused, saying that if she told her story it would be certain death to her. The Raja's curiosity being roused, he insisted on hearing her reason. "In the reign of the king Yudhishthira," said the younger fisherwoman, "I was a kite. During the war of the Mahabharata, I carried away the arm of a woman, with a golden bracelet weighing 80 maunds (1 maund = 37.3242 Kg), and brought it here and ate it. I laughed at the thought of the petty greed of the puny kites of the present time, who do not mind pouncing down on a paltry fish." Saying this, she expired. The Maharaja, curious to find out the truth of the story, ordered a series of tanks to be dug in the places pointed out. At last, his perseverance was rewarded by finding the skeleton of the arm, as well as the golden bracelet; and so the tank in which they were found was called Harahi or the Bone tank. References

Vaidyanath

Vaidyanath es uno de los doce jyotirlingas, lugares sagrados principales dedicados a Shivá. Este lugar se lo disputan tres localidades de la India: el templo de Vaidianath Yiotir-linga, en Deoghar, estado de Jharkhand; el pueblo de Baijnath, en Himachal Pradesh, y la ciudad de Parli, en Maharashtra. El problema se encuentra en los versos del Shivá-purana que hacen referencia a este lugar, de difícil comprensión. Suele aceptarse sin embargo, que el más probable es el primero, que se encuentra en Dehogar, y es al que hacemos referencia aquí. El templo que se encuentra en Deoghar, al sudoeste de la estación de Keeul, en la línea férrea Patna-Calcuta, es un complejo que consiste en el templo principal de Baba Vaidyanath, donde se encuentra el yiotirlinga, y otros 21 templos en un espacioso recinto. El templo es visitado cada año por cerca de un millón de peregrinos. Es famoso por la mela o reunión del mes hindú de Shraavana, entre julio y agosto. En ese momento, se pueden reunir aquí entre 7 y 8 millones de personas que traen agua del Ganges, recogida en Sultangunj, a más de 100 km de Deoghar. La leyenda Se dice en el Shivá-purana que el rey demonio Rávana intentó engañar a Shivá para convertir su reino de Sri Lanka en invencible, llevándose allí un lingam desde el monte Kailash para que Shiva fuera con él. Los demás dioses no estuvieron de acuerdo con este plan. En el camino, Rávana tuvo una necesidad, y buscó a alguien para que le sostuviera el lingam. En esas, apareció Ganesha, que lo agarró y se las ingenió para dejarlo en el suelo, de donde Rávana no fue capaz de moverlo de nuevo. No obstante, el demonio empezó a adorar a Shivá inmediatamente en ese lugar, y le ofreció sus diez cabezas, una a una. Agradecido, Shivá descendió a la Tierra y sanó a Rávana. Al actuar como un médico, se hace referencia a él como vaidhia, que significa ‘curandero’. El nombre de este templo deriva del aspecto de Shivá como sanador. Otra leyenda cuenta que Vaidyanath es uno de los 52 templos de SalSati, los Shakti Pitha (śakti pita). Se dice que aquí yace el corazón de la diosa.
