A Small Documentary On Kapilash || Dhenkanal || : ( 2018 ) by Dreams2tell
Kapilas is a small mountain range in the Dhenkanal district of the state of Odisha ( India ) . It demarcates the boarder line between the districts of Dhenkanal and Cuttack . The entire mountain range and the regions on it's four sides are covered with dense forests having various kinds of trees and plants . All parts of this jungle near the end of Dhenkanal are known as " Kapilas Reserved Jungle " . We find many mountain peaks in this mountain range . The Kapilas peak is the highest peak among those . It's height is about 2239 feet or say 682 meters . At it's feet lies the temple of the famous holy shrine " Chandra Shekhar " . Many believe this to be the famous living place i.e. Kailas mountain of Lord Shiva and in course of time the word Kailas has undergone changes to become Kapilas . The temple is located above 1500 feet ( 457 meters ) from ground level and on a high land of the peak . It is about 19 km. away from Dhenkanal district head quarter town . A dark peech road runs up to the temple through stiff and dangerous cliffs having almost twelve sudden bends . From the bottom of the mountain up to the temple , there are 1300 foot - steps as an alternative path to move up to the temple . As Kapilas is the abode of Lord Siva, this has been regarded as a great holy pilgrimage among the people of Orissa since many centuries. Detailed descriptions are in Kapila Samhita about this place. According to this treatise this place of pilgrimage is known as Kapilas. It is written in Mahabharat of Sarala Das during fifteenth century that Kailas is Kapilas.The anecdote as per Kapila Samhita runs as follows: “Once the arbitrary king of Lanka was busy in praying Lord Siva in the Himalayas. No boon was granted to him even after his deep, severe and strenuous penance. He became very angry and decided to displace Kailas,the abode of Lord Siva. While carrying Kailas away some portion of the same fell here. Those mountain parts are acknowledged as Kapilas and living place of Lord Siva. Now- a- days the name of the reigning god of Kapilas is widely known as Chandrasekhar.But He is described as Sikhareswar in Kapila Samhita and also in some inscriptions.” The height of the temple of Chandrasekhar or Sikhareswar is about sixty feet (1829 m).The façade of the temple has faced East and the temple has stood on a very narrow plane area. The mountain road and the steps are on its western side. There are an enclosure and a huge gateway on this side of the temple, having two lion statues guarding the temple gateway. This is the only entrance to reach the temple. No such remarkable stone carvings are on the body of the principal temple. On its southern, western and eastern sides one can behold the statues of the deities i.e.; Ganesh, Kartikeya and Parvati respectively.The making styles of these statues are quite marvelous and those are placed on the body of the temple. The servitors mistake the image of the side goddess, Parvati to be Ganga Devi.In front of the main temple we can come across Jagamohan and Bhoga Mandap (an altar) standing erect on pillars without any wall around it. On the western part of Bhoga Mandap there is a statue of bull made of black granite stone and donated by devotees. It has an inscription beneath it transcription of which has been made possible so far. Some say the statue of the bull has been brought in from Bhimnagar.The original statue of bull, however, is placed on a pillar in the middle of Bhoga Mandap.The Siva Linga adorns the inner space of the temple. Two other temples are built for Lord Narayan and Lord Biswanath towards the eastern side of the main temple at a certain height.To reach there some stoe steps are made.The Narayan temple was built by the qeen of the then king of Dhenkanal,Dinabandhu Mahindra Bahadur.But the Biswanath temple (also known as Kashi Biswanath or Bisweswar) is very old.It is presumed that it is as old as Chandrasekhar temple.Fountains run down fom some places near the temples of Narayan and Biswanath.We have learnt from ancient scripts/scriptures that Ganga takes shelter under the nail of right toe of Lord Narayan.To establish this the fountain water has been made skillfully to pass through a small hole/outlet of the right leg of the statue of Lord Narayan.There is Manikarnika Kund (a small stone water tank) in between Narayan temple and Biswanath temple where fountan water is stored.It is considered very pious to bathe there.Water from this tak is being supplied through pipes to nearby Dak Banglow.The fountains flow downwards beside Bhoga Mandap. .

Kapilash Jagar Darshan || Day & Night View || Friday, the 14th of February : 2018 by Dreams2tell
Shivaratri is a festival in the tradition of Hinduisim, which many scholars regard as the oldest living religion. The word Hindu is derived from the Sanskrit term Sindhu (or Indus), which meant river. It referred to people living in the Indus valley in the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism has no founder, one universal reality (or god) known as Brahman, many gods and goddesses (sometimes referred to as devtas), and several scriptures. Hinduism also has no priesthood or hierarchical structure similar to that seen in some other religions, such as Christianity. Hindus acknowledge the authority of a wide variety of writings, but there is no single, uniform canon. The oldest of the Hindu writings are the Vedas. The word "veda" comes from the Sanskrit word for knowledge. The Vedas, which were compiled from ancient oral traditions, contain hymns, instructions, explanations, chants for sacrifices, magical formulas, and philosophy. Another set of sacred books includes the Great Epics, which illustrate Hindu faith in practice. The Epics include the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Bhagavad Gita. The Hindu pantheon includes approximately thirty-three million gods. Some of these are held in higher esteem than others. Over all the gods, Hindus believe in one absolute high god or universal concept. This is Brahman. Although he is above all the gods, he is not worshipped in popular ceremonies because he is detached from the day to day affairs of the people. Brahman is impersonal. Lesser gods and goddesses (devtas) serve him. Because these are more intimately involved in the affairs of people, they are venerated as gods. The most honored god in Hinduism varies among the different Hindu sects. Although Hindu adherents practice their faith differently and venerate different deities, they share a similar view of reality and look back on a common history. Shivaratri is the main festival held in honor of Shiva (or Siva), the Hindu god of destruction and regeneration. According to Hindu teaching, this is the night on Shivaratri which Shiva danced the Tandav, his celestial dance of Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. Throughout India and in other countries where he is venerated, Hindus eat only once on the thirteenth day of Phalguna; after this, they fast in preparation for the Great Night of Shiva, as the festival is also known. It is the sacred duty of every worshipper to keep a vigil throughout the night and to worship him at midnight by offering leaves from the wood-apple or BEL TREE . There is an old Hindu saying that even an intelligent dog will not touch its food on this day. Huge gatherings take place in temples all over India on Shivaratri-even in rural areas, where the bells ring all night and people stay awake by chanting Shiva's name, singing songs about his glory, and recounting his legends. Special celebrations are held at the Shiva shrines in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, and hundreds of thousands of Hindus make the pilgrimage to Pashupatinath Temple in Katmandu, Nepal, for worship, feasting, and ritual bathing in the holy Bagmati River. In Port Louis, Mauritius, wooden arches covered with flowers are carried to the holy lake known as Grand Bassin, to get water with which the images of Shiva can be washed. A large number of fairs are also held on Shivaratri, and bathing in holy tanks or sacred rivers is a common activity. Members of all castes or divisions of Hindu society are allowed to participate in the worship of Shiva. While the wealthy perform elaborate rites that include expensive offerings to Shiva and substantial gifts to the poor, members of the lower castes must content themselves with pouring water on the ShivaLINGAM . The ceremonies surrounding Shivaratri are particularly popular with Hindu women, especially those wishing to become pregnant. Courtesy : http://ift.tt/2H2IWn9
