Welcome to this spiritual and adventurous journey with me (Ameya A. Deshpande) – The Narmada Parikrama (circumambulate Narmada)

Day 2 – 24th January 2011

|| नर्मदे हर ||

Date : 24th January 2011
Start : Omkareshwar (Madhya Pradesh)
End  : Badwani
Distance : 182 km
After completing the 'Sankalpa' pooja at Omkareshwar we left for our next halt , Badwani.
Route :- Omkareshwar - Sanawad - Bedia - Khargon - Julbania - Badwani.

The road was quite good


Bedia is 4th largest red chilli producer...the whole land was completely red covered with chillies left for drying.









Some 11km after Bedia there is a small village named 'Uun'.


We saw a very old 'Hemadpanthi' Shiv temple.It was in quite a broken state








We reached Badwani by 5pm.







At Badwani we went to see Raj Ghat on the banks of river narmada.

The river bank here is not so clean.











There are temples of Ekmukhi Dutta (एकमुखी दत्त) and






Panchamukhi Ganesha (पंचमुखी गणपती ).

Had a quite pleasant evening on the banks of Narmada.
Overnight stay was in a Gurudwara (temple of Sikh)

  5. Dear Sir,Narmade Har..
    Sorry that I could not get your name on the blog, It is great that you became the modern Shravan Kumar by taking your parents for the Naramda Parikrama. I am planning to do the parikrama Narmada Ma willing. If I am driving the car myself how can I transport the dar from Kathpor to Mithitalai? and also at Amarkantak? Can you please guide me? You can reply to me on sghaveri@yahoo.com from Mumbai
