|| नर्मदे हर ||

Date : 25th January 2011
Start : Badwani
End  : Shahada
Distance :  166 km

Stay at Badwani in the Gurudwara was a nice one.It was 1st time I was in a Gurudwara. It was clean and peaceful.
We also attended the evening prayer there.
Then early morning started from Badwani.

Around 10km from Badwani there is
a place called Bawan Gaj (बावन गज ).

 

There is a 84 feet tall idol of Jain lord Adinath.

 Quite a beautiful place to visit with multicoloured

 (बोगनवेल) flowers blossmed.

Our today's rout was Badwani - Shahada Naka - Niwali - Khetia - Shahada.

Some patch of the road was extremely bad and at times drove at snails pace.

By noon we parked near a small rivlet to cook food

 (चुलीवर जेवण)

By afternoon reached Prakasha which is a religious place in Nardurbar district.

Here is a Shiv temple which is also known as
Dakshin Kaashi (दक्षिण काशी). Also Pushpadanteshwar (पुष्पदंतेश्वर) temple.

It is believed that whoever does Kaashi Yaatra (काशी यात्रा) completes it by finally visiting these 2 temples.

There is also a 27 gate dam built on the river here. At Prakasha it is a sangam of 3 rivers (त्रिवेणी संगम) Taapi, Pulinda and Gomati.

Overnight stay was at Shahada at Jain palace.
