Namaste 🙏
Hope you all are doing great!!!
First of all, I would like to thank you guys for all the love and support on my last blog. The Sita Ram Vivah Mandap was really peaceful place, and I’m gonna remember my visit to this holy place forever. In this blog, I am going to tell you guys about a small Shiv Mandir that is built outside of the Sita Ram Vivah Mandap but has 12 Shiva Lingams and the depicts all the 12 Jyotirlingams that are present across India. But first, I would highly recommend you guys to check out my last blog as this blog is continuation of the same. I am posting the link to yesterday’s blog below so that you can check that out.

As we were getting out of the Sita Ram Viva Mandap Temple just before the exit Gate, there was this little temple in Orange colour which was being visited by everyone who was getting out.
At first, I thought this is not a temple. This has to be a little construction right outside of the main campus, but as we approached near to it, we saw a priest sitting inside of the temple and everyone who was getting out of the main temple was getting inside to get the best wishes from him.
The priest was distributing the religious and ritual things that you can carry with you to your homes, just like Prasad. He was tying a thread in everyone’s hand, who was visiting him, and was blessing everyone. When I saw him doing that, I got really excited to be inside of the temple and attain his blessings. Not only I was excited to attend his blessing, but also I was excited to see what was inside of the little temple.
When I look closely, there were 12 Sivalingam present inside of the temple depicting all the 12 Maha Jyotirlingam that are present across India. This depicts that you have done all the 12 Jyotirlinga that are present across India in one gohere only. I was really happy to see this here, and I took blessings of the priest before I got out of the temple.
In the photograph above, you can clearly see all the 12 Jyotirlingam that were inside of the temple. The priest tied thread in my hand and gave me his blessings. I was already feeling very peaceful as soon as I got out of that little temple.
I kept this last photograph when I got out of the temple, and before sitting in the dedicated tuk tuk that were assigned for us to get back to our hotel room. We tried to explore the market nearby a little bit.
There were four people, each sitting in every tuk tuk. Me along with my grandparents and my newly made friend were sitting in a single Tuk Tuk. You can see that in the selfie below, which I’m posting.
The festival of colours was being celebrated here in Janakpur that day. I was surprised that the Holi celebrated a day after it is celebrated India in Nepal, and it was the day when the people of Nepal would be celebrating Holi. So there was a great enthusiasm on the streets, and everyone was really excited to celebrate the festival of colours.
We could also spot some people playing Holi and were colourful by the colour that was being applied to them. You can see that in the photograph above, that would also explain why there were white clothes being sold on the market that day.
We were about to reach back to our hotel room now. On our way back, I was not able to capture photographs because people were playing with colours, and I was worried that that would harm my camera, so I kept everything inside and enjoy the view with my eyes.
The above two photographs are the last selfie that I captured inside of the market while getting back to our hotel room. After these selfies, I kept my phone inside of my pocket and waited until we reach to our hotel.
After of 15 minutes, I reached back to my hotel, no matter how hard I tried to avoid the colours that was being flown everywhere in the city that day, my hand got a little colour from somewhere and now I need to change the clothes before we had to move to the lunch inside of the hotel.
Here we were at our hotel and
Was to do lunch, and then check out of the hotel to reach to the Janakpur airport from where we would be flying to the Kathmandu.
Everyone was looking forward to visit Kathmandu and we have completed our journey to the beautiful town of Janakpur and explore this beautiful city for about two days.
This was a little town of Nepal. Now we would get to the capital city of Nepal and would explore that for a couple of days, but before that we went to the restaurant inside our hotel where we had the delicious lunch that was being served to us.
In the photograph of you can see us having lunch in the restaurant after having the fulfilling lunch that was much deserved. We went back to our hotel room to wrap up so that we could get to the Janakpur airport on time.
That’s all for today.
Thanks for passing by.
Peace ☮️
