Aalam Devi - Lasargha, A Fact

"A question on the occasion of Bada Dashain 2071:

Why Bhimsenpate tree in Alam Devi temple?

_______________________________

[Maski Rana Magars have a tradition of being 'original priests' and crocodiles of Gah, Sinjali, Darlami, Somai, Thapa etc. have a tradition of being 'assistant priests' when such original priests are in a state of false sleep; Goddess Mane is the family deity of Gorkhali Shah kings - Why and why not build a Bhimsen leaf tree in 'Alam Devi' temple? A little bit about how the name Alam Devi came to be, how worship is done in Baradshah, will be posted shortly.]

Talking about how the name of the present Alamdevi temple came to be 'Alamdevi temple', it also comes to the point that the same Shah Raja of Nepal, Maharaja Khalak had to establish 'relationship' with the Rajputs of Chittor. Bhupathi Rana, who is said to have fled from Chittor in 1495 BS to escape the onslaught of Mughal Emperor Akbar, is now considered to be the ancestor of the Shah dynasty of Nepal. This is not true as the Mughal emperor Akbar was born in 1542, exactly 47 years after the incident. This phenomenon, which is said to have occurred without human birth, is imaginary. This should be taken as a link in the Shah's attempt to show that he was a descendant of the 'Rajputs' of Chittor.

In any case, the idol of Kulayan Devi carried by the Bhupathi Rana, who is said to have been fleeing for his life, was placed under a Bhimsenpati tree at the place where the present Alam Devi is now. There is a saying that 'Alap Devi' was given the name and 'Alap Devi' was later called 'Alam Devi'.

According to another legend, the 'stone' of the common deity of the migrating Rana Magar and Shah Thakuri was a bit heavy, so when the idol was placed under a Bhimsenpati tree, a temple without a roof was built under it and the goddess was called Alap Devi They started saying 'Alam Devi'.

There is another saying that the name of the temple was changed from 'Arlang' to 'Alam Devi' as the flag was also called 'Arlang' in the Magar language and Bhupati Rana, who is said to have come from Chittor, built a fort or fort there and worshiped his favorite goddess.

The crocodiles still worship the Bhimsenpati tree. On the occasion of Basanta Panchami in Gorkha, this admin himself has worshiped the Bhimsenpati tree many times. There is still a Bhimsenpati tree in the Alam Devi temple. And, there is no roof in the temple because of the belief that the tree should not be cut down and a roof should not be put on the temple of the goddess.

Francis Hamilton is a British scholar who writes that he had no 'relationship' with the Shah of Nepal, Maharaja Khalak and the Rajputs of Chittaur. He lived in Nepal for 14 months between 1802 and 1083. He is the first to write that the Magars and the Shah dynasty belong to the same clan, i.e. the main festivals celebrated in Nepal today: such as Raksha Bandhan or Janai Purnima, Dashain, Tihar, Maghe Sakranti, etc. These festivals are celebrated according to Hindu law and are also given national recognition.

What I want to add here is that Aalam also means World in Urdu, whose translation in Nepali could be "Jagat ko Devi'.   Also the title Shah itself is an Urdu word.

Do these things make any sense.

An interesting Article from Facebook in The Magars: Their History, Language and Culture

It simply came to our notice then

In the year 1481, Shri Shake killed the Khadka (Magar) king of Gorkha and Dravya Shah laid the foundation of the Shah dynasty.

(Wednesday, September 24, 1616, the eighth day of the month)

"There was a Shadka king in Gorsha. His injustice and injustice were also very much in the mind of the unborn king of Bhaya. Ganesh Pandey understood the intentions of the people and made some requests. The Kshatriya clan was born. I begged and begged for more. This is how the industry wants to be done. The people of Bhava Havas Gorsha, who are devoted to some deities, begged me to help them and went to Gorsha. They wanted to pay homage to Narandas Arjyal at Chepya Ghat. Ganesh Pandey started consulting with the Magars in Gorsha. After the advice was blocked, he did not run here at once. It would be better to run here by using force. Others So 1. It's only been 2 years. The king of today is so strong that he is afraid. 10. It's been 12 years. There's a lot of deception going on and on and on. The force increases a lot after the liglig arm. It would be easy to come here from there. Ganesh Pandey has indicated that. The same advice came to Lee Narandas Arjyal and begged for bed. That's what the industry is all about. On the day of the vaccination, the coat was handed over. After that, Gorsha began to rule in the throne. Even the man from Gorsha could take Ganesh Pandey by the hand. At the same time, Raginas Deshi fought for fifteen days from Shri Drabya Shah. Shadka Kayet was not afraid. On the night of the fifteenth day, Ganesh Pandey Panth Arjyal went with all the soldiers and performed Deep Ganesh Pooja. Pandey Panth Aryal Shadal Shas Magar all five started talking to Khadka Raja but did not get along and then Sayet also came. Shri 5 Drabya Shah was killed and all the eleven Shadka kings were killed with their swords. From Taha, Sriganesha Pooja, Sakal Mangal, Brahmins, etc., all five sat in auspicious moments and ascended the throne. After Waha, King Mari of the upper coat handed over the upper coat. In the year 1481, Shri Shake, Shri 5 Maharaja Drabya Shah reigned on the throne of Gorsha.

Note: Some words are currently in common form and meaning

1) Gorsha = Gorkha

2) Shadka = Khadka

3) Lots = lots

4) Deshda = seeing

5) Shed = sorry

6) Purashcharan = work of sacrificing

7) To do = to do

8) Kastarah = how

9) Bhakti Bhava = Bhakti Bhava

10) Kayet = imprisonment

11) Shadal = Khanal

12) Shas = Khas

13) Returned = Returned

14) Sayet = Sait

15) Gyaar = Gayar

16) On the throne = on the throne (on the throne)

17) Upper Coat = There are 3 coats in Gorkha. The present Gorkha Durbar is considered as 'Majh Kot'. There is a 'lower coat' to the southwest of Gorkha Durbar. In all three coats there are Magar priests.

It is also written in the upper coat that 'Ghale Gurung Raja' was there. In this genealogy, 'Khadka Raja' is not referred to as 'Khadka Magar'. However, it is clear that the king was not a 'Khadka Kshatriya' by writing that the low caste king was afraid in Gorsha. Also, "Kshatriya king is not from Kastara and Kshatriya king is from Manula." It also means that 'Khadka Raja' was a 'drunken king'. For the same reason, historians have written 'Khadka Raja' of Gorkha as 'Khadka Magar Raja'.

This means that even before Dravya Shah won the Liglig, there was a 'tika practice'. But it is not clear whether the tika was given to Dashain or not. It is not clear on what occasion or on what occasion such red, black or white tika was given. And, it's not just a decade of protest or support, it's just another post about what is or is written in a historical document. "
