While the Brahma Kund falling on the route, he stopped by there along with his courtiers and a small battalion who were all on a tour of Saurashtra with Siddharaj. Thirsty he was, Siddharaj took a few sips of water from the Kund and he instantly experienced some changes on his skin. After drinking the water, he felt very pleased and relieved. Dumb struck by this miraculous experience, he thought to testify the water and wished to pour the water on some parts of his body, especially his infected skin which had frightened him as if it was leprosy.

Twice the experience and after a few moments his party also followed Siddharaj. They all drank water from Brahm Kund and took a bath at Brahma Kund. All the others felt great and pleased by experiencing some unexplainable vibrations, while Siddharaj made sure, the space at this place and its water are abnormal and not comprehensible by timid souls such as mortal humans.

He decided to break his tour and arranged to stay at Sihor as his rationale was not allowing him to make an instant judgment. Following a few weeks, it became evident that what he felt and thought about the Brahma Kund and its water was correct. After some time during his stay in Sihor, his regular visits to Brahma Kund and using its water, he found to be recovering completely. Obliged by the blessings of this place and its miracle, he decided to refurbish the place and it’s the Brahma Kund of today which boasts of a renewed architecture (during 12th Century) and unbroken faith.

== Antiquity and early history ==
In recent history, especially post 12th century, Brahma Kund kept finding its reference and mentions citing King Siddharaj Jaisinh. But the fact is Brahma Kund had been an entity from time unknown. There are its references in ], poet ] expresses and explains in his ‘Hari Samhita’ for Lord Krishna had arrived here. “Ain-e Akbari” the history of Akbar, his biographical account and ‘Prabandh Chintamani’ written by Merutung talk about Sihor's Brahma Kund. However, major credits go to Siddharaj Jaisinh for he refurbished the place with utmost dedication and detail.

Since ancient times, the last day of Shraavan, called as 'Bhadarvi Amas' meaning "Bhadrapad Amavasya" is represented by a big festival - Mela at Brahma Kund engaging tens of thousands people, for the reason it has a great religious - spiritual importance on this day.

== Maintenance ==
Periodically across decades, the Brahma Kund undergoes maintenance and conservation, but off late, this place is now craving for great deal of attention and intervention. Archaeology department and local authorities including Municipality-Nagar Panchayat or respective citizens – caretakers need to initiate aggressively for a holistic maintenance, sensible restoration and development of this place.

Interestingly, water in Brahma Kund, its source, quality and consistent level throughout the year, all these have been a mystery all the time. One could hardly find any significant compromise in its characteristics despite its stagnant form and the place being isolated in the interior hill side and despite not so frequently maintained. But now the surroundings have been compromised. In absence of affirming and binding framework of rules & regulations, the area has been encroached and it poses haphazard construction activities and pollution that is attributed by them.

Accumulating bio disposals from the surrounding trees and winds, idols made of plaster of paris which get immersed in the Kund during various festivals-ceremonies, and the materials, artifacts, food offerings, etc. during rituals and Puja, etc., make the subtle energy and a pure space struggling and crying, as the Brahma Kund still accepts everything above to its bottom, and for its holy water to dilute.

== Future of Brahma Kund ==
Brahma Kund is a vista and place worth real worship. This fine medieval architecture has a unique design of steps, small temples, metaphors, motifs and beliefs, idols of deities, amazing stone work, some scientific entities, everything carved within and across the complex. That will be when the authorities and Archaeology department would step in to declare at least 4 km radius surrounding the Brahma Kund, into a Heritage Zone, for protection and conservation of legacy, the Brahma Kund will be revived to last long for the generations to come.

Revision as of 12:35, 5 September 2011


An editor has launched a copyright investigation involving this section. The text under investigation is currently hidden from public view, but is accessible in the page history. Please do not remove this notice or restore blanked content until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk, or volunteer response agent.

The purported copyright violation copies text from http://www.sihor.net/brahma-kund-sihor (Copyvios report); as such, this page has been listed on the copyright problems page.

Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Misplaced Pages's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing (i.e. after 12:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)).

What can I do to resolve the issue?
  • If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Misplaced Pages.
    1. You must permit the use of your material under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
    2. Explain your intent to license the content on this article's discussion page.
    3. To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
    4. Note that articles on Misplaced Pages must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Misplaced Pages.
  • You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain or is already under a license suitable for Misplaced Pages. Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Misplaced Pages:Public domain and Misplaced Pages:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status.
  • Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
    • Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing.)
    • For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
    • It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Misplaced Pages and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
