Hello friend!
Welcome again. I'm so glad that you are here. Today I'm going to share my experience about a trip which is realted to a village of Maharashtra in which home and shopes don't have door and locks. I know if you heard it first time you are amazed, i was also when i heard it first . That's why i plan to visit that place.
We can see there all home have doorframe with curtains not doors. But no one will steal. A story behind it which i will discuss in this post.
The name and location of the village:
The village name is shani siganapur in the ahmadnagar district of Maharashtra.
This village located 900 km. away from the place where we live in gujrat. But we stayed at shirdi at night and went there in the morning.
This divine village situated at 75 km away from shirdi. It took 1 hour 30 minutes to reach there by road.
We can visit shirdi and shani signapur in one day. There are many taxi service available to go there.
What view we enjoy the way to village:
We visited there on last Sunday. Even Saturday consider the best day to worship that God. But we couldn't reach there on Saturday.
That day ( on Sunday) weather was so pleasant. We enjoyed greenery on the whole way. This village is also famous for sugarcane fields.
The way to shani siganpur is covered with these sugarcane field. We saw many sugarcane field while going there. You can see in the above pictures.
We can see lots of people who sell sugarcane juice. The local people use bull to extract juice from the sugarcane instead of Machine. We stopped at one place and enjoy the juice. The juice was so sweet. I also captured the photographs which you can enjoy above .
They hang there this type of swing. All people follow same trand there.
We reached there after one and half hour from shirdi. First we went to a shop which also have no door . Than we buy Prasad basket. The shopkeeper asked first to wash hands and mouth , covered our head and than he described the way to worship the god.
You can see that shop and basket in above pictures.
Why this Village have no doors:
The village is known for its popular temple of shani (Saturn) the hindu planet god. Villagers believe that God shani (saturn) punish anyone who attempt theft.
They believe so much in god and live without any fear. In there home they don't use door and locks. They just used curtain. Even we saw that washroom with no doors 😅 but washroom made with unique pattern.
Lord Shani ths god of Saturn protecting the village. The villagers have faith . That's why this Village have no door and locks.
About the temple:
Temple have no roof
The temple is believed to be a alive temple meaning that the deity still live in the temple icon.
In above pictures you can see a black stone as a temple iocn. This is the self emerged iocn. The icon is the lord Shani. We can see this icon in the open yard without any roof above. This is also a unique point about this temple.
This is really a divine place, we feel so blessed after visiting there. Have you ever been visiting there or heard about it?
Hope you enjoyed that place .
