Sir Prabhakar's act.

Sir Prabhakar is qualified 'sixty+ years old' therefore has a way of losing/misplacing things. But this story has nothing to do with his frequent misplacing of things but mention was necessary as the evidence of his act is locked in his camera and he has lost/misplaced the packet of accessories including USB cables therefore those pictures cannot be put up here for every one to see.


Sir Prabhakar is a religious person; that would be an understatement, he is actually very religious person who would not travel on 'Tuesday' to Badolgaon under any circumstances. Sir Prabhakar's 'समधी' is also a religious person, as religious persons go they have all sorts of 'Murtis'  in their home. His समधी happened to have a large idol of Lord Shiva, Parvati and child Ganesh in his home. Someone cast doubt in his mind that such a large idol is not allowed in home unless daily morning and evening puja offered to the deity. Doubt is bad business, it really creates that lurking fear of something wrong therefore makes a fellow restless. Sir Prabhakar comes to his rescue, offers to find proper place for the lord in his village temple where daily morning and evening Puja will be offered. His समधी is relieved and in appreciation calls finest carpenters to pack the lord in as comfortable a box as possible. Unfortunately Lord isn't amused in His claustrophobic box, in display of His ire refuses to occupy boot of Sir Prabhakar's car. So, Lord is taken out of the claustrophobic box and placed in the boot of car nicely padded for comfort, there is apparent all round sigh of relief at lord relenting and occupying His temporary station.

All this happened on a dreary hot summer Sunday, Sir Prabhakar is uncomfortable with lord occupying boot of his car so decides to hurry to his village and handover lord to temple for his permanent resting place. Unfortunately he had business to attend to on Monday, like having his Cholesterol and other dangerous chemicals in blood counted by a reputed pathologist therefore visit is postpones to Wednesday ( as already told Sir Prabhakar refuses to carry lord anywhere on a Tuesday)            


Eventually Lord Shiva, His consort Parvati and Child Ganesh, with all the necessary puja and 'प्राण प्रतिष्ठा'  are placed behind the perennial 'Shivling' in village temple. Some pictures captured in author's camera ( as laready explained real images and videos are captured in Sir Prabhakar's JVC VIdeocam but Sir Prabhakar, being 'सठिया गये' has lost the accessories including USB cable etc so that those pictures are locked there for a while.


Some Tid bits..


Sir Prabhakar has a remedy for finding misplaced thing's( which he does quite frequently) He ties and additional knot in his 'नाडा' of his pajama and bingo, the lost things are found. Perhaps it is time for him to tie a knot in his 'नाडा'.........

  You would think this is unusual temple with two triangular turrets pointing to heaven, actually there are two temples but due to unusual angle of photograph the one behind which is smaller has completely covered by the one in front. Lord Shiva brought by Sir Prabhakar' is placed in the smaller temple. Even though the temple is small but it s exclusive to Lord Shiva while the one in sight is shared by three deities ...  

Lord waiting to be placed inside the temple. A bag full of 'अनाज '' with open mouth rests there through the day and night as part of the ritual......

Not a glossy picture but this is all author have for now. Standalone temple of Lord Shiva.
