Bhuj : This year, the festival of Uttarayan in the border district of Kutch was not just about colorful skies but also about profound spiritual devotion and grand culinary indulgence. The auspicious alignment of Ekadashi with Makar Sankranti added a unique layer of piety, leading to widespread acts of charity across the region.
A Day of Charity and Compassion
Kutch’s tradition of 'Jiv-daya' (compassion for all living beings) was at its peak. Since early morning, residents visited Gaushalas and Panjrapols to distribute green fodder and ladoos to cows.
- Helping the Needy: Charitable organizations and individual donors distributed nutritious food, warm clothing, and essential items to the underprivileged.
- Spiritual Observance: Many devotees observed the Ekadashi fast, visiting temples in Bhuj, Mandvi, and Anjar for special prayers, bhajans, and seeking blessings from priests.
The Grand Feast: Lakhs Spent on Undhiyu and Sweets
While the mornings were dedicated to devotion, the afternoons and evenings were all about the 'Kutchi Swad.' This year, Kutch residents devoured Undhiyu worth lakhs of rupees. Famous sweet shops and farsan stalls in Bhuj, Gandhidham, and Anjar saw massive crowds and long queues.
