#Day2: #narmadaparikrama 20th
Nov 2018 – Omkareshwar to Dediapada (400 km) -
Got up at 5 am and as per rule
took water from Gomukh and mixed it with water from Narmada river and did
Sankalp pooja at Gomukh ghat. After that I started my journey at 7:45 am from
Omkareshwar. For this parikrama, throughout journey one needs to keep this
mixed water with himself and in any condition should not cross river. Even one
can’t go on any island. I took halt at Raj Ghat, Barwani. From there went to Bawangaja and visited
famous Jain pilgrim centre Jain Tirthankara Adinatha, the statue is 84 feet
high and was created in the 12th century. Road after that went thru dense
forest and is in bad condition, which can be only taken by two wheeler or by
foot. Road is also tough for 2 wheeler. I reached to Shada at 3:04 pm and
filled fuel. From there went to Kashi Vishwanath temple, Prakasha. There are
many temples as well. From there I reached to Dediapada at 6 pm. Since no
hotels were there I went to Govt. rest house but there also no room was there.
So finally went to Jalaram Ashram which came out to be built for people doing
Narmada Parikrama. It has one hall and all needs to sleep on the floor. It
provides stay and food for free. I met 5-6 other people who were also doing
Parikrama by foot. It was good experience for me.
