NARAINI - ALWAR |
|
This is a hot spring
about 69 K.M. south-west of Alwar near Baldeogarh. It is a most
picturesque spot known for tiger beat. A local legend runs that
Naraini was a Women bom in barber's family of Jaipur and married to
a barber at Rajorgarh. The husband died of a Snake bite on way from
her father's house and she asked the cow-herds to collect fuel wood
so that she could became sati. The cow herds promised to do so only
after their cows had quenched their thirst, but the lady told them
not to worry about the water which she prophesied would ensure
naturally. The collected the fuel for the funeral and she became
sati. Since then, it is said, perennial spring flows. A fair is held
every year on Baisakh Sudi 11 which is attended by people of all
castes but congregation of Nais(barbers) is the largest The Nais
attach special importance to the place.
