Bharat ki dharti par, itihas ki kai kahaniyan bikhri padi hain. Kuch kahaniyan hum sab jaante hain, aur kuch Sandur State ki tarah, samay ki gehraiyon mein chhipi rehti hain. Aaj, aaiye, hum aapko le chalte hain Karnataka ke is aitihasik princely state ke safar par, ek aisi jagah jahan virasat, sanskriti, aur pragati ka anokha sangam dekhne ko milta hai.
The Glorious Beginnings of Sandur
Har mahan kahani ki ek shuruaat hoti hai. Sandur State ki neev 1713 mein Maratha mool ke Sidhojirao Ghorpade ne rakhi thi. Unka vansh Sisodia Rajputs se judta tha, jisse unki shaan aur virasat aur bhi gehri ho jaati hai. Ghorpade shasak sirf yoddha hi nahi, balki kushal prashasak bhi the. Unhone is kshetra ke vikas mein ek ahem bhumika nibhayi, jisse Sandur ek samriddh rajya bana.
Yeh rajya Sandur ke pahadon ke beech basa tha, jisse ise na sirf ek strategic suraksha milti thi, balki prakriti ka bharpoor aashirvaad bhi. Yahan ki lohe ki khadanen (iron ore mines) iski arthik shakti ka ek bada strot thi.
A Legacy of Progressive Thinking and Social Harmony
Sandur State ki sabse khaas baat uski pragatisheel soch thi. 19th aur 20th sadi mein, jab desh mein kai tarah ki kuritiyan thi, Sandur ke shasakon ne samajik sudhar ka bigul phoonka. Unhone kuch aise kadam uthaye jo us samay ke liye krantikari the:
- Sabke Liye Mandir ke Dwaar: Sandur un pehle rajyon mein se ek tha jahan mandiron ke darwaze har jaati ke liye khol diye gaye the. Yeh ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’ ki bhavna ka ek adbhut udaharan tha.
- Chhuachhut ka Ant: Unhone untouchability yaani chhuachhut ko gair-kanooni ghoshit kar diya, jo manavta ki disha mein ek bada kadam tha. Aisi soch hamari sanskriti ka mool hai, jahan har insaan ko samman milna chahiye.
- Shiksha par Zor: Sabke liye shiksha ke dwar khole gaye, jisse samaj ke har varg ko aage badhne ka avsar mila. Inhi karnon se, us samay ke Congress neta bhi Sandur ke shasakon se prabhavit the.
Political Journey and Integration with India
Sandur ka itihas kai utaar-chadhav se bhara hai. 1776 se 1790 tak yeh Mysore Samrajya ka hissa raha, aur fir 1817-1818 mein kuch samay ke liye Maratha shasan mein wapas aaya. 1818 mein, yeh British sanrakshan mein ek princely state ban gaya. Azaadi ke baad, 10 August 1947 ko Raja Yeshwantrao Ghorpade ne Bharat mein vilay ke patra par hastakshar kiye, aur 1949 mein Sandur Madras Presidency ka hissa ban gaya. Aakhirkar, 1953 mein, yeh Mysore State (aaj ka Karnataka) ka abhinn ang ban gaya.
Preserving Heritage: From Palaces to Puja Rooms
Sandur ki shaan ka prateek, Shivavilas Palace, 1940 mein bankar taiyaar hua. Yeh mahal aaj bhi us daur ki bhav्यता aur rajparivar ki kalatmak ruchi ki kahani sunata hai. Aaj yeh ek hotel aur museum ke roop mein hamare saamne hai, jahan purani vastuon, vintage caron aur itihasik dastavezon ko sanjoya gaya hai.
Yeh virasat ko sanjone ki parampara hi hai jo humein apni jadon se jode rakhti hai. Jaise Sandur ne apni sanskriti ko bachaye rakha, waise hi hum apne gharon mein, apne puja sthalon mein apni paramparao ko zinda rakhte hain. Aur is nek kaam mein poojn.in aapka sacha saathi hai. Hum aap tak pahunchate hain 100% authentic puja samagri aur sanskritik vastuon, taaki aapki aastha aur parampara hamesha shuddh aur atoot rahe.
Common Curiosities about Sandur State
Aksar logon ke mann mein Sandur ke baare mein kuch sawal hote hain. For instance, many people wonder about its governance structure. Sandur State ko Ghorpade parivar dwara shasit kiya jaata tha, jinka mukhya dhyan kanoon-vyavastha aur kshetriya samriddhi par tha. Unki shasan pranali ne hi is rajya ko itna viksit aur shant banaya.
Ek aur baat jo log jaanna chahte hain, woh hai iska sthaniye sanskriti mein yogdaan. Sandur ke shasakon ne kala, shiksha aur sthapatya kala ko bharpoor sanrakshan diya. Unhone sthaniye tyoharon aur dastkari ko badhava diya, jisse is kshetra ki sanskritik virasat aur bhi samriddh hui. Yadi aap bhi apne ghar mein aisi hi kalatmak aur pavitra vastuon ko sthan dena chahte hain, toh hamare culturally significant items ka collection zaroor dekhein.
A Timeless Legacy
Sandur State ki kahani sirf ek rajya ki kahani nahi hai, yeh drishti, sahas aur sanskriti ke samman ki kahani hai. Yeh humein yaad dilati hai ki kaise hamare purvajon ne aadhunik soch ke saath paramparaon ko nibhaya. Aaj bhi, Sandur apni prakritik sundarta aur aitihasik dharohar ke liye jaana jaata hai, jo itihas premiyon aur paryatakon ko apni ore aakarshit karta hai. Aaiye, apni is amulya virasat ko jaanein, samjhein aur is par garv karein.
