About Patania Hatu
In this village there is a lake which is link with peroowaghagh. Yearly the deuta (goddess) wish to visit the village.
The ponds/lake has tremendous story... in ancient time the Bhengraj
family daughter was washing the cloth at the Lake. Their she saw a lotus
flower in a water which was extremely beauties, she want to plug but
which was so far to reach. At last she decide to get inside the water,
when she got nearer and nearer, the water come to her chest level but when she plug it, she was sink into the water.
No one knows that where she is gone away, However the cloth what she
was washing it was laying beside the lake. Her parent search every where
in the jungle but nor their they could see her leg mark in the jungle..
at last they thought that it was taken by the beast or tiger. They stop
searching in the jungle however the her parent and family was worried
about her. After a few days in his father dream one person come and said
that i'm a person who took your daughter for my wife. So, we will be
visiting tomorrow. The next day they were expecting the person will come
with dholak and mandra with many people, but it was not seem to be
that. What they saw is that one cock is in front, followed by many
animals, behind the animals they saw their daughter and some person
coming with her.
All the animal eat and drink at the Lake till
three days. All elder family members they sit in meeting regarding her
dowry (daam). At last the damat said i don't have any money. So, i can
give my animal as dowry for your daughter...when her father saw the
animal he said "what can i do with this animal neither would understand
my language nor he can work in my paddy field (ye janwar kya karega, na
hal jod sakta hai or na hi mera bhasa samach sakta hai, mere kis kam ka
nahi). He rejected the offer for her daughter dowry.... he said "I will
not take anything from you". But his son in law was so unhappy then
while leaving the village he left one animal as dowries.... that animal
was unique ....... till 1960s... it wish to rain for seven days and
seven ngiht but now... with some mistaken by the villagers it's rain
only three days and nights...
In past time the idol (deuta)
wish give to each to everyone who doesn't have any thing to eat.
Everyone did ask to him and return him as he gives... But one day one of
the villager give him Godha dhan (black rice) instead of red rice. The
deuta got angry saying that i'm giving you good good rice but your
returning and giving me burn rice. From this day onward i will not give
to you any more.. till today it was stopped.
People have listen different story from different people with different angle, thought the same story but different views.
... to be continue...
