"Khait Parvat" the abode of fairies in Uttarakhand

Khait Parvat -The abode of fairies

Did you ever wish to see a real-life fairy? If your answer is yes then you should know about this wonderful place. 

Uttarakhand a state of India is also known as the "Devbhoomi" land of Gods. The reason behind this name is that there are some of the significant temples and pilgrimage of Hindus. People of Uttarakhand believe in Hindu methodologies. Many people who have traveled to a higher altitude, experienced miracles and encountered high-level energies, especially people who live in the villages that are in the Himalayan foothills.

The place where people still believe that fairies exist is Khait Parvat. It is believed that the goddess fought with two demons "Madu" and 'Kaitab" in this area. The name Khait is derived due to the same incidence and "Parvat" is a Hindi word of Mountain. That is how the name of the place is Khait Parvat. It is located in Tehri Gharwal. One has to trek 14km to reach the Khet Parvat. 

There are two stories associated with this place. 

The first story tells about King Aasha Rawat. One of his wives gave berth to 9 girls. All the girls were very beautiful and grew up faster than their age. They started walking and talking fluently at the age of 2 years. When they turned 12 years old they went up the hill (Khet Khal) and never returned. It's believed that Sem Nagaraja an avatar of Lord Krishna was attracted by their beauty and then they became fairies locally known as Ancharis. 

In the second story, it is believed that Mandodari wife of Ravana (the king of Sri Lanka) had 9 daughters however when Ravana came to know that these girls are inauspicious and will be the reason for his death he threw them in this jungle. Since all the girls were divine they became fairies. 

There is a temple of Goddess. It is believed that these 9 fairies visit every day to worship in this temple. There is no light on the hill and still, people see glimpses of lights on a hill. There is also a separate field entirely for fairies. The villagers sow seeds in that field. When the crop yields it gets magically harvested. The villagers say that the field belongs to the fairies. They take away the wheat from the field to the Kait Parvat. 

In the villages of Uttarakhand, people have mortals build on the ground and use the wooden pestles to grind spices just, as shown in the picture however in Khait Parvat this mortar, is wall mounted. People tell that the fairies take the harvested wheat from the fields to the mountain and grind the wheat to prepare dishes for the goddess. If you visit there you may see wheat fallen on the ground. 

There is a very famous story about Jeetu Bagdwal who was one of the villagers. He was a good-looking and attractive man who was a nature lover. He uses to play the flute. 

Jitu's sister was wedded in a faraway village. Jitu's mother told the family that Jitu's sister had to come back home to do some rituals. 

Jitu was in love with his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law was in the same village where his sister was wedded so Jitu asked his mother if he can go to pick his sister. Since Jitu's mother was aware of this fact she was reluctant to send Jitu. Knowing this Jitu was upset about this and requested his mother to let him go. Eventually, after a lot of requests, his mother agreed to it. Jeetu got ready in his best clothes and started walking towards his sister's village. After walking few miles he sat beneath a tree and started playing the flute. The sound of his flute was so melodious that even the fairies were drawn towards it. Once he stopped playing he saw the 9 fairies standing in front of him. The fairies told Jitu to come along with them. He got petrified and started praying to God. Jitu then denied going with them and told them that he is going to pick his sister. Fairies left him with a promise to take him back on the day he will start plowing in his field to which he agreed.  

The day Jitu started ploying his field became his last day. People say that he was buried in the ground along with the pair of bullocks. 

Don't do this if you visit Khait Parvat. 

1- Don't wear too bright clothes. Especially Red and yellow color. 

2- Don't wear perfume. 

3- Don't play any instrument or loud music.

4- Don't pick up or take away the beaten wheat of the fairies along with you 

It is believed that the fairies get attracted and drawn towards the people who do this. Therefore do this only if you want yourself to be taken away by the fairies :-)
