Narsinh Mehta: The OG Rebel Bhakt Who Sang His Way to Divinity | Nikhil Pattani

Before Bhajans became mainstream, Narsinh Mehta was dropping lyrical bombs in Gujarat, shaking up the spiritual scene with his bhakti-fueled verses. A 15th-century poet-saint, he didn’t just sing praises of Krishna—he lived them, dancing his way through social norms like they were mere speed bumps.

Born into a Brahmin family, but breaking every caste barrier with his Vaishnav Jan To anthem, Mehta made devotion sound dangerously cool. Legend has it, Krishna himself covered his debts (talk about divine banking!), proving that his poetry wasn’t just words—it was magic.

Outcast, misunderstood, but eternally vibing with the divine—Mehta wasn’t just a poet, he was a movement. His words still hit different, centuries later.

Junagadh: Where History Roars and Mysticism Whispers

Junagadh isn’t just another dot on Gujarat’s map—it’s a wild mix of history, spirituality, and raw adventure. Guarded by the mighty Girnar Hills, this city has seen Mauryans, Chudasamas, and Nawabs play throne games. Ashoka’s rock edicts stand tall, whispering Buddhist wisdom, while the Uparkot Fort holds secrets of ancient battles.

Feel like a climb? Girnar’s 10,000 steps will test your soul, but the Jain and Hindu temples at the peak make it worth the burn. Need a royal fix? Mahabat Maqbara serves up Indo-Islamic architecture with a side of gothic flair. And of course, Sasan Gir is just a drive away—because no trip to Junagadh is complete without locking eyes with an Asiatic lion.

Junagadh isn’t just a city—it’s a time machine, a pilgrimage, and a wild adventure all rolled into one!

Ahilyabai Holkar & Somnath: The Queen Who Rebuilt Faith

When invaders left Somnath in ruins, Ahilyabai Holkar stepped up. In 1783, this warrior-queen, known for her temple restorations, rebuilt Somnath’s shrine, ensuring Shiva’s abode stood tall again. While today’s grand structure is a post-independence marvel, Ahilyabai’s version kept the Jyotirlinga’s flame alive during tough times.

From Kashi to Somnath, her legacy isn’t just in bricks—it’s in devotion, resilience, and power.
