00:33But the statue of Yamraj, which is present in Gwalior, in this 350-year-old temple,
00:40Yamraj still resides here.
00:42We have reached the temple.
00:44This statue is located in the temple of Markandeshwar.
00:49It is said that on behalf of the Sindhi Rajvansh, this statue of Yamraj was installed in this temple.

01:04We also talk to the priests here.
01:08First of all, we show you the statue of Yamraj.
01:13It is a very ancient statue.
01:16And it is a very beautiful statue.
01:19The priest here said that his third generation is serving here.
01:28Priest, please tell us a little about Yamraj.
01:32How old is the statue?
01:33What is the history of this place?
01:35And what is its specialty?
01:36The name of this temple is Markandeshwar Mahadev.
01:40Markandeshwar Mahadev was a devotee of Bhole Baba.
01:43Yamraj had come to take Markandeshwar.
01:46When he refused, he went to Shivji.
01:49We are talking about Yamraj today.
01:51This temple was built by Santaji Rao Temak.
01:54We can say that it was built around 330-340 years ago.
01:58My third generation is serving here.
02:02Today, Makar Sankanti is celebrated.
02:06In Jyotish Shastra, the sun rises and sets for 6 months.
02:15Today, the sun sets.
02:20We say that the sun rises early in the morning.
02:25And the sun sets late in the evening.
02:30The sun sets.
02:33Then we start our daily chores.
02:37Today, we don't bathe with soap.
02:46Today, we bathe with white sesame seeds.
02:52We don't get skin diseases.
02:55We don't get diseases.
02:59And we worship Yamraj.
03:02Why do people come to worship Yamraj?
03:08Is it to get rid of their problems?
03:13Yamraj is the king of the Yamloka.
03:16Yamraj is worshipped mainly because...
03:20...those who come at the end of their life...
03:23...they come to take Yamraj.
03:26Everyone commits a sin.
03:29Everyone lies.
03:31Whether you know it or not.
03:34We don't want our body to suffer.
03:37After our death, Yamloka travels for 11 months.
03:44We don't get to travel for 11 months.
03:49We want to get rid of our sins.
03:54That's why we worship Yamraj.
03:57Is there a special way to worship Yamraj?
04:00In Makar Sankranti, there is a special donation.
04:03After taking a bath in the morning...
04:06...you give whatever donation you have.
04:09For Yamraj, there is a special offering.
04:12Like jaggery, urad dal, sesame seeds...
04:16...black clothes, blankets, umbrellas...
04:19...sticks, silver utensils...
04:22...mustard oil, gajak...
04:26In this way, we offer sesame seeds to God.
04:30When was this statue erected?
04:33Who built it?
04:35I told you earlier...
04:37...that this temple was built by Santaji Rao Tremak.
04:40During the Sindhi Rajvansh period?
04:42He was a Sardar.
04:44He was considered a Sardar.
04:46Now his family has only one son.
04:48He has two daughters.
04:50He didn't have any children.
04:53When the temple was built...
04:56...the first worshipper was Balaramji.
04:59He was the first.
05:01Then there was Govindam, Shivdayal...
05:04...Mithuramji, Maheshji, my father...
05:07How many devotees come here?
05:10Today, there are people from...
05:13...Dabra, Tatiya, Sivapuri, Morena, Gwalior...
05:16A lot of people come here.
05:19As you heard...
05:21...people come here...
05:24...to reduce their suffering.
05:27During Makar Sankranti...
05:30...they offer black food...
05:33...be it urad dal, black cloth or jaggery.
05:36Everyone is afraid of Yamraj.
05:39The 11-month pilgrimage is not easy for anyone.
05:42Like Panditji said...
05:44...everyone commits sins.
05:46To reduce their suffering...
