Visit to Sirohi...!!! A good place to see...

As Bhavesh Kansara tied the knots with Kusum - his better half, we enjoyed the Rajasthani Marriage a lot at Sirohi.

Sirohi means "Sword". The place is famous because of swords. There is a complete market of shops selling different types of Swords, Khanjars, Kataars, Dhaals etc.

Place is situated at western-center Rajasthan, 72 kms north from Abu Road. Sirohi does not have its own proper Railway Station. You have to catch any passenger train either from Sirohi Road station (20 kms) or Abu Road station. Abu Road is well connected by Railroad from Mumbai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Delhi and many other major cities of the country.

Jodhpur is also very much neared to Sirohi. Regular bus services available round the clock to this place from different part of the state as well as Gujarat, MP, UP and Delhi.

Indo-Pak border is 145 km away from this place. Desert starts just 65 kms from Sirohi.

Well, that is the geogrophical and tours and travels related information.

I caught the private bus from Ahmedabad on 18th Feb, Friday, morning 6:30. It took 7 and half hours to reach there and we dropped there at 2 PM.

Enjoyed the marriage procession and danced for almost 2 hours. Such a graceful and colorful Rajasthani crowd. Every member was so much welcoming, polite and humble. After-all Rajasthan is well-known for its hospitality and respect to the guests (Atithi Devo Bhavah).

So returned back on Saturday, 19th Feb evening. Now at my desk and finishing my today's tasks so I can go home and have rest from a bit long marriage season.

Will blog more next time. Sorry, as usual I forgot my camera hence could not take any snap. Hardik Raval who was with me, got so much angry on this, and he was almost going to beat me when I told him with :D smile that I forgot the camera.... he he he....

Thats all folks for today.

C u soon again
