After returning from Badrinath, Adiyen also visited Tirumala-Tirupati and participated in Vimsathi darshanam a scheme which allows a family of 6 members to have Suprabatham, Nijapada and SahasraDeepalankara seva for any 2 consecutive days in a year . It was only due to the abundant grace of Thiruvengadamudaiyan adiyen was able to vist all the Divya desams without any difficulty. Before proceeding further, Adiyen would like to thank all the internet bhagavathas especially Sri Rangasri group members and M.S.Ramesh for providing abundant information about these divya desams. I have uploaded a Map of the hills again downloaded from UP Tourism site for ready reference . As Adiyen had not planned the trip in advance, it was not possible to join “package tour” organised by number of travel agencies and could not do as it was Off season. Adiyen wishes to share my experience with all of you and request the bhagavathas to correct the shortcomings. Adiyen was blessed to take my father aged about 70 years a heart patient , to this divya desam and it would not be an exaggeration to say that only because of my acharyar’s and elders’ blessings , the trip was very comfortable.

    188 38 Social Customs In Chamba Himalaya *Disha Pathania Chamba, earlier a princely state and later on district of Himachal Pradesh evokes romantic feelings among people. Vogel also rightly described Chamba as ‘Achamba’ meaning ‘Chamba the Charming’.1 In Chamba the large majority of the population is constituted by Hindus and it may be appropriate to mention here some of their customs and beliefs. Birth Customs: Certain age-old customs were practiced by most of the Hindu population regarding the birth of children. During the period of pregnancy a woman led a normal life. There were however, some things that she had to observe. She was not permitted to go to the cremation ground, forest, and river or in front of a dead body. She was also prohibited from coming out of the house during an eclipse. At the time of deliver a Dai (midwife) attended to her. Soon after its birth, the child was bathed in warm water and given honey to taste. Ghut, a mixture of herbs boiled in water, was also given to the child. For the first five days a child is not to be shown to outsiders. A sickle or axe was kept under the pillow of the woman all the time to ward off any evil eye.2 Guntar: On the day of the guntar ceremony, all the clothes of the mother were washed and the house was cleaned. A mixture of guntar (urine of cow), gangajal and milk was sprinkled all over the house. The ceremony was performed for a period of 11 days among the Brahmins; 13 days among the Rajputs, and 22 days among other castes.
