Amidst of this jammed up crowd I rolled up after taking a few pictures, then came to know a fossil park of Jurassic era being a student of geology it engrossed my interest and the topography of that place also spoke for itself to quench my thirst I went to see it and found out real hidden treasure innumerable fossils of trees & mammals even an egg of dinosaur it really was amazing hw its hidden. Further moving up Umaria, Baghraji ,the temperature was plummeting down and the forest area of saughon trees were increasing a breath taking view and lesser of traffic then ultimately crossing a bunch of medicinal plants nursery for which AMARKANTHAK is known for & there I was the birth place of our ma Rewa as she has numerable names to call upon .
There was no hotel to be found just ashrams & 1 or 2 dhramshalas I visited few & asked for rooms but the rates & the amenities provided did not tally & by the time it was sandhya arti time with flocks of people gathering in the premises on Narmada mandir, people taking holy dips in the two assigned kunds, shaving their heads or mundan being done, then the dinner time pushed me to hunt for some food saw a clean dhaba and crowd was seated being served the very homely low calorie simplistic food made in food fire trust me the taste and the aroma was awakening my taste buds and I ate till my tummy could explode and then topped up with enough water and then once again the hunt began for a room but ultimately I couldn’t find any to my satisfaction and this ignited the fire in me what if I spend the night by my Narmada and feel the whispers of its pristine waters as she was gleaming like pure white silver under the glow of moonlight of orange hue moon due to the occasion of BUDDHPURNIMA.
Amidst of half sleep and half awake condition the night ended and then the chirping of the birds welcomed me by 4 o’Clock in the morning but to my surprise there were flocks of people arriving in to take a holy dip in the sacred river but for me it was too cold take a dip just no matter how holy it counted then I went to the parikrama path which are taken by sadhus anyways I drove back but decided to follow my Narmada through her rugged path.
