Jai Brahamani Mataji Ki......................

Legend:
Brahamanimataji is the ‘Aaradhya Devi’ of Dingucha, there is an interesting background about this divine association . Once the Dodiya Rajputs went to the hilly terrains of Edar to fetch materials for building houses. There was no transportation available except the bullock-cart which was used to carry goods. From the hills they put the material in the cart but while coming back by mistake they took the wrong path. The terrain was rugged and so full with stones that the bullocks were not able to walk any further. Everyone was tensed and worried, at last they resorted to the divine refuge of the Devi Mata. After sometime of prying a miracle happened. Two sisters with brown eyes came out of nowhere and requested the driver to give them a lift. The driver replied that the bullocks were too tired to walk so he was unable to help them out. To this, the sisters said that everything would be all right if they were allowed to sit. The driver consented, and the moment both the sisters sat in the cart the bullocks started running. The driver was very amazed at this and he requested the sisters not to get down, he also agreed to the lift they wanted. On the way to Dingucha, by the beautiful pond at Rayan Talawadi one of the sisters got off the cart without telling anybody and sat under one of the Rayan trees. The other sister also got down without telling anyone at the east entrance of Dingucha amidst shrubs of thorn. After reaching the village safe and sound, the farmers realized that both the sisters were no longer with them. Surprised at their absence the Darbaro started searching for them but in vain. At that night they dreamt a prophecy from the Divine Mother. She told them that she as Mata Kareharji (Kalesh Harani Mataji) through the form of the first sister, she got down first from the cart at Rayan Talawadi and as Mata Brahamaniji had arrived at Dingucha in the form of the second sister. Then the villagers constructed a small mandir at the eastern entrance of the village and started worshipping the Mata Brahamaniji with diyas and aarti. Right now the total population that has their roots in Dingucha is more than 7 to 8 thousand and by the Mataji's grace and divine blessings are all well settled and lead a happy and prosperous life. Twice the temple was renovated and the history behind both the reconstruction was different. More than 80 years ago some Patel's went to Rangoon in search of luck. Due to the revolution, they were forced to leave without taking their property and money. They had to walk back home through hills with dense forests of bamboo. Their journey may be traced to the rugged terrains of Assam. On the way they forgot the road and were lost in the forests unable to get out. Then they all started praying to Maa Brahamaniji chanting “Maa please save us and help us to reach home safely.” At that moment a miracle happened again, a small girl with white hair, clad in rags appeared. She told them not to worry as she would accompany them and lead them back to the way out of the forests. And then how the tedious journey back to Dingucha was over, no-one realized. When they reached home they realized that the girl, who helped them in the forests was no ordinary girl but an incarnate of Mata Brahamaniji. After that they renovated the temple and made it bigger than before. But currently the temple that stands at Dingucha is constructed with aids received as donation from the business class belonging to the Patel community. Before 1991 the villagers who were settled out side the village used to come to the temple to worship the Mataji on fulfillment of their wishes (Badha) by their vehicles. A meeting of all the villagers was summoned and it was decided unanimously to renovate the temple, but this time with the aim of constructing something that was never done before. After that “Shree Brahamanimataji Charitable Trust” was formed in Ahmedabad. Lots of businessmen donated in the tune of lakhs of rupees to the trust for the holy purpose. Within a couple of years the small temple was modified to the big and beautiful temple  we see today. The same was inaugurated and opened for all in February 1996. All villagers had a divine and unforgettable time in the praise of Mata Brahamaniji and the festival lasted for three days from 2nd Feb 1996 to 4th Feb 1996. It was a great gathering; more than 30 thousand people had prashadam during these three days. It was like Diwali and Garba, Dayro and other programs were organized by trust to celebrate the event, for all the three nights. Mata Brahamaniji has blessed us all, the villagers of Dingucha, solved lots of problems. Whenever a problem has crept up we resort to Her holy refuge and pray to Her with closed eyes. The stories of Mataji’s divine miracles knowss no end and the legend continues even today. Even if you don’t belong to Dingucha, Mataji blesses all Her children with all Her love and kindness. Just close your eyes and pray with clasped hands in front of Mataji and She will definitely bless you and fulfill your requirements and whatever your desires hold. If you want to enjoy this divine feeling, I would request you to visit the temple once. Mataji is very kind and blesses Her children all the time. Mataji has four hands, mounts on Hans (swan) and wears white clothes. She holds a lotus in one hand, in the second hand She has a mala of pearls. In the third hand Mataji holds Kamandal with Amrut and the fourth hand is open in the Barabhai mudra blessing the world of Her children. Mataji is the goddess of kindness.
