PALLI MELO, RUPAL

At the beginning of the Gupta period of the Pandavas, the Pandavas completed the Guptavas with the blessings of Mataji and also won the war of Mahabharata, then Pandavas Draupadi Vishnu came here against the army of Lord Chaturangi, worshiped Mataji and made a gold palli, passed Panchvali and circumambulated the palli in the village and established the temple in the morning continuously since then. Palli festival is celebrated.  This festival was started by the "Pandavs"in the time of Mahabharat. People come to the village and do prayer for their family and mainly their children. The "Palli" is made from the wood of tree "khijada" on the same day itself. It is a wooden frame of about 8–9 feet in height with a stand to lift it. Holy fire (Akand Jyoth) is kept at 5 places on the frame, one at the top and others at the four corners of the Palli. People of village take out the Palli from the middle of the village and palli stops at 27 spots in the village. Each spot is having tons of pure ghee or clarified butter kept ready to pour on the "Palli" Rath. These tons of pure ghee is donated by the millions of people who come to this small village to visit the Palli and take blessings of Mata Vardayini.
