SULTANGANJ |
|
|
| The pandas are
co-operative and not avaricious. On auspicious days the crowd is enormous. There is hardly
any accommodation for the pilgrims if they wish to stay back and so they all have got to
clear out before evening and at least go to Sultanganj where there are dharma- shalas.
There is no dearth of boats at Sultanganj Ghat and the boat charges are very nominal and
do not go beyond four annas if a boat is shared with others. The temple has recently been
given electricity, which is a great advantage. It is, however, strange that the famous
Shiva temple known as Ajgaivinath, which is ancient and so widely known, should have a
name with a Muslim impress. It is clear that during the Muslim rule the name of Jahangira
was changed to Sultanganj and the name has stuck through the British period to this day. |
