The settlement of Beri in the Jhajjar area is where the Beri Mandir can be found, thus the name. The temple is home to a statue of Bhimeshwari Devi. Lord Krishna reportedly requested that Bhim bring their kuldevi (family deity) to the battle of Kurukshetra so that they might pray to her for success. So Bhim went to the goddess's home on the mountain Kinglay and asked her to join him on the battlefield. The goddess granted his wish, but only on the condition that he would safely transport her in his lap. Under a beri tree, he put the goddess to rest so he could focus on the trip.
Suggested Duration - 1 to 2 hours
A unique ritual that takes place in the temple is the retying of the knot by newlyweds in the presence of the goddess. It is also a peaceful spot away from the chaos of the main city.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
