There is a big entrance gate,
which is very high & wide. This grand gate also adds the beauty of the
temple. It is said that about one lac rupees were spent in the
construction of this complex in those days when the wage of a labourer
was about some
paisa. It is not out of place to mention here that the currency in those
days was in silver coins. After the construction of temple and inns when
the auspicious time of installation of statues came then Wazir Sobha Ram
Ji arranged a grand function of “Yajna” havan and Bhandhara. All the
learned brahimins of the area were invited to take part in this
auspicious function. Before the start of “Yagna” Wazir Ji came to
welcome the learned Pandits and found that Sangan Brahimins of village
Chinote were not present there. He inquired from the managing committee
the reason of absence of Sangan Brahimins.
The managing committee
narrated the story of boycott. Wazir Ji said that in the absence of
Sangans Brahimins our “Yajna” would be incomplete. Therefore the boycott
of these people will have to be done away with. Resolving so he sent a
team of dependable senior citizens to visit Chinote to request them to
participate in the “ Yajna” . On the request of Wazir Ji when all the
Sangans came to participate.
WazirJi welcomed them from
the core of his heart and promised that he himself would go to the
Vasuki Nag Ji temple and apologise for the crime of ending the boycott.
On the assurance of Wazir Ji Sangans participated in the “Yajna” and ate
the food of “Bhandhara” . In this way centuries old enmity and boycott
came to an end.
