Jamui District

Jamui was formed in 1991 as a result of its separation from Munger,with Munger and Lakhisarai in the north, Giridih in the south, Deoghar and Banka in the east and Nawada in the west.jamui

Various literature indicates the fact that Jamui was known as Jambhiyaagram. According to Jainism, the 24th Tirthankar lord Mahavir got divine knowledge in Jambhiyagram situated on the bank of river named Ujjihuvaliya. Another place of a divine light of Lord Mahavir was also traced as “Jrimbhikgram “on the bank of Rijuvalika river which resembles Jambhiyagram Ujjhuvaliya. Jambhiya and Jrimbhikgram is Jamuhi which is doveloped in the recent time as Jamui. With the prassage of time, the river Ujhuvaliya /Rijuvalika is supposed to be deoveloped as the river Ulai and as such both the place are still found in Jamui . The Ulai river is still flowing nearby Jamui. The old name of Jamui has been traced as Jambhubani in a copper plate which has been kept in Patna Museum. This plate clarifies that in the 12th century, Jambudani was today’s Jamui. Thus, the two ancient names as Jambhiyagram and Jambubani prove that this district was important as a religious place for Jains and it was also a place of Gupta dynasty in the 19th century, the historian Buchanan also visited this place in 1811 and found the historical facts. According to other historians Jamui was also famous in the era of Mahabharata.
According to available literature, Jamui was related to Gupta and Pala rulers before 12th century. But after that this place became famous for Chandel rulers. Prior to Chandel Raj, this place was ruled by Nigoria, who was defeated by Chandels and the dynasty of Chandels founded in 13th century. The kingdom of Chandels spread over the whole of Jamui.

Indpai (Indpegarh) :- This is supposed to be the capital of the last local king of Pala dynasty, Indradyumna of 12th century. It was earlier known as Indraprastha.Today only the

low brick foundations of buildings survive above ground . About a dozen sculptures, mostly dating to about the seventh century have been found at this place such as  Standing Buddha image (61 x 28 cm, ), Standing Buddha torso(66 X 28 cm ), Stone stupa with seated Buddha(H. 61cm, diameter 30.5 cm ), Seated Buddha image(45.5X26.5 cm), Seated Buddha image(50.5 x 30.5 cm ), Seated Buddha image(30.5×23 cm ), Torso of seated Buddha image(40.5 x 39.5 cm number), Four-sided relief with Buddha images(26.5X23 cm ), Terracotta head (H. 11.5 cm. unnumbered),Pedestal of standingfigure(30.5×57 cm), Bhairava image(56 x 28 cm ) all these are kept in the Jamui Museum.

Buchanan-Hamilton visited the site in 1811.  He took it to be a fort, in keeping with local tradition. Although he referred to it only as Indappe, the suffix garh, meaning fort, is commonly used for the site today and preserves that local tradition. The structure is remains today, a large rectangular brick enclosure approximately 500 meters in perimeter. It was said to have been founded by a raja Indradyumna, traditionally said to have been the last Pala monarch, a tradition not supported by any evidence. Although Buchanan-Hamilton accepted the identification of ruins within the walls as being those of royal quarters and offices appropriate to a fort, he noted a mound that dominates the interior , said to be the place where the raja enjoyed the evening air. He doubted that identification, suggesting instead that it was ” a solid temple of a Buddha”.

Above photograph showing the brick-lined vent in the overgrown stupa at Indpai (Indapaigarh) was taken by Joseph David Beglar c.1872-73 and forms part of the Archaeological Survey of India Collections (Indian Museum Series).

Kokilchand Baba(Gangra):-

It is said that the history of the tradition of the descending of God’s power in the form of human being from the very beginning of human civilization is described in mythology and saga.They also have the power to provide the desired results, and these Bhavits of the deities become omnipresent. The famous Baba Kokilchand Dev, situated in the Gangra Panchayat of Giddhor block, is also the mandev of this class, whose incarnation was about 750 years ago in the holy land of Gangra village today. He was born here of a Bhumihar Brahmin in Padumpur. His father’s name was Thakur Rupchandra. Leaving this village, Kokilchand settled with his brothers in the Kayar village of Sikandra block. But they also left the village, became residents of Anchari village. From there, Kokilchand family made their residence on the plot between the Umai and Nagi river and named it ‘Gangara’. In this village, he lived as a farmer’s family and settled in his house. In this sequence, on the full moon day of Agni month, ready to go to the woods to bring wood with Kokilchand Bihalaras. He said to his sister-in-law Rehmat – “I am going to the forest with banatars to make a collar for sowing the reed, so give me something to eat.” While giving me food, Rahmat said, ‘Kokilchand,you will eat tiger today.’

This prophecy of Rahmat is right. When cutting woods in the forest and preparing to return to Kokilchand, a huge forceful tiger came up and attacked Kokilchand. The very strong Thakur got entangled with Kokilchand tiger and they killed him. They are as old as they move towards the house that a tigress has stopped them. In Kokilchand fighting the tiger, the sense of divine valor made his consciousness pure and immense. With this feeling, Kokilchand got conquered death and immortalized with consciousness. His Virat Chetna interviewed the Goddess himself in the tigress and surrendered with intuition and left his life at the feet of his mother. All the power of the divinative mother was absorbed in Kochilchand and Thakur converted into Kokilchand Dev Kokilchand. Shara Sharada became enamored in his throat and got all the strength of Varadayani Gauri. Now Kokilchand became omnipresent, omnipotent and omnipresent.Kokilchand first introduced this power to the immediate king of the Giddhara kingdom. Gigur Maharaj was imprisoned for some reason by the Muslim king and kept in the prison in Delhi. Kokilchand appeared there to the king, and told the device to be free. By freeing the king, they brought them to Gidhaur and themselves separated from them. The king discovered Kokilchand and was amazed to know that Kokilchand was killed by tiger just a few days ago. While contemplating the King good fortune and repentance for some moment, Baba accepted Kokilchand as his admiration and constructed his pindi, made a pavilion and supplied 18 Bigha land service to his worship, thereby worshiping Baba.Introducing his power of divine power, he bowed the flag of Devghar Temple repeatedly. Lord Shiva identified Kokilchand’s Devashakti and established him in front of the temple (in front of the Saraswati temple) and gave theright to worship with all deities of Deoghar temple.

It has temple of Lord Shiva and consort Paravati. According to the legend, King Maharaja Chandrachud Singh of Giddhaur Rajyasitya had faith in Lord Shiva. He used to ride horseback riding every day and go to Devghar to worship Lord Shiva in the morning and worship.Gradually his age grew and he fell ill. When he could not worship God Shankar for two or three days, he became very worried and prayed to Lord Shiva that God should make some remedy so that I can be away from you. When Maharaja Chandrachud Singh started to get away from Lord Shiva due to his discomfort, God told him in a night in a dream that O King, I have been very close to you by not worrying. You can now worship me in your state too. I have been established tonight between a pond situated in Simaria, in your state.The king’s eyes were opened. The king was not left and in the morning, he boarded his horse and headed towards Simaria village. Upon arrival, they saw that a huge temple of Lord Shiva was built in which the Shivling was established. The Maharaja at the same time bathing in the said pond gave it the name of Shivganga and worshiped Lord Shiva and changed the name of that village from Simaria to Mahadev Simiriya. It is also said that  Lord Shiva’s inspiration, Lord Vishwakarma made night and night Shiva temple of Mahadev Simaria.

Lachhuar Jain temple :-Lachhuar village in the Jamui District situated about 8 kms west of Somaria and 6 km south of Sikandra. It contains a large Jain temple and dharamshala built in 1857 by Raja Dhanpat singh Bahadur of Murshidabad. Some Jains hold Lachhaur to be the birthplace of Mahavir Swami ,the 24th Tirthankar of the Jains. Lachhaur is said to have been several centuries ago the residence of Puran Mal Raja of Giddhaur, who built the temples mentioned in the account of Simaria. On the outskirts of the village there is a temple dedicated to kali.

In this Temple there is nearly 60 cms. high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan Mahavir Swami in the Padmasana posture. It is on the hill of the thick forest at a distance of 5 kilometers from the foot of Kshatriya Kund. This tirth belongs to a period earlier than the times of the last Tirthankara Bhagwan Mahavir. It was the capital of King Siddhartha, the father of Bhagawan Mahavir, King Siddhartha’s wife Trishala was the daughter of King Chetak. Bhagawan was born of her. When Bhagawan was in her womb, Trishala Mata saw fourteen great dreams. Money and corn increased. Everywhere in the kingdom peace and happiness increased. Therefore, on the twelfth day of his birth, Bhagawan was given the name, ‘Vardhman’. Bhagwan was married to Yashoda Devi, daughter of King Samarvir. Bhagawan had no love for worldly pleasures. With permission of his elder, brother Nandivardhan, he took diksa on the auspicious tenth day of the dark half of the month of Kartik in the year 513 of the vikram era. Bhagawan was then 30 years old. Bhagawan thus passed 30 years of his life on this holy land. Three Kalyanak of Bhagwan happened here. Every particle of this land is, therefore, sacred and this tirth has a great significance. Even today the calm and serene atmosphere of this place sets the stream of devotion to God, flowing in the human heart and forgetting worldly affairs, man gets engrossed in worship of god. Even today, a touch of this sacred tirth thrills men.
