Karan Khatri

Have you ever felt a sudden urge to understand where you come from? That is exactly what happened to me recently. While searching for information about my Kuldevi (our family deity), I discovered that I belong to the Solanki Dynasty . I found out that my Kuldevi is Bhramani Mata , located in Kamli Village in the Mehsana District of Gujarat. Even though my native place is Valsad and I was born and raised in the busy city of Mumbai, I felt a deep pull to visit my roots. Since the famous Modhera Sun Temple is only an hour away from my Kuldevi’s temple, I decided to go. This wasn't just a sightseeing trip; it was my second time there, and I wanted to truly understand the richness, power, and liberal nature of Hindu culture. I wanted to see how these ancient structures serve as teachers of life and spirituality.
