JASMA ODAN

By MTG editorial

Host-A-Performance | Schedule

Jasma, the goddess was the nymph of `Swargaloka`. At the behest of Lord Indra, the Apsara broke the penance of a sage. Then that Rishi got angry and cursed the Apsara and the same Apsara was born in Prithviloka whose name was `Jasma`. And Apsara also cursed the sage that you will be my husband. Sage’s name in prithviloka was Roopa. Roopa was a pond digger and belonged to the Aud Rajput tribe. He went to dig the `Sahasralingalake` at Anhilwad Patan. King Siddharaj Jaisingh of the Solanki dynasty was enamored with Jasma`s beauty and proposed marriage. He proposed to make her the queen of Gujarat but Jasma rejected the proposal. King Siddharaja, felt insulted by Jasma`s refusal, killed her husband. Jasma satiated herself by jumping into a pyre to protect her honor. According to legend, due to Jasma`s curse, the Sahasralingalake remained waterless and Siddaraj was left without an heir to his state of Gujarat. The Jasmadevi Temple dedicated to Jasmadevi was built in the 12th century by the Rajput tribe in Patan, Gujarat, near the Sahasralinga Lake.
