Hardaul : Hamirpur

In the folk deities in Hamirpur Hrdul is remembered and invited on the occasion of marriages in each family. His pops are remain in villages. "Aashaadh Shukla Ekadashi" is called the "Devshayani Ekadashi".That day the people have prevalence to worship the God from ancient times. That day Hrdul is also worshiped.

 Hrdul was the son of King Virsinh dev Bundela of orchha.when his older brother named Jujhar Singh was seated on the throne of Orchha state. Hrdul, his younger brother had the charge to rule. He then was a unequaled heroic and virtuous person.In Bundelkhand king's younger brother called the Diwan. A sycophant complained to the king Jhujhar Singh that the Diwan (Hrdul) had improper relations with the queen. The words of sycophant seemed true to the king.

It says that wit became opposite during the Problems. Jhujhar Singh ordered his queen to prove their innocence by submitting to Hrdul  tray of poisoning food by her hand.Chastity and dignity of women are soft fabrics .Hrdul was like Laxman for his Brothers wife and he never raised his sight above her feet. So to prove that his brother’s wife is not guilty he drank the poison and  rise above  to human and became the god.Like the day, that day his servent received his stale offerings with them and become divine. Where there is the pops of Hardaul ,also have  the small platform near Hardaul pops. Thus Mehtar Baba became scavenger. Thus, we see the peak of parity in Hamirpur where the servant is also devoted. It is said that at the time of the marriage of the Kunjabai's daughter he gave rice being unobtrusively. Kunjabai was the sister of Hardaul.The material like food and clothing which are given at the time of marriage by maternal uncle is called "Bhaat" or "Cheekat" in folk speeches.

This hearsay is true or not, it cannot be said, but forty years ago when people from Senevdha to Datia were suffering from the outbreak of the epidemic in which hundreds of people were dying, Families were destroying, none body were present to disposal of corpses, that time many families were forced to spend their nights next to Hrdul pops to avoid the destruction of epidemic. The truth of Science was dampened that the cholera is an epidemic.

Thus even a single person the shelties around the platform of Hardaul is not influenced from cholera. While others in the neighborhood people running to the asylum of Hardaul.
