VANGAN VILLAGE - PARADISE OF GUJARAT

THE RIDGE OF VANGAN

           After a long time i see the perfect village where there is a huge lake, beautiful waterfall, mountains, Green Farms everywhere.  I am talking about the "Vangan" village.

           Vangan is 56 km from the Navsari and 16 km from the Vansda Town. First time i go there when my friend planned a "khichdi" program on the waterfall of vangan. The after we go there for picnics, tracking, hiking again and again. 

WATERFALL OF VANGAN

Now Vangan is famous for its waterfall called "ankada no dhodh".

The Statue of Ahinsa - The Guinness book of World record

"The statue of Ahimsa"-  The Guinness Book of World Record  

108 ft Rishabhadev statue

             First time, when i Shaw the picture of this statue i believed that this is Bhagvan buddha. But this place is not about Buddhism, it's all about Jainism. This statue is known as "The statue of Ahimsa". Statue of first thirthkara of  Jainism, lord Rishabhdev. This statue holds the Guinness world record for the tallest Jain Idol  of 108 ft height. It's situated on the Mangi-Tungi mountain near Gujarat-Maharastra border.

MANGI-TUNGI

There are numerous temples and is considered sacred in Jainism. It enshrines images of Tirthankaras in several postures including Padmasana and kayotsarga. Sometimes, it is described as Siddha Kshetra, meaning a gateway to the state of enlightenment.



Mangi-Tungi is a prominent twin-pinnacled peak with plateau in between, located near Tahrabad about 125 km from Nasik, Maharashtra, India. Mangi, 4,343 ft (1,324 m) high above sea level, is the western pinnacle and Tungi, 4,366 ft (1,331 m) high, the eastern.Mangi-Tungi is only 100 km away from Dhule, a well known city and district place in North Maharashtra (Khandesh).

This is also a best place for tracking and hiking.
