Lili Parikrama refers to the annual fair held in the district of Junagadh in the state of Gujarat. The fair involves parikrama (Green Pradakshina or circumambulation) around mount Girnar, which starts from the temple of Bhavnath and after covering some of the major hills of Mount Girnar it ends again at the Bhavnath temple.
The fair is organized by the local people, priests, police and forest department officials. The people of the state believe that all 33 crore Gods live in Girnar and this belief drives the devotees to take a parikrama of mount Girnar annually.
Initially the fair involved a 12 miles round on foot, which from the past 150 years has been reduced to 4 miles. The complete Parikrama takes 4 days, and that’s the duration of the fair.
Although Mount Girnar and the nearby places in Junagadh district have many religious and holy places, but, of all the peaks and places pilgrims and devotees definitely visit the Bhavnath Shiv temple, Bhartruchari cave, Sorath Mahal, Bhim Kund and Shiv Kund. Also of the seven peaks on mount Girnar, five are the most important namely Ambamata, Gorakhnath, Augadh, Guru Dattatreya and Kalika.
History
The legend says even in Shiv Puran, the Girnar hills which is named as Revta Chal was the home of 33 crore gods and since that time people have a make believe that all gods are settled here so if we do a Parikrama of Girnar we have worshipped all the gods at a time. That’s why people travel through the track which was identified 150 years ago.
