A 300-year-old tradition of Bahucharaji on Dussehra day remained intact. In which Mataji was celebrated by decorating 300 crore Nawalkha necklace.
When talking about the Bahucharaji temple at Becharaji in Mehsana, the name Navalkha Haar is invariably used. Studded with precious sapphires and rubies, this necklace is the most sought-after ornament in all the temples of Gujarat today. Three and a half hundred years ago, this necklace was gifted to Mataji by Gaikwad and was worth nine lakh rupees at that time. Today, the value of this necklace has reached 300 crore rupees and this fact has become clear based on the current valuation of the necklace by the temple. Only one day in a year this necklace is brought out on the day of Dussehra.
According to the tradition that has been going on for the last 100 years, Mataji was kept wearing this necklace on the day of Dussehra.
The temple of Bala Tripura Sundari Maa Bahuchar has been the center of faith for millions of people for the past three hundred years. In this temple, there is a tradition of dressing Mataji with fine ornaments since Gaekwad times. But among all these ornaments, if there is one at the top, it is the Navlakho necklace . Since three and a half hundred years ago, there is a tradition of wearing this necklace to Mataji every Dussehra in this temple. The necklace, which currently has a market value of Rs 300 crore, is excluded from Mataji's ornaments during the year for safety reasons. But on the day of Dussehra, the temple has kept the three hundred year old tradition of wearing this necklace to Mataji amid strict arrangements.
