Mogli Land in Mount Abu
Imagine you are walking deep into a forest and suddenly you chance upon something not only ancient but rather fascinating for it to be there. You go closer, dig a little and presto, you find remains buried in the recess of time, fortunately not digested by oblivion, yet. You feel like an archaeologist, who has, albeit unwittingly, just unearthed a wealth of archaeological treasure, in the deep jungles of Mount Abu, hitherto never known to any soul till date. You cannot resist screaming ‘Eureka’.
This is exactly what happened with the DFO Parmar with the CCF (Chief Conservator of Forest) Rajan. The able forest officer was amazed with the find, could not refrain from echoing his amazement to his juniors. “This is how Mogli Land must have been conceived by Kipling! Let us call it Mogli Land and develop it for the nature lovers to take a peep in the past and learn how folks must have lived then.”
Indeed, the officer was not far from the truth. The finds, with the discovery of the site, were astounding. Clay pots and much other bric-a-brac were found, once the digging took place. The most remarkable aspect was the type of bricks found. They were not only larger than those found nowadays but were heavier and far sturdier than any to the quality seen in present days.
With such amazing turn of events, how could the administration stay away.The young collector of Sirohi, Mahajan, took time out from his busy schedule and went to inspect the site with his forest officers and assistant director of tourism. He could not restrain exclaiming that the site must have been a sort of amid- way rest place for travellers of those days, more than 1,000 years back. the DFO was quick to concur his senior , adding that this truly is off the legendary , old card road “ ALONG which then elephant brought marble for the world- famous marble domes called temples . presently , the site is being developed with the apt sobriquet , MOGLI land ‘ as it has all the trappings of the ambience of what mogli land must have looked like in Kipling‘s imagination. One would have to be more that a nature lover to venture there. The nascent tranquillity is so real that one could strike a pleasant discourse with its reflecting language. Once one reaches there it seems that the search four self is over and you are finally with your self you were rummaging around all your life.
