RUPAL: As this place is near to my hometown Gandhinagar. I will tell you in detail. This is some 10-12Km away from Gandhinagar towards Mehsana side. You all might have heard Rupal ni Palli, yes it is the same place. There is one big Temple with new look, all the basic facilities on the main road. Now the PALLI is done during Dushera night, around 5-6Lac of pure ghee dropped on the Palli (it is wooden make carrier for Mataji Bimb), I have seen the actual one, how it is made. It is made by some Prajapatis in the village, then Rajput made some tilak from his ancient sword and then the Palli starts moving all over the village on some predefined route. During the route at each and every place people are ready with Ghee in pips and buckets, when the palli pass through, they pour it on the palli. Last year around 5-6Lac pure Ghee has been poured. There are lacs of people to watch the same. It was rally amazing experience. I, myself had walked in Ghee where level of the Ghee on the road is about 5-6 Inches.

Rs.100 Million worth of Pure Ghee be Poured to Vardayini Mataji at Rupal Palli
Good Morning Friends,
Last night was end of nine night festival called Navaratri. We can define Navaratari meaning Nine Night Dance festival. It is celebrated all over India. Gujarat, Maharashtra and West Bengal are states were Navratri celebrated maximum.
Last night, I visited Rupal , a small village around 40 km away from my city Ahmedabad. Rupal is known for Ma Vardayini Temple and Palli of Ma Vardayini.
Palli is a wooden frame of around 6-7 feet height. Its having holy fire kindled at top of it and also on all four corners. Pure Ghee or clarified butter is being poured onto a Palli.. More than 600,000 Kg of Pure Ghee poured onto a Palli. The price for that ghee is around 100 million rupees.
Pure Ghee or clarified butter is been kept at around 27 different spots from all over village. These spots are call Chakalu or cross road. Pure Ghee was kept in Trailors and Big size of Bucket. View following picture where devotees and volunteers walk in a vat of ghee before it is poured onto a Palli.
