Importance of Nagar Sanskar- Contd

Ø Practice of bathing early in the morning has retained its place in our lives, irrespective of whether we live in Nagarwara or not. This is one aspect of cleanliness which is very dear to Nagars. I remember that we used to have bath with cold water, pulled out of the well, at our home in Nagarwara during my childhood. The practice has remained with me. I do not remember a single day in my life when I have skipped bathing for whatever reason. I also have images of people going around in Pitamber, early in the morning, with a kalash or lota to offer jal in Neelkanth temple. I have also gone and offered jal, a few times, during my childhood.
