Here in ancient times there was a huge town named 'Ghatarwad'. Where two Rajput brothers 'Ebhalwala' and 'Arshiwala' ruled...
Today even its remains have been submerged in the dam, only a few kangaras of the ancient fort and a barren village known as Mangadawala are left.
This Ebhalwala's son is the same 'Vir Mangdawala'
The love story of Mangadwala and Sati Padmavati is very popular... Some stories are also written in the pen of 'Zaverchand Meghani'.
Many years ago, a barot came near the barren and desolate fort... It was evening and the barot and the horse were 'chadipo' meaning tired but coming here, they saw an inner palace. My torches are burning...Barot thought "Malu Kok is Garasiya's Khorda, if I get a night's sleep, I will get tired"
Barot's horse entered the deli, seeing it coming, a white-clad man came and welcomed Barot...drums were played...After a while, a panchal-like buffalo entered the deli. To milk it, a lady with a perfect form came....filled the overflowing bowl and the lady...went into the room.
The fringes fell down, the darbar and the barot were folded...then sleeping...Barot asked for identification and the darbar said..."Barotji is staying here without killing us...there is no point in giving identification. No one is coming... Because there is a rumor that beggars are haunted here, we live comfortably."
Barotji left after talking a little...
Barot didn't sleep until it was half past midnight... But, when he got up and looked, he didn't find a palace or a court or a woman with a bowing form...
And his horse is standing near the edge of a board.
Barot woke up very suddenly and became speechless... alas... what is this....?
Where has the structure of the night gone...!!!
I'm not dreaming am I...?
Kandu Kardyu.... No, I am awake, not a dream.
And Barot ran away....He came to the village and told the village people the facts of the night while trembling...
Then an old and experienced man says that... "Barotji, you stayed the night and the same old team of Dhatarvad, you are lucky that you got the darshan of Virpurush Mangavala and Sati Padmavati, otherwise people who go to that barren place are afraid to go because you are a stranger. Climbed..."
Barot said "But the books of my life-like host I gave to the Darbar for safekeeping at night and that book was given to Thakran by the Darbar.... what to do with that book now..?"
Then the veteran says..." Barot ji, on the day of Kali Chaudash, this group of mangadas stays overnight, if your chest is open...the coming black fourteenth, you should judge there...the malevolent mangadas will return your books."
Barot also went to this place on the evening of the fourteenth... It is said that Mangdawala welcomed Barot with great love and said "Barotji I was just looking at you".
Barot said "Even if Father...Mangda Ebhal, you will be famous for seven generations..." Saying this, Barot said one hundred and one duha of Mangdawala....
Mangadwala and Sati Padmavati listened to the Duha with love....and then said "Barotji accept this book as your life but now keep the leaf of this book on the pillow and throw it away Barotji...!"
In the morning, when Barot saw, it was full of gold stamps along with books.
