Information about Leeli Parikrama / Girnar Parikrama

A thirty-six kilometer long green circumnavigation takes place around Mount Girnar.  The addition of the word "green" here has a special nature reference.  Green means green!  Every year, after the monsoon season, nature blossoms here.  Green forests cover the mountains.  The springs coming from the mountain at many places are mesmerizing. 

The bushes and forests become green.  Paths, dirt roads, slopes, rivers, small bridges, temples, tall trees, vines, wildlife, chirping of birds vs. 

Since the entire environment becomes natural.  This Parikrama runs from Kartak Sud Agiyaras to Poonam i.e. Devdiwali.  People flock from all over India and Gujarat to walk in the lap of nature, giving up many comforts of life.  There is no solid evidence as to when this green circle started, but it is believed to have started in 1922 at Bagdu. 

So reference is also being made to the family of Lord Sri Krishna.  Many sadhu saints from all over India come to perform this circumambulation and sit on the circumambulation route blowing incense.  Religious and social organizations also arrange accommodation and meals for pilgrims who come for this circumambulation. 

The Forest Department, Police Department, District Administration, Maha Nagar Palika, Sadhu Samaj and social organizations are working tirelessly to complete this circumambulation smoothly.
