Coastline

It was the weekend and as planned all friends had decided to go to the beach to take a dip. Unfortunately, looking at the crowd there none of us wanted to step in the water nor wanted to wait there for long. We just sat down on a small bridge and admired people dancing and enjoying. We were just tired with the heat and crowd. So, we decided to go around the place and find some good place to sit. 

While we were walking around the place, we reached on the other side of the beach where this cross was. It was so calm and quiet. There was no one to disturb. It was so peaceful. It was just a complete change in the situation.

In life, we come across such situations quite often. We tend to get trapped in the circus of life and cry loud for an escape and fail many times. But what this taught me was really something worth. 

It's like no situation comes to you without a solution. If we didn't go around looking for this place we would never find this serene place. Similarly, if we don't make an effort to come out of the situation then no one can help us.

 Remember things can only work really well, when you decided to help your own self.

  A piece of land nudged between the little vaddo of Maina and the neighboring village of Salvador do Mundo. Lies an unusual rock carving, that distinct itself from the famous rock art carving found at various rock art sites.( Pansaimol, Usagalimol).

 These carving have an unusal pattern that are different from the rest. They have twelve little crosses, one-foot-deep large hole and one large Axe carved on to the rock. The key to this mysterious rock carving have not been identified. But a local legend explains the origin of the same. 

The folklore

The village of Maina, were constantly been attacked by dacoits. There were frequent complains by the villager's of being raided by the robbers. The villagers used to store gold and other expensive items, in their house itself as there were no banks during that time. So, it was quiet easy for the robbers to raid into any house. The villagers found it very difficult to trace the dacoits or even  ask for help. As the daciots had surrounded the entire area and threatened the ones who helped the villagers. The worried and depressed villagers decided to shift to another safer place, so that they could get rid of dacoits. 

One day  it happened so that,  one of the villagers was  heading towards the Connir hill.  When he spotted the dacoits camping at the hill. He rushed back and informed the others about it. The men from the village gathered in a large number, and took the dacoits by surprise. The dacoits were either caught or killed on the spot. They numbered twelve.  So the ancestors recorded this event on a rock . They carved out twelve little crosses, one large axe and a one-foot-deep large hole on a piece of rock.
So, later over the period of time the villagers built a cross and called  Bara Zannancho Khuris (The Cross of 12 Persons), or Bara Chorancho Khuris (12 Robbers' Cross) in remembrance of this event.
