The controversy that broke out in the former royal family of Udaipur is still going on. Vishwaraj Singh Mewar had darshan of Mewar ruler Dev Eklingji on Wednesday 48 hours after the coronation ceremony. In the subsequent mourning ceremony, he was clothed with a colorful turban. After this, the mourning ceremony of the family was performed at Vishwaraj Singh's house.
However, as per tradition, after the coronation ceremony, there is still no consensus on visiting the Dhoni place in the Udaipur City Palace. The gates of the City Palace remain closed today. A heavy police presence has been deployed outside the City Palace and Samor Bagh to deal with any dispute. Section 163 (formerly 144) is applicable around City Palace.
On Tuesday, there was a round of allegations and counter-allegations on this entire controversy. Vishwaraj Singh Mewar and Lakshyaraj Singh blamed each other for the violent clashes that took place on Monday. Both also accused the government and the district administration. Lakshyaraj said that the entire controversy is happening at the behest of one person sitting in the government.
At the Samor Bagh Palace, Vishwaraj Singh Mewar mourned the nobles and presented them with colorful turbans as per Rang Dastur.
Vishwaraj Singh's supporters had a minor scuffle with the police over their entry into the temple.
Before Eklingji's darshan, rituals began at the Samor Bagh Palace. Vishwaraj Singh Mewar also worshiped Ghodi.
A large number of policemen are stationed outside the Elingji temple. Common devotees will be prevented from entering the temple when Vishwaraj Singh will have darshan.

On Tuesday, the road from Jagdish Chowk to City Palace was blocked by placing iron angles in front of the barricading. The angle was also covered with netting to prevent anyone from approaching the City Palace Gate.
Late on Monday at around 1.30 pm, the district administration put up a notice at the gate of the City Palace to annex the disputed site.
Late on Monday night, supporters of Vishwaraj Singh Mewar clashed with the police over entering the City Palace.
Chittorgarh on Monday had a traditional coronation ceremony of Vishwaraj Singh Mewar of the erstwhile royal family.
Vishwaraj Singh addressed in Mewari language
At the end of the Rang Dastur ceremony, Vishwaraj Singh Mewad addressed in Mewadi language and thanked everyone. He said – In the last two days you have shown how to raise your voice whenever something wrong is done. We have to be together.
The president of Mewar Kshatriya Mahasabha said – Dhuni should be given darshan
Mewar Kshatriya Mahasabha President Ashok Singh Metwala said – From sages to common people, crossing the boundaries of religion, class and sect participated in the coronation ceremony at Fateh Sagar Palace. We completed our religious Vedic tradition. The coronation ceremony of the 77th Dewan of Eklinganathji was held. According to customs, after enthronement, Dhuni is seen with his family members. After that darshan of Eklinganathji is done.
Stop worshiping folk gods, lock doors and throw glass bottles, did the Taliban bring this culture from Afghanistan? Your elder brother came as Diwan. You should have greeted with roses. We will go back in 20 minutes after darshan of Dhuni. We could have freed Mewar from suffering by having the darshan of Eklinganathji.
The administration had issued a notice under Section 145, but the decision was supposed to be taken at 12 noon. The Rajasthan government also needs political will. It is half an hour's work. Take your family members and make them see Dhoni. All the 36 communities should go to their respective homes and celebrate meeting the 77th Diwan.
Which section of the IPC says that if the head of the family visits the premises of his private property, he can be forcibly detained. Samor Bagh is also a part of City Palace. The law should be obeyed. Requesting us to see Dhuni.
Vishwaraj Singh said- I am happy to have darshan in Eklinganathji temple
Vishwaraj Singh Mewar said – First of all, I am happy that today I have visited Eklinganathji temple. Which was supposed to happen 2 days ago, but happened today.
Talks are still going on about Dhuni's sighting. A definite answer should be found today. Darshan of Dhuni is a matter of faith. Now why is he (Lakshyaraj Singh) so adamant, you should ask him, there is no explanation for what he (Lakshyaraj Singh) has said.
If you go into legal matters, you will either say it is a joint family property. If they say it is a private house, if we talk about the will, only the executor can talk about the will, the executor has not come forward till date.
It is not a private house. It is also written in the will that no one is allowed to live in it. To be used only for ceremonial occasions. So it's not theirs anyway.
Vishwaraj Singh said that if he (Lakshyaraj Singh) is saying that a solution can also be found through dialogue. If you accept that it is a joint family property, then everyone has rights. And if you insist, Arvind Singh Ji will speak, he has the authority as administrator.
Ganesha Puja was performed in Hathipol of Udaipur
Vishwaraj Singh reached Samor Bagh after performing Ganesha Puja at Mewar Eklingji temple.
After seeing Eklingji, Vishwaraj Singh worshiped Lord Ganesha at Hathipol in Udaipur city.
As the dispute escalated, the government sent officials from Jaipur
Following the current situation in Udaipur, the government has sent 2 officials from Jaipur. Additional Chief Secretary Home Anand Kumar and ADG Law and Order Vishal Bansal have reached Udaipur.
The two officials reviewed the security arrangements made outside the road leading to Samor Bagh Road and City Palace. With this he surrounded this area of the city. District Collector Arvind Kumar Poswal was also with him.
Vishwaraj Singh performed the puja-archana Before visiting Eklingji, it is customary to leave the house only after worshiping the mare and completing whatever rituals are performed to worship other deities.
A temple is not a place to display any power- Lakshyaraj Singh
Many people are spreading rumors that Eklingji temple is closed, but this is wrong, the temple is never closed for anyone. Everyone can go and perform darshan, but it is wrong to perform Shakti with thousands of people in a temple or a religious place.
Lakshyaraj said – We believe in the tradition and culture of the country
Regarding the darshan of Dhuni as per the tradition of Vishwaraj Singh Mewar, Lakshyaraj said that we all believe in tradition and culture in the country.
But it is not worth endangering and harassing thousands and millions of people just to follow tradition. Tradition cannot be followed by putting people in trouble. Especially when you have sworn to defend your country's constitution.
Vishwaraj Singh said – Eklingji Temple is older than Dhuni
Talking to Bhaskar from Samor Bagh, Vishwaraj said that people of Mewar are raising voice against wrong things. Happy with this but don't take the law into your own hands. He owns the City Palace. So that there is no fight, I am not going.
Monday was a special occasion so it was worth going because of a tradition. How can going to temple be a criminal offense on my part? Will return after visiting the temple. Eklingji temple is older than Dhuni. Eklingji's darshan and Dhuni's darshan are different.
