Welcome to DhanRajHastVikra Yuvak Mandal
DhanRajHastVikra Yuvak Mandal was founded in 1980 AD ( Vikram Samvat 2037 )
Though officially founded and named in 1980 AD, roots of DhanRajHastVikra Yuvak Mandal lie
way back in mid 70s.
During late 70s, local talents of the area – i.e. singers, harmonium players, tablaplayers
etcformed an in-house, informal band and celebrated the navratri festival in the
ground -surrounded by adjoining co-operative societies DhanLakshmi, Hastinapur and
Vikramnagar. They used to sing and play garba. Making the resident part of the celebration
and enjoying the Garba Utsav. The group also celebrated the Ganeshotsav, arranged
fun-fares, sport competitions etc.
During this time, an additional Housing society also got constructed -Rajgiri in
adjacent ground.
The young generation of these major four societies and nearby area decided to formalize
the social and cultural activities and decided to found a Mandal. An apt name was
to be given to the Mandal and the members searched for a suitable name. It was decided
to relate the name with the location of the activity – the play ground, the worship
place- surrounded by four major societies. And it was named :Dhan Raj Hast VikraYuvak
mandal.
Garba Utsav and Shri Ganeshotsav being chief activities at the ground, the place became
a place of worship and faith. Also, during the same time, in 1982, in Hastinapur Society
,Mataji’s big temple was founded. This added to the religious flavour in the area
and gave an impetus to the Yuvak Mandal to organize the Navratri Utsav on a further
larger scale. The Matajee’s temple sthapna was a mega show -a grandeur - suiting the
auspicious occasion.
