मुर्शिदाबाद में आम की किस्में
मुर्शिदाबाद में आम की अनेक किस्में पाई जाती है. आम की इतनी किस्में और कहीं भी नहीं मिलती. बहुत से आम तो ऐसे हैं जो की और कहीं भी नहीं पाई जाती है. कहा जाता है की यहाँ आम की पांच सौ से ज्यादा किस्मे होती थी. सौ डेढ़ सौ किस्में तो मैंने भी देखी है.
यहाँ के आमों में "कोहीतुर" सबसे महंगा और शानदार होता है. इसे रूई में रख कर पकाया जाता था. कोहीतुर के अलावा विमली, सारंगा, चंपा, जूही चंपा, गुलाब ख़ास, सुंदरी, सादोल्ला (हिमसागर), काला पहाड़, मुलायम जाम, अनारस, भवानी, रानी, बीड़ा, पांजा आदि आम भी प्रसिद्ध है. यहाँ के आम अलग अलग फलों के स्वाद एवं अलग अलग फूलों के सुगंध लिए हुए होते हैं. फाजली आम बहुत ही बड़ा होता है तो अनारस बहुत छोटा. सारंगा आम बहुत मीठा होता है लेकिन अनारस खट्टा मीठा. चंपा आम चंपा फूल की खुसबू समाये रखता है और मुलायम जाम में जामुन का स्वाद पाया जाता है.
इसके अलावा यहाँ का कचमिट्ठी आम भी प्रसिद्ध है. यहं आम कच्चे में भी मीठा होता है. इसे भी शहरवाली लोग बहुत शौक से खाते हैं.
आप को अगर आम की अन्य किस्मों के बारे में जानकारी हो तो कृपया मुझे सूचित करें या कमेंट्स बॉक्स में लिखने की कृपा करें.

शहरवाली समाज में आम खाने की कला
मुर्शिदाबाद आमों के लिए प्रसिद्ध है. यहाँ जितने प्रकार के आम मिलते हैं उतने और कहीं नहीं. यहाँ के नवाबों व रईसों ने आम की अनेक स्वादिष्ट एवं सुगन्धित किस्में विकसित करवाई. यहाँ के आम बड़े नाजुक किस्म के होते हैं. शहरवाली समाज आमों का बड़ा शौकीन था व आज भी है. यहाँ आम खाना एक कला के रूप में विकसित हो गया था. सिर्फ आम खाना ही नहीं परन्तु आम को तैयार करना भी एक कला था.
आम को पेड़ों से यूँ ही नहीं तोडा जाता था. आम तोड़ने में भी नजाकत थी. इसके लिए एक लम्बे बांस एवं हंसिया ( धारदार ) .का उपयोग किया जाता था. हंसिये के ठीक नीचे बांस में एक छिका बंधा होता था. पेड़ से टूटने पर आम उस छिके में आ जाता था. छिके का प्रयोग आम को जमीं पर गिरने से बचाने के लिए होता था. आम को पेड़ से कच्चा ही तोडा जाता था. उन आमों को फिर एक टोकरी में सजाया जाता था व बीच बेच में आम के पत्ते डाल दिए जाते थे जिससे एक आम को दुसरे आम से रगड़ न लगे. रगड़ लगने से आम दागी हो जाता था.
टोकरी में रख कर आमों को घर लाया जाता था और उसे बड़ी हिफाज़त से पकाया जाता था. सामान्यतः आमों को लकड़ी के पाटे पर पत्तों के ऊपर एक एक कर बिछा देते थे एवं उसके ऊपर फिर से पत्ते ढक देते थे. समय समय पर उन आमों को ऊपर नीचे पलता जाता था जिससे वो आम चरों तरफ से बराबर व सही तरीके से पक सके. पके हुए आमों को कई घंटों तक पानी में भिगो कर रखते थे जिससे उसके अन्दर की गर्मी निकल जाये. इस क्रिया से आम स्वास्थ्य वर्धक व स्वादिस्ट एवं शीतल हो जाता था.
शहरवालिओं को आम छिलने में महारत हासिल थी. आम को पहले एक तरफ से छिला जाता था. छिलने के बाद आम के गुदे के ऊपर चक्कू से निशान बनाया जाता था व उसके बाद उसे बनाया जाता था. एक तरफ से आम के फांक निकल लेने के बाद ही उसे दूसरी तरफ से छिला जाता था. इस से आम काला नहीं पड़ता था व उसकी सुन्दरता बनी रहती थी.
परंपरागत रूप से घर के बड़े व मर्दों को गुठली नहीं दी जाती थी. प्रायः कर के घर के बच्छे गुठली चुसना पसंद करते थे या फिर उसका अमरस बनाने में उपयोग कर लिया जाता था.
आम के मौसम में नाते रिश्तेदारों के यहाँ आम भेजने की भी प्रथा थी. इस प्रकार एक दुसरे के यहाँ आमों का आदान प्रदान भी होता था. अपनी अपनी हैसियत के अनुसार कम या ज्यादा आम भेजे जाते थे.

Mahavir Mandal in Azimganj and Jiaganj
Mahavir Mandal was the endeavor of few children in Azimganj in 1977. There was a Chaturmas of Sri Pujya sri Jin Chandra Suri in Azimganj in he year 1977. Few of the children decided to present him a gift.They gathered and start thinking of a gift. Sri Pujya ji was learning Bengali language at that point of time. Late Kali Prasad Bhattacharya, Asst. Head Master of RBSB High school was teaching him the said language. The boys and girls together decided to gift him a Bengali- English dictionary that cost them Rs. 18/ only. It looks little amount but it was a big amount for those children. However, they could collect some Rs. 15-16. Srimati Bhanumati Bachchhawat encouraged the children and paid the rest of the amount. The children gathered to gift the dictionary founded an organization called Mahavir Bal Mandal. Later on the word "Bal" was removed and the name of the organization became "Mahavir Mandal".
I feel proud of myself, even today, as I. Jyoti Kothari was the founder secretary of Mahavir Mandal. Dilip Chhajed was the first President of the same. I was 14 at that time and Dilip was 16. We were the eldest male members. My sister Sujata Kothari and Anita Bachchhawat, daughter of Smt. Bhanumati were among elder female members. None of the members were adult at that time.
Smt. Bhanumati Bachchhawat encouraged them by providing a room in her residence that was used as office of the said org. Later on, Mahavir Mandal was provided with a room in "Bada Upasra" at Sri Neminath temple.
Mahavir Mandal worked very well. We arranged for games and sports, Physical raining, daily coaching of the younger students and organized musical nights (Bhajan sandhya). Mahavir Mandal had started and run music school and sewing schools. It had organized several exhibitions and multifarious functions. The organization had helped the tourists (Yatri) coming for the purpose of pilgrimage. They also organize "Puja" and cleaning in the temples. A "Book Bank" and a library was also established in the office premises. Mahavir Mandal have provided a "Tube well" in Rambagh Dadabadi which is still working there.
Sunil Churoria and Bikas Chhajed also adorn the chair as secretary of Mahavir Mandal. Surprisingly, we three, me, Jyoti Kothari is now working as secretary, Jaipur Khartar Gachchh Sangh; Sunil as secretary Azimganj Sri Sangh and Bikas as secretary, Murshidabad Sangh, Kolkata.
Later on, probably in 1980, Mahavir Mandal was expanded and a new branch was opened in Jiaganj.

मुर्शिदाबाद की विरासत बचाने का प्रयास: मुर्शिदाबाद हेरिटेज डेवलपमेंट सोसायटी
मुर्शिदाबाद हेरिटेज डेवलपमेंट सोसायटी की स्थापना मुर्शिदाबाद की विरासत बचाने का एक प्रयास है. प्राचीन काल में मुर्शिदाबाद का क्षेत्र गौड़ के नाम से जाना जाता था. औरंगजेब के सिपहसालार मुर्शीदकुली खान ने इसे बसाया एवं ढाका के स्थान पर सन १७०४ में इसे बंगाल, बिहार, एवं उडिस्सा की राजधानी बनाया. जब मुर्शीद कुली खान यहं आये तो उनके साथ उनके परम मित्र जगत सेठ मानकचंद गेलडा को भी साथ लाये. जैनों के उत्कर्ष का काल यहाँ पर तभी से शुरू हुआ.
यह नवाबों के शहर के नाम से भी जाना जाता रहा.
मुर्शीदकुली खान के बाद नवाब अलीवर्दी खान, नवाब सुजाउद्दीन आदि ने नवाब की गद्दी संभाली. सिराज़ुद्दौला मुर्शिदाबाद के अंतिम स्वतंत्र नवाब हुए. मुर्शिदाबाद मुग़ल एवं ब्रिटिश शक्तियों के वीच युद्ध स्थल बना. पलाशी के युद्ध में सिराज़ुद्दौला के सेनापति मीर जाफर की गद्दारी के कारन उन्हें ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी के क्लाइव लोयेड के हाथों पराजित होना पड़ा. यहीं से भारत में ब्रिटिश शासन की नींव पड़ी.
अंग्रेजों ने अपनी राजधानी मुर्शिदाबाद से बदल कर कलकत्ते को बना लिया लेकिन मुर्शिदाबाद की गरिमा फिर भी बनी रही. मुर्शिदाबाद अपनी कलाप्रियता के लिए जाना जाता रहा.
मुर्शिदाबाद के अजीमगंज एवं जिआगंज में रहने वाले जैन धर्मावालम्वी ओसवालों ने यहाँ की संस्कृति में रंग भरने में अपना विशिष्ट योगदान दिया. यहाँ के जैन धर्मावलाम्वी शहरवाली के नाम से प्रसिद्द हुए.यहाँ की कला, संस्कृति, स्थापत्य आदि की उन्नति में शहरवाली समाज का योगदान कल्पनातीत है.
शहरवाली समाज के लोग उच्च शिक्षित, राईस व धनवान होने के साथ ही धर्मात्मा भी थे. अनेकों जिन मंदिर एवं दादाबाड़ी उनकी धर्मं परायणता का उदहारण है. शहरवाली समाज द्वारा स्थापित अनेक विद्यालय, महाविद्यालय जहाँ उनकी शिक्षा एवं ज्ञान के प्रति रूचि दर्शाती है वहीँ उन लोगों के द्वारा स्थापित चिकित्सालय उनकी परोपकारिता को.
यहाँ के जैन मंदिर एवं कोठियां शहरवाली समाज के अतीत गौरव की याद दिलाती है. यह एक धर्मं प्राण समाज है एवं अनेक दीक्षाएं इस बात कीगवाह है. अजीमगंज व जियागंज से अनेक साधू - साध्वियां भी हुई हैं.
शहरवाली पोषाक की अपनी अलग विशेषता है. अजीमगंज शहरवाली साथ का खानाभी अपनी विशिष्टताओं से भरपूर है. इनकी विविधता भी निराली है. शहरवाली समाज के रीती रिवाजों में भी यहं की माती की सुगंध है.
