🌳 ५,००० वर्ष पुराना वृक्षसँग जोडिएको जनविश्वास
अग्निशिला परिसरमा रहेका केही पुराना वृक्षहरूबारे पनि रोचक धार्मिक जनविश्वास पाइन्छ। किंवदन्तीअनुसार करिब ५,००० वर्षअघि एक ब्राह्मण यात्रीले हिँड्दा प्रयोग गरेको लौरो/लठ्ठी जमिनमा गाडिएको र त्यहीबाट यी वृक्षहरू उम्रिएको विश्वास गरिन्छ। 🌳🙏
🪔 अखण्ड ज्योति
अग्निशिलाको अर्को विशेषता यहाँ रहेको अखण्ड बत्ती हो। धार्मिक विश्वासअनुसार यो ज्योति हजारौँ वर्षदेखि निरन्तर बलिरहेको मानिन्छ।
स्थानीय जनविश्वासमा यो पवित्र ज्योति विभिन्न अद्भुत माध्यमबाट प्रज्वलित हुन सक्ने कथाहरू पनि पाइन्छन्—
☀️ सूर्यको तेजबाट
🪨 ढुंगा–ढुंगा रगडेर
🪵 काठ–काठ रगडेर
👩 महिलाको नाभिबाट
💧 पानीबाट
यी कुराहरू धार्मिक आस्था, किंवदन्ती र स्थानीय जनविश्वासमा आधारित छन्, जसले नेपालको प्राचीन आध्यात्मिक तथा सांस्कृतिक परम्परालाई अझ रोचक बनाउँछन्।
