Rishabh Jain, a resident of Udaipur, has become the first Ironman of the entire city of Lakes – Udaipur. Rishabh is a gym operator and has been into the field of fitness from last 8-10 years. With his hard work and dedication, he has made our Udaipur proud in the entire nation.
What is Ironman 2018?
Ironman Langkawi Malaysia is an annual triathlon organized by World Triathlon Corporation which consists of three endurance activities – cycling (180 km), running (42 km) and swimming (4 km). This grueling race takes place in the month of November in Langkawi, Malaysia.
Ironman Triathlon is widely considered as one of the most difficult one-day sporting events in the world. Every year thousands of people arrive at the event to win the title of Ironman but very few are able to achieve it.
The Ironman of Udaipur
Many pages of struggle, challenges, and victory were unfolded during our conversation with Rishabh. Let’s read what he has to say about his conquest.
What according to you is Ironman triathlon?
To me, Ironman is a race which doesn’t just tests your physical ability but also your mental ability. I remember the night before the race when many of the participants were going haywire with nervousness. That was the time, I realized that it’s about mental strength too. Preparing yourself to get involved in the 17-hour long race and creating the mental balance is no less than a war.
With more than 2400 participants this year, where around 50 participants were Indian, there’s one thing I can surely say that it was very tough.
How much training did you go through to become the Ironman?
The training period of mine was a mere 5 months which was way too less as Ironman requires a training of at least 1 to 1 ½ year. So it was already a challenge to me. For the entire 5 months, I completely engrossed myself in it. I was not a good swimmer or a good cyclist either, but with time and practice, I became one. I remember the struggle when I used to swim even during the winter evening and when I used to trek and run in the scorching sun of summers. Even after the muscle pain from the previous day, I had to train myself. I often thought to quit, but I think my motivation was way to bigger than that.
Now that we’re talking about the motivation, tell us what inspired you to pursue this triathlon?
Some 3-4 years back, I saw a huge picture covering the entire page of the newspaper. As I saw further, it was Milind Soman with a medal of Ironman and a big fat victorious smile on his face. Milind has always been an inspiration to me. The way he stays so fit even in this age has always worked as a catalyst for me. That was the time, I decided that for once in my life, I’ll achieve the title of Ironman.
What all challenges did you face during the race?
Well, there were several. To me, Swimming and cycling was the most difficult part of the race. I used to train in the swimming pool whereas, during the race, we had to swim in the sea where there were lots of harsh waves. And to add up to the difficulty, there arrived the thunderstorm which made several participants quit. For a moment, even I thought to quit but then I just asked myself a single question ‘Is it doable?’ The answer came yes and then there was no stopping before I reached the finish line of the swimming phase.
The second round was the cycling round. The path of cycling had an elevation of 1500 m which I wasn’t prepared about at all. So this one time, I fell down from my bicycle. I had such a harsh fall that as soon as I got up the first thing I checked was is there any serious injury in any part of my body. Luckily there wasn’t. Although, I had scratches on my entire left side, some way or the other I completed it and reached the final level which was running. After the cycling of 180 km, my legs were in tremendous pain. By the end of the race, I couldn’t really move my leg. But then I remembered what a friend of mine told me during such a situation.
He told me to tell my god that it’s only you doing it. If I win today, you win. If I lose today, you lose. And after the longest 14 hours and 29 minutes of my life, I crossed the finish line. Tears of happiness trickled down my face and I knew I have fulfilled my dream along with several others’.
We wish Rishabh all the very best for his future endeavors and to keep making our city proud.

It is possible that you might have heard of the village Menar which resides at a distance of around 52 km from Udaipur. And why wouldn’t you, the village is very well known not just in the city but entire Rajasthan for being the bird’s paradise. Menar Lake in the village witnesses many migratory birds especially in the winter season and that makes it the ideal destination for the bird watchers around the city.
Source: Patrika
These migratory birds include Greater Flamingo, White-Tailed Lapwing, Pelican, Marsh Harrier, Black Kite, Green Sandpiper, Wood sandpiper, Little Ringed Plover, Red-wattled Lapwing, Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail, Common Crane, Bar Headed Goose and many more!
Well, that was about the Menar Lake. But there are some more things that make the village stand out.
The 52 feet Shiv Idol
Otherwise known for being the Bird Village, Menar is also very popular for its 52 feet high idol of Lord Shiv which becomes a point of faith amongst thousands of devotees who come here to worship this gigantic idol of Lord Shiva during Monsoons. The temple which homes the colossal idol is known as Thakur Ji temple. The famous Bollywood movie ‘Dhadak’ has also been shot here.
Temple in the song ‘Pehli Baar’ of movie Dhadak
According to the villagers, the idol has been constructed by the fellow villager, Prabhulal Joshi. The Shiv idol situated in Haridwar inspired Prabhulal to build one in his own village. The construction of the idol has given employment to more than 400 people of the village and the artisans of the idol were called from South India.
Lucky number 52

It is also said that the village has some sort of connection with the number 52. Villagers say that several years ago, Maharana Pratap got so impressed by the bravery and courage of the villagers that he gifted a land of 52 Bigha (a measure of land) to this village. Also, the distance between the district headquarters and the village is also 52 km. This can be the possible reason why the height of the idol is kept 52 feet.
People of Menar village
The chain of amazement doesn’t stop yet! The people of Menar village are no less than anything else here. The credit of Menar being the Bird’s paradise doesn’t solely goes to the ecosystem of the area but also to its people. In recent months, Menar has been in the news for having set an example in community-driven conservation.
The villagers made some fair attempts to save the fishes of the lake. In order to ensure a healthy ecosystem people of Menar village have stopped using the water of the lakes for irrigation purpose, fishing has been prohibited and regular weeding is done to get rid of water hyacinth overgrowth.

They have also set up a group of volunteers known as ‘Pakshi Mitra’ who ensure a safe stay to the flying visitors. From rescuing injured birds to conducting regular anti-poaching patrols, these volunteers have set a benchmark to conserve the ecosystem of the village.
Menaria – A Brahmin community originated from Menar village
Source: National Herald
As mentioned above, the history of Menar goes long back to the time of Maharana Pratap’s reign and even before that. After multiple wars taking place during the period of 1226 AD in Mewar, many people were martyred. The remaining people scattered to find a home in places. The people who went to Nagda (currently known as eklingji) became Nagda Brahmin, people who went to Pali were known as Paliwals and then the people who came to Menar became popular with the name of Menarias.
Many Menaria people from Menar have become cooks to India’s Millionaire
From Dhirubhai Ambani and the Hinduja brothers to Lata Mangeshkar and Juhi Chawla, the Menaria chefs have handled the kitchens of the multi-millionaires as well as many celebrities in the country.
For instance, Yashwant Menaria from the village manages the kitchen of the Hinduja brothers in London. When he was in the age of 14, he took the contract of running the canteen of the multinational company near his village and this was the beginning of all.
Yashwant Menaria | Source: BBC
Poonamchand Aklingdasot is another Menaria has an interesting story himself. Poonamchand used to cook for Lata Mangeshkar’s family before which he managed the household of Dhirubhai Ambani in 1997.
The interesting thing about the Menaria chefs is that many of them have never attended a cooking course and yet they are preparing all the cuisine from Mexican and Italian to Chinese and Continental and earns a handsome six-figure salary (often in addition to free boarding, lodging, and air travel!)
Such is the glory of this village. When are you planning to visit Menar?
