It is also about my conversation with nature and with the people who loved it. Local food tests and hotels near tourist spots are part of my travelogue. My tour may be solo backpacker, with family members or with friends. But it does not matter how one to travel. It should serve the reason and the purpose of one's journey for exploring nature which may inspire you to live a journey by yourself.Manoj Nikhilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523781610353523055noreply@blogger.comBlogger16125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483822082798343648.post-64508451518837460222021-10-13T23:51:00.108+05:302023-12-10T23:07:21.150+05:30Maa Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati: The Land Of Mystic Spiritualism<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 27.6px;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Maa Kamakhya temple, Guwahati: The land of Mystic Spiritualism</span></span></b></h2><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOPq7RGcQRd8pXDNpkxvDXbXRG8N_N0DqB6eQcpJNFKNtrUWfnbEBsMwHcj_-awQ70bcpuPr2j0jdQ7IDIDNNFn7eRRdPmm-EaLx47KbdThJwKeEk-MJQ9mRm97bZ_REZOalxl23bwZDj21vSy00QPnxIaHCFRi81Irbv4ZD4JrsavCefWB9kvOnhN=s427" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Maa Kamakhya Temple Guwahati" border="0" data-original-height="241" data-original-width="427" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOPq7RGcQRd8pXDNpkxvDXbXRG8N_N0DqB6eQcpJNFKNtrUWfnbEBsMwHcj_-awQ70bcpuPr2j0jdQ7IDIDNNFn7eRRdPmm-EaLx47KbdThJwKeEk-MJQ9mRm97bZ_REZOalxl23bwZDj21vSy00QPnxIaHCFRi81Irbv4ZD4JrsavCefWB9kvOnhN=w640-h362" title="Maa Kamakhya Temple Guwahati" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Maa Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Maa Kamakhya Temple </b>is sacred for tantric and eternity seekers that’s why I

VIP pass for special VIP person and this VIP pass is available on ticket
counter near to temple complex. I could just imagine the crowd during Kali
puja. To accommodate the long queue of devotees, the temple trust has divided
the courtyard of the temple into very narrow lanes barricaded with grills.
These narrow lanes give the feeling of your entrapment of life <i>i.e. </i>‘Maya’. Saubhagya Kund is visible from the barricade, in which devotees take bath before the worship of the mother, but it is not necessary.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgraxN6ZCnvsCSygRn7OJkE4-YnI9qvK3DA-w-gHxXg0vLP8BfiL3E-VaSCn5x-HJltEnyjdfcV7_u8FMoq3gpW3amsji0n37XQhfCD1IylD58Aump2hQh-hw6AGp9E5ZUVPa4dN4T9azFo3m_3OAkczBQA-mHDxf3TPIjOsE0JX_Ayk80qtX7GXqbs=s900" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Saubhagya Kund at Kamakhya Temple" border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="900" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgraxN6ZCnvsCSygRn7OJkE4-YnI9qvK3DA-w-gHxXg0vLP8BfiL3E-VaSCn5x-HJltEnyjdfcV7_u8FMoq3gpW3amsji0n37XQhfCD1IylD58Aump2hQh-hw6AGp9E5ZUVPa4dN4T9azFo3m_3OAkczBQA-mHDxf3TPIjOsE0JX_Ayk80qtX7GXqbs=w640-h312" title="Saubhagya Kund at Kamakhya Temple" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><b>Saubhagya Kund at Kamakhya Temple</b></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The long wait to
meet Maa, force us to think about who we are and why we are here. I was in this
cerebration and could also feel the spiritual vibes in the queue. Lots of
people were chanting “<span lang="HI" style="color: #211922; font-family: "Mangal","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">क्लींक्लींकामाख्याक्लींक्लींनमः</span>”, Kamkahya Maa Beej Mantra. I also joined
the chorus. It took almost three hours to reach the temple garbhagriha. Maa was
testing the patience of her devotees-‘bhakts’, but eventually she bestows her
love on us. It was very close to 13.00 so priests were in hurry for letting all
devotees pass through. At 13.00, the temple door closes for prasadam for Maa.
We were the last visitor before they close the door, so we got some ample time
to have mental discourse with Maa.</span> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Some important notes:-</b></span></span></p><ul><li><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><b>Temple opens the door at 8.00 AM for the darshan.</b></span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><b>The door closes at 1.00 PM

children, then do not forget to take water, juice, fruits, and biscuits with
you. In general, it will take you two to three hours to reach temple garbhagriha
so one should mentally prepare to stand for such a long time. It is treacherous
for old people and young children.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 27.6px;"><span id="topic2" style="color: red; font-size: large;">Mythology: A folklore on Kamakhya Temple</span></span></h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Maa Kamakhya
temple is built in reverence to Goddess Sati, one of several incarnations of
Maa Shakti. It is said that the Kamakhya Temple is the site of a mythological legend. Daksha,
the son of Brahma performed a celestial “Yagna Kund” and intentionally didn’t
invite his youngest daughter Sati and her husband Lord Shiva. Goddess Sati was
not happy with her father’s behaviour. Despite reservation from Lord Shiva, Sati
went for the ceremony, but she felt insulted by her father. She couldn’t tolerate
the further insult and thus immolate herself in yagna fire. Upon hearing this
news, Lord Shiva, in his wrath created Virabhadra and Bhadrakali. Along with
Shiva’s attendant ‘bhootgana’, Virabhadra marched to the kingdom of Daksha.
They destroyed his Yagna and Virabhadra decapitated Daksha’s head. Shiva’s
anger later pacifies, and he forgave Daksha. He returned him his life but with
the head of a goat. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBC9phH4B5Dj9BfQfxoHrxSLXLlccIJJDcS6RBizH03PoeywVQtJ8xlqpWGxfPpnx_EVsRk56_ppt-u-tuymSz65PPMatC-nWKVvSPwet4KmWnGxEA33fjdwKBYa14DvnfFEU_n3xwaYU-HG3bDp2sLfu0kmJiKqrrCq2ghOpcx7Dxe919VYwpEB7k=s1000" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Nigh view of Maa Kamakhya Temple Complex" border="0" data-original-height="559" data-original-width="1000" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBC9phH4B5Dj9BfQfxoHrxSLXLlccIJJDcS6RBizH03PoeywVQtJ8xlqpWGxfPpnx_EVsRk56_ppt-u-tuymSz65PPMatC-nWKVvSPwet4KmWnGxEA33fjdwKBYa14DvnfFEU_n3xwaYU-HG3bDp2sLfu0kmJiKqrrCq2ghOpcx7Dxe919VYwpEB7k=w640-h358" title="Nigh view of Maa Kamakhya Temple Complex" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><b>Nigh view of Maa Kamakhya Temple Complex</b></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Yet upon seeing the charred body of Shakti, Shiva
went into a trance state of deep grief and anger. Shiva performed celestial
dance: ‘Tandav’; uncontrolled destruction everywhere. Thus Vishnu decided to
console Shiva, and to do so, he cut the body of Sati into 51 pieces (some say
108). The body pieces fell on the earth and place where it fell revered with the
power of Shakti. These places are worshipped by Hindu pilgrimage and called
Shakti Peetha. And on the Neelanchal hill or Kamgiri, Maa Sati’s Yoni (female
genital) fell. Thus, since then people worship Maa Sati at Kamakhya temple. The
sanctum of the temple is below the ground level and the idol is consists of a
rock with a fissure representing a female genital. This vulva-shaped depression
is worshipped as Maa Kamakhya. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9NPlrw6MEv_ctGQ62ePl8ghtuk-a14-aU6klQUyFGy54Ii7ObHFUHXEuIuFuW7InnAF52NkSNu0bLc15tD_9Bz7TiCVCcszbEAX-0cdY8rVpHMyGaLgM1rohk-9qBeYB4wBXKXdeVOjrTBEHTkMkDz-WKcTBWbb3dfSgPqhUcFmxKZ5G4Hlwc7UVV=s1100" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="685" data-original-width="1100" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9NPlrw6MEv_ctGQ62ePl8ghtuk-a14-aU6klQUyFGy54Ii7ObHFUHXEuIuFuW7InnAF52NkSNu0bLc15tD_9Bz7TiCVCcszbEAX-0cdY8rVpHMyGaLgM1rohk-9qBeYB4wBXKXdeVOjrTBEHTkMkDz-WKcTBWbb3dfSgPqhUcFmxKZ5G4Hlwc7UVV=w640-h398" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Rock naturally representing female genital at Garbhagriha</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This sanctum is

archaeological aspects of the temple tell a different story. The inscriptions
found in the Nilachal region are dated as early as the 13<sup>th</sup> century
with a majority from the 5<sup>th</sup> century. These are clay seal and copper
plate inscriptions, popularly called Kamarupa inscriptions. Temple may predate
the establishment of the Kamarupa dynasty.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It could be a religious sacrificial site for Khasis,
Garos, Kiratas and Naraka’ Austroasiatic local tribal goddess (Kuldevi): Kamei-Kha
which was later called Kamakhya by the Hindus. Khasis and Garos belong to
Indo-Mongoloid, an admixture of both Aryan and non-Aryan blood, living in the
hills of northeast India. These tribes were worshipers of Shiva. The cult of the mother goddess worshipped in the Yoni symbol is opposed to Shiva. Thus, Nilachal
hills must have belonged to matriarchal tribes and were later adopted by Khasis
and Garos. And this is evident from the presence of Shiva-Lingam in Umananda,
the Peacock Island.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhxNdcSgBaahzp9vIX7eumo0-JGVB6RAR-I9Pi-igza2IDzJDS-ozhMhKwQSoB0WqZiZCAQmXevvGK1UG7W8qtxIiXeJm6wdB9aeb1LJ7EKluNDipcXyIz01rHKfZTLyJ9Iz3rQ_DMmnK5ViJNaZTi1pZugzSJl1ojLpjE4g0Z6ioFSIvayTRaY1h5K=s1000" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Ritual Sacrifice Place" border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="1000" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhxNdcSgBaahzp9vIX7eumo0-JGVB6RAR-I9Pi-igza2IDzJDS-ozhMhKwQSoB0WqZiZCAQmXevvGK1UG7W8qtxIiXeJm6wdB9aeb1LJ7EKluNDipcXyIz01rHKfZTLyJ9Iz3rQ_DMmnK5ViJNaZTi1pZugzSJl1ojLpjE4g0Z6ioFSIvayTRaY1h5K=w640-h354" title="Ritual Sacrifice Place" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Ritual Sacrifice Place</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Thus, Shaivism
and Saktism cults were popular among tribes of north-eastern India and predate the
Aryan period. The Kalika Purana and Yogini tantra formed the guidelines for
such practices. Later with the Aryan invasion, such practices were inculcated in
Aryan culture and later formed an important sect in Hinduism. Hinduism
flourished in north-eastern India via royal patronage. The earliest written
inscription </span><i>i.e., </i><span>epigraphy about Kamakhya temple is from Vanamalavarmadeva
of the Mlechchha dynasty of the mid-9</span><sup>th</sup><span> century. The Tezpur plates indicate
a massive temple of Nagara architectural style; pointing out Mlechchha rulers
were patronage of the Kamakhya temple. Later, rulers of the Pala dynasty of

India worshipped Kamakhya.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 115%;">During the 10th century, Kamakhya Temple was the famous
centre for Tantrik worship/sacrifices and black sorcery which made the image of
this temple very mysterious among the people. Meanwhile, a very mysterious cult
was emerged called Buddhism Vajrayana cult which is the same as Hindu
Vampanth/Vamachara cult. The practice of animal and bird sacrifice which has
been going on since ancient times continues in this temple even today but then
this should be stopped in the Kamakhya temple because the mother never wants to
sacrifice any innocent living.</span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 115%;">The modern temple of Kamakhya has a lineage to

Narayan built it during his reign. And it was later supported by rulers of the Ahom
Kingdom. Rudra Singha and Siba Singha of Ahom Kingdom were the main patronages
of the temple. He established the Mahant culture in the Kamakhya temple. On a
separate note, the Nilachal architecture of the temple was inspired by a mix of
Islamic and Nagara styles and by the both Hindu and Muslim craftsmen of Bengal.</span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p><div><div><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p></div><h2 style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 115%;"><span id="topic5" style="color: red;">Fairs/Festivals of the Kamakhya Temple</span></span><span face=""Calibri","sans-serif"" style="color: #0070c0; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HI; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span></span></h2></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Maa

is water from spring, symbolic representing fluid of the Maa Kamakhya’s Yoni. Here
a piece of red cloth is given to devotees called “<i>Angabastra</i>” which is
used to cover the stone yoni during menstruation days. It is considered highly
auspicious and powerful.

In which Bengal and Assam have their importance of Durga Puja, but Durga
Puja is celebrated differently in Kamakhya Temple. The religious rituals act
here is unique and different from other places such as the ritualistic bath of
the deity (Pithasthan/shaktipeeth). There is a traditional practice of offering
sacrifices in which pigeons, buffaloes, fishes, goats, sugarcanes, gourds, and
pumpkins are sacrificed.</span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;">Kumari Puja -</span></span></span></li></ul><p></p></div></div><div><div><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: medium;">It means worship of a virgin
girl which occupies a prominence without which honour to Maa Sakti is not
complete. Here, the virgin girl represents Maa Kamakhya and is decorated, like a mother
goddess. It is believed that this ritual makes Maa Kamakhya happy and gives
blessings by removing all the sorrows and misfortune of her devotees.</span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">There is a
hidden message in every act of Hinduism. For example, virgin girl worship also adored
the value of women and celebrate womanhood. Philosophically, it shows the power
of creation, stability, and destruction. But it is also a matter of introspection
whether we respect women in today's context. Is girl, maiden, or woman able to
feel their importance and power? On one hand, we celebrate the yearly menstruation
cycle at Maa Kamakhya temple and on other hand, we consider female menstruation
as impure. Maybe it is time for us to learn from our own ritual's hidden meaning.
It is long overdue to celebrate feminism at par with masculinity.</span></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><h2 style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><b><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height: 27.6px;"><span id="topic6" style="color: red; font-size: large;">How to reach Kamakhya Temple -</span></span></b></h2><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: medium;">Guwahati is well connected to all major cities of India

am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who
merit worship. Thus, God has established me in many places with many homes to
enter and abide in. Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them, – each
man who sees, breathes, hears the word outspoken. They know it not, yet I
reside in the essence of the Universe. Hear, one and all, the truth as I
declare it. I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that Gods and men
alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him
nourished, a sage, and one who knows Brahman. I bend the bow for Rudra
[Shiva], that his arrow may strike, and slay the hater of devotion. I rouse and
order battle for the people, I created Earth and Heaven and reside as their
Inner Controller. On the world's summit, I bring forth sky the Father: my home
is in the waters, in the ocean as Mother. Thence I pervade all existing
creatures, as their Inner Supreme Self, and manifest them with my body. I
created all worlds at my will, without any higher being, and permeate and dwell
within them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p><div style="text-align: left;">

judiciously and should give priority to family and loved ones.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was lost in my thoughts; me being silent for a

use of inhabitants of Siri which was originally known as </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Hauz I Alai</span><span style="text-align: justify;">
after his name. Originally the tank was much larger than then it is today.
After the end of the Alauddin Khalji dynasty, lack of maintenance led to

visitors in later in the afternoon. It is already evening, so we headed to the
arched area to bid goodbye to the sun and welcome the moon on the earth. Seeing
Kushdil enchanted with the beauty of the sunset, I asked him, "how was the
day today? He says it was quite a day. Maybe next time we should have both
families together to explore and have a picnic here. Looking
into his eyes, I could easily read his mind; for sure, he will, here again, but

series, I have tried to cover all the famous things of
heritage sites around Hauz Khas’. I think, all these
historical sites are the best visiting places in Delhi for a
family trip, especially with children. This series gives a complete trip, tour
and travel guide on how to explore famous
historical sites of the Hauz Khas area. Its historical information and its importance
are very useful for the children. If you have not read my last two posts,

To me, Kamakhya was a synonym for Guwahati which is the capital of Assam state. My mother is a religious person. During the one of religious discourse, I heard about the mystic demure of Maa Shakti and Lord Shiva and importance of Kamakhya Temple and Umananda Temple. Kamakhya Temple is the living place of Maa Shakti and beautiful Shiva Temple (Umananda Temple is also called Shiva Temple) is the living place of Lord Shiva. The earliest story which I could remember about this place was blood seeping through the rock in a temple. Being a child, I was curious and at the same time, its mysticism made me have deep revere for this place in my early childhood. Despite this, I never got a chance to visit to explore Kamakhya and Umananda Island (Shiva Temple). By the grace of Maa (Mother) Kamakhya, last year winter, I got an opportunity to make my trip to Umananda Island (beautiful Shiva Temple) and Kamakhya Temple. My mother would like to visit Maa Kamakhaya Temple and the beautiful Shiva Temple, we all agreed. Especially Umananda Island is which is the most beautiful and the world smallest inhabited riverine island situated in the middle of the Brahmaputra river in the city of the Guwahati. </font><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Island in the world which I have explored in this Tour & Travel Blog.

It is the most sacred holy places for Shakti worship in Hindu religion. It is also popularly as a Shakti Peeth (Temple) among Saakt Sadhak (worshiper). Shakti Peetha is the place where the land is highly revered for self - enlightenment. It is considered that cosmic energy is vibrant at this place. This is a reason, why we see flocks of sadhus at these places. The mythological aspects of this temple will be covered in the next part of this Tour & Travel Blog.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ2p8eT2TwdxGZmzwoL6a14s4r2Bcq_vDOkkqvplwy1edWPZx46Geqwh34tfpPeAA1_DlfB82sEudZAmnl9D9c4HXDAMhyGmGV1X6OpmSWQMk07VLxEosrks-X5uCrdzT5-Ga_EWMAWU8/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Trip to Brahamputra River around Umananda Island" border="0" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="740" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ2p8eT2TwdxGZmzwoL6a14s4r2Bcq_vDOkkqvplwy1edWPZx46Geqwh34tfpPeAA1_DlfB82sEudZAmnl9D9c4HXDAMhyGmGV1X6OpmSWQMk07VLxEosrks-X5uCrdzT5-Ga_EWMAWU8/d/Sunset+View-6.jpg" title="Brahamputra River view" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#f57c00"><font size="4">Brahmaputra River view</font><br /></font><br /></b></td></tr></tbody></table></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">This is the largest and the fastest-growing city in the state of Assam, India. It is situated on the south bank of the Brahmaputra river and the foothills of the Shilong plateaus. It is connected to other states via road, train and air route. Other countries around the world are connected to Guwahati via Air routes. There are many good and cost-effective hotels are available around Guwahati for tourist persons. As per the epics, it is one of the ancient cities during Mahabharata period. It was the capital of the kings <i>Narakasura</i> and <i>Bhagadatta</i>. In the very early existence of this city, it was known as <i>Pragjyotishpura</i> and was the capital of Assam under the Kamarupa Kingdom. Guwahati is on the neck of transit to the North-East Himalayan valley, it was always an important city. It is the centre of social, political, business and cultural activities in the mythological, medieval and modern periods. Though constructions from the early ancient period are not in existence anymore some of the Medieval eras of AHOM kingdom's construction is still seen today. For example, today's Fancybazaar was <i>Bhorphukan</i> residence of this kingdom. In the modern period, lots of temples, ramparts, etc. were constructed in and around Guwahati. And during the independence struggle, it was the main epic centre of activists- <i>Tarun Ram Phukan</i>, which was also of his birthplace.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">There are lots of tourist spot in or around the Guwahati but most important tourist spots are following- </font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">1) Kamakhaya Temple, 2) Umananda Island, 3) Guwahati Zoo, 4) Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, 5) Botanical Garden, 6) Hazo Temple, 7) Vashishtha Temple, 8) Bhubaneswari Temple, 9) Ugratara Temple.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">We had only two days planned for our trip to Guwahati. Hence, we couldn't cover all these places probably next time. Also, this was a religious trip and hence we covered only Kamakhaya Temple, Umananda Island and local markets for souvenirs and for local cuisine.</font></div><h2 style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b51200; font-family: helvetica;"><font size="5">Trip to Guwahati, world most beautiful and unique temple-</font></span></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">In late December, my children's school was closed. Also, my nephew college was also closed. Our plan was to go to Guwahati from Kolkata. My younger brother had also reached Patna from London via Delhi. After spending a few days in Patna, he along with my mother reached Kolkata. Two days before the scheduled Guwahati trip. I along with my family members also arrived at Kolkata. It was a great reunion;<span> I think, we all were meeting after three years. It was a great moment; my mother was overwhelmed with affection and love. This type of moment is very memorable. Together we were nine people, more the merrier for this trip. Next day we booked two cars to reach Sealdah Railway station. We started our journey from Kalighat to Sealdah railway station. It was not a rush hour, so we expected to reach the destination in 30 min. Our train was supposed to leave in 1 hr., so we had 30 min buffer time at the station. Near Vidyapati Sethu, Raza Bazar our car stuck in a traffic jam. In the car, we were bitten anxious, as our train was scheduled to depart and we were stuck in the famous Kolkata jam. Looking at our anxiousness, our taxi driver investigated real-time traffic data from google and decided to detour via Bowbazar towards Sealdah station. Thanks to his presence of mind, we reached Sealdah Junction before the scheduled time in the evening.</span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span><br /></span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">Our train's Kamroop express reaches the platform on time Travelling alone during college days is something, but the joy of travelling with family is something unforgettable. The train departs from the station on its scheduled time <i>i.e,</i> <span> sharp 18:00 hrs. This journey is also a kind of special as this is going to be my son's birthday trip with such a large group. During the whole trip, my son Chaitanya entertained us with his funny and innocent childish statements. It was a long journey, going to last for 19 hours. We booked a small corridor <span>seat ( six main seats and two side seat of 3rd AC coach ), so it was almost like a family cabin. After having a light meal, we played some card games and played dumb charades. It was getting late and we felt that our co-passengers were getting disturbed, so we decided to go to bed. Anyway, the train is supposed to reach Guwahati next day afternoon, so we were relaxed. When we woke up the next day late in the morning, we noticed that our train is halted at a small station. I can't recall where we were, but our train hasn't reached Siliguri yet. Probably there was a superfast train on the route, and they halted our train to let this superfast train to pass. This is very common practice in India; preferences are given to superfast train over fast or passenger trains. Also, some stretch of the journey onwards from Siliguri has a single lane, so it also causes overloading of the track.</span></span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span><span>In India, we are building a bullet train track from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and another hand our normal train never reaches on time. I hope our government rather building new infrastructure; They upgrade the pre-existing infrastructures such that train never runs late. In Germany or Japan, if trains are late then department of transport issue refund and in India long journey trains if reaches within 4 hours of the scheduled journey then it is kind of achievement. Our train reached Guwahati station; two hours late from its scheduled time i.e., 15:00 hrs.<span> </span></span></span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span><span><span>We pre-booked rooms in Hotel Dynasty, closed to the railway station. We checked the review of hotels on google and choose best to our needs and budget. We were quite tired after our journey. Therefore, after reaching the hotel, we decided to take rest rather than venturing out to see nearby Fancybazar. We refresh ourselves and then order in hotel room service for dinner from a local restaurant. The hotel manager and serviceman were very accommodative. On, their suggestions, we have chosen all local cuisine from the menu. There are lots of popular Assamese dishes, but we restrict ourselves to the vegetarian menu.

We all decided to explore Umananda Island and its adjoining place first and next day we will explore Kamakhaya Temple. After we finished our breakfast, we talked to the hotel manager about our trip. He made a complete guide to Umananda Island and its beautiful surrounding area. The Island is 7.5 Km from our hotel to Umanand Island. There are two ways to reach Umananda Temple (Umananda Island); one is from <i>Sukleshwar Ghat</i>, also known by <i>Fancybazar Ferry Ghat</i>. It is very near to Umananda Island, another route is via <i>Uzanbazar Ferry Ghat</i>, also called <i>Kachari Ghat.</i> We choose the route via <i>Uzanbazaar Ferry Ghat</i> to reach Umananda Island. For this, we booked two three-wheeler taxi to <i>Uzanbazar Ferry Ghat</i> which is just opposite to Umanand Island. It took almost half an hour to reach the <i>Kachari Ghat</i>. The taxi driver charged us Rs. 20 Per head. It is a beautiful and buzzing market next to the bank of the Brahmaputra river. The view of Brahmaputra river and Umananda Island is mesmerizing, almost giving the feeling of the Island afloat on waters of Brahmaputra river. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxw8vQuUx4cG2NVwUQPwJhenVDhDSthFFlngm1irEHXgMGEpauQ2myvb0H9TzQe-x4a_DYehMIk6sHH0tu7cxY33TaRRMLWZJOCndi5MmFNbpyxxZ5QwbFP_PP17Cmgs2I4k4_aOCmu0E/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Biodiversity ecosystem of Umananda Island" border="0" data-original-height="293" data-original-width="578" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxw8vQuUx4cG2NVwUQPwJhenVDhDSthFFlngm1irEHXgMGEpauQ2myvb0H9TzQe-x4a_DYehMIk6sHH0tu7cxY33TaRRMLWZJOCndi5MmFNbpyxxZ5QwbFP_PP17Cmgs2I4k4_aOCmu0E/w640-h324/Nature1.jpg" title="Umananda Ecosystem Nature View" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#f57c00" size="4">Umananda Ecosystem Nature View<br /></font></b><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4">It was almost past 9 AM in the morning when we reached Kachari Ghat.

Though the rest of my family members were sitting on the rock at the edge of the island, I decided to walk around a bit to enjoy the natural scenery. Unconsciously I was also looking for a seer who could enlighten me on the mysticism of this island. I found a seer sitting at a corner of the temple complex. I decided to have some small talk. I was astonished to see the light on this face. He had very sharp features. I greeted him but he seems to be unfazed by my greeting. After seeing my persistent he greeted me with a smile. I was almost hypnotized by his smile. I asked perspective and reverence of this temple from him. He laughed at me and told me; it is beyond human comprehension. How one could measure which is infinite. One needs to be infinite to feel infinity. And again laughed at me, I feel his laugher very mysterious, but seeing the people around, had the courage to sit there. After that a mysterious voice came to my ears, asking about my yogini mother whom I met 10 years back at the bank of river Gangas in Benaras (Varanasi). I was a bit amazed by this, I felt that this seer is not a common seer. He is one who could see through you. I touched his feet and asked him to enlighten me more about my yogini mother. He told me that it is again up to her; when the time will come. she will meet you. Last time when I met her in Benaras, my yogini mother told me that she is retreating to Tibet for enlightenment and since then I am not in touch with her. Probably someday I will have discourse with her. He enlightened me about the reverence of this temple too. According to him, this island is full of Tantrik and Aghoris. The movement of high-level energy seekers always remains here. Especially during on Shivratri night and on the full dark moon (Amavasya) Monday's night, this island revered by Shiva mantra. Common pilgrims and visitors cannot recognize them. While he was telling me the story of the Umananda and then I hear the voice of my mother. She was telling me lets go it is the time to leave. It is already three o'clock and the last boat would be leaving soon. I looked around and found that I was lying on the grass and the seer was nowhere around. Was I dreaming or was it real? I can't say. As he said spirituality is something beyond common comprehension.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqGiP5ULo5tbAhrnIWgIhTh_PrdQz9H8HFT8HjKPiCD5nSC8xK-SXz4RCYf3hZqMfMwbhm2DaMKyhj_Xwe83BICFWmcOwi7KpvYNEjeZvwLckR8J8P8wT7hCvb1O8G4a75rOdyeGwcCTs/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Golden Langur" border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="374" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqGiP5ULo5tbAhrnIWgIhTh_PrdQz9H8HFT8HjKPiCD5nSC8xK-SXz4RCYf3hZqMfMwbhm2DaMKyhj_Xwe83BICFWmcOwi7KpvYNEjeZvwLckR8J8P8wT7hCvb1O8G4a75rOdyeGwcCTs/w640-h328/Untitled.jpg" title="Golden Langur" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#f57c00"><font size="4">Golden Langur<br /></font><br /></font></b></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4">My younger brother said that there is a Lord Hanuman temple nearby and we should all visit that too; which was our last stop on this island.

This made Shiva angry and he burnt <i>Kamdev (God of love in Hindu mythology ) </i>and this island is made of that ash.</font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="helvetica" size="4">This island is also called <i>Urvashi Island </i>because this place is the residence of Goddess Urvashi; she brought here the nectar for Mothe Kamakhya.</font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="helvetica" size="4">A big fair is organized here on the occasion of Shivaratri, Shiva Chaturdasi and on Shravan month. On that day, devotees from far place to come here to offer prayers. And all fares its special significance. One important point is that when Amavasya falls
on Monday are the highest importance among devotees & tantric. So on this date, the highest footfall is observed.</font></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;">According to a legend, In <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Dwapara Yuga</span>, a
merchant was living in the village near to this hill. His cow comes to this
hill every day and gives milk particularly one place. When the merchant heard this,
he excavated at that place. For his astonishment, he found a Shivalinga.On the
same night, Lord Shiva came to his dream and asked him to build a temple on
this hill. And this way, Umananda temple came to existence. Later with the
time, this hill got cut off from the mainland and formed the island.</font></span></li></ul></div></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica"><font size="4">B) </font><font color="#3367d6" size="5">Historical aspects of Umananda island-</font></font></h3><div><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><font face="helvetica">It is the smallest inhabited river island in the

very beautiful. We decided to take a private boat for a few hours to <span style="line-height: 1.5;">make my
trip to around Umananda Island</span> and enjoy the serenity of the river and
watch the sunset from the boat. There were many private boats offering <span style="line-height: 1.5;">tour
services</span> to <span style="line-height: 1.5;">make my trip to around Umananda Island</span>. My mother
negotiated with one of the private boat service providers. It is good to negotiate
the price; boatman first asked Rs 1200 but after some persistent negotiation he
agreed on Rs 700 for two hours boat ride. We had bought some snacks and drinks
from a local <span style="line-height: 1.5;">hotel</span> then we all boarded the boat. Our boatman started
rowing our boat. The view around <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Umanada Island</span> looked amazing due to
this reason, I always to say that <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Umananda Island</span> is the <span style="line-height: 1.5;">most
beautiful island in the world</span>. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; line-height: 1.5;"> </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; line-height: 1.5;">The waves of <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span>
were rocking our boats, making it to swing along with it. We were sitting on
the roof of the boat. From here, the view of the river was beautiful, especially the view of the sunset. When sunsets in the horizon of <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra River</span>, its water
turn golden and the sky was reddish-yellow, the view one must experience. The
golden streaks on </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; line-height: 1.5;">the Brahmaputra river give me feeling of the pathway
to heaven. No wonder why there are lots of couplets on this mystique river. Maybe this is also the reason why <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Assam</span> and Bangladesh have given so many
poets. </span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX9TcKqLvSiYYgc32LpYZt9iPj3kf4NQuxhaUilwLRSp6msoMPFQFQOSfyyvbnVWvneolzW3w3XjS1AVlRpNYiVJ_5P6HRUJbaGOD6huGcyOcuuuMBU52X-wECTuBUtE2m0nzbmbDmRBY/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="River boat at Umananda Island" border="0" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="740" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX9TcKqLvSiYYgc32LpYZt9iPj3kf4NQuxhaUilwLRSp6msoMPFQFQOSfyyvbnVWvneolzW3w3XjS1AVlRpNYiVJ_5P6HRUJbaGOD6huGcyOcuuuMBU52X-wECTuBUtE2m0nzbmbDmRBY/w640-h424/Boat+at+Umanand-4.jpg" title="River boat at Umananda Island" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#f57c00" size="4">Riverboat at Umananda Island</font></b><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">My sister sang a <span style="line-height: 1.5;">beautiful</span> couplet in Bangla: <em style="line-height: 1.5;">Mahabahu <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span>
mahamilonor tirtha; Kata jug dhoriaahiseprakaxi, xomonnayarartha…..This couplet
popularly known as Mahabahu <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span> sang by Bupen Hazarika, most
famous poet from Assam. </em>In this couplet Bupen Da calls the <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span> a pilgrimage at the
confluence of Madhavadeva, Sankradeva, Fakir Ajan and Guru Teg Bhadur;
preaching for monotheism. My sister is influenced by Bupen Da songs. She
explained to me the meaning of the song. Also, she explained me a hideous form of <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span>
“<em style="line-height: 1.5;">Luitorboliya ban, toikunphaledhapolimeliso, hirhirxobolekalrupdhorikaknu
bare barekhediso”, another couplet from Bhupen Da song. Here he highlights the
dreadful floods of the <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span> which happen every year. “O dreadful
floods of Luit (<span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span>) where are you going with your frightful
look with higher (sound of wave splashing the shore) sounds”. </em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">These two songs
reminded me of Lord Shiva, who is tender and at the same time Mahakal, the dreadful god
of destruction. Thought of the <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brahmaputra</span> being <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Shiva</span>, I close my
eyes and engulfed myself in His world of mysticism.</span></span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: center;"><font face="helvetica" size="4" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUpJJd6DPwaqeNd5efrkUXGifpUIUpawCrPR-KCTspvU_Bk_l3c9ZfxFYdiDRTTwAf-IanXQVAuht5ISHQP90Aa9dNkKep8ZkaJokJoojeFr4idMbljrtFxRcZvM0VXETL1Z1bq_VJa94/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Boating on Brahmaputra river around Umananda Island" border="0" data-original-height="327" data-original-width="493" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUpJJd6DPwaqeNd5efrkUXGifpUIUpawCrPR-KCTspvU_Bk_l3c9ZfxFYdiDRTTwAf-IanXQVAuht5ISHQP90Aa9dNkKep8ZkaJokJoojeFr4idMbljrtFxRcZvM0VXETL1Z1bq_VJa94/w640-h424/River+boat.jpg" title="Boating on Brahmaputra river around Umananda Island" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><font color="#f57c00" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-weight: bold;"><font size="4">Boating on Brahmaputra river around Umananda Island</font><span></span></font><div style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><font face="helvetica" size="4">All these photos are taken from my mobile phone which I bought from Amazon.

massive blow to all kinds of businesses across the globe, and the entity that
has suffered the most is the travel industry. With everyone locked down in
their homes, the scope of tourism has hit its lowest point. Apart from
airports, airlines, and hotels, there are several other occupations that rely
on travelling for a livelihood; travel agencies, hotel/flight booking apps,
Instagram influencers, YouTube Vloggers, podcasters, and a plethora of travel
website bloggers are a few to name. Many citizens in the U.S are protesting
against the quarantine regulations; they say that the government is exaggerating
the situation and depriving them of their <a href="https://www.rjflaw.com/civil-rights-law/" target="_blank">civil rights</a>. </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">People are desperate to get back to normal life and some argue that they rather work than receiving a stipend from the government.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Travel influencers on
social media and other commercial websites have followers ranging from several thousand to a few million. Travelling around the world and sharing
their experience through blogs, videos, and photography is how they earn their
bread. Now that it is difficult to travel from one place to another within the
city, they are running out of options to continue their online business. Their
fans were supporting them for the adventure and fascinating stories they had to
offer; their luxurious home or studio apartment is nowhere as glamorous. Now
that they don’t have new content to upload, the regular number of views
received by their channel is rapidly decreasing. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Big brands and
corporations tied to the tourism industry often hire travel influencers for
promoting their products and services. Now that everything is closed, the
bloggers, photographers, and Vloggers are not getting any gigs or hefty
endorsements. A lot of projects and collaborations previously planned out have
either been postponed or cancelled. Without handsomely paying partnerships and
insufficient room for personal creativity, the career of travel influencers is
starting to look shabby. Staying at home all day is torturous enough for
individuals who are accustomed to the hitchhiker lifestyle. The outdoors is
their natural habitat, and their cramped apartment represents the state of
their mind right now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">While many travel
influencers are only hoping that things will return to normal before they spend
all their savings in lockdown, others are trying to move out of their comfort
zone. A lot of bloggers and Vloggers are focusing on a ‘quarantine series’ to
maintain their fan base. Many are trying to make the best of this solitude and
interact more with their followers. Social media is bubbling with content that suggests
ways to have fun while you’re home. One on one with fans, house tours, and home
videos have replaced the conventional travel accounts; it’s not as captivating,
but definitely helps keep the audience interested. Many travel influencers have
an intriguing personal life to share, while others are struggling to come up with
anything worth publishing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Like any other the pandemic that struck in the past, coronavirus will certainly reach its doom at
some point in time. For now, travel influencers should stay home, stay safe,
and think out of the box. So what if you cannot travel to faraway places, you
can still get amazing photos while the crowds are dispersed. As a travel
influencer, you are bound to have friends, acquaintances, and fans in different
parts of the world. Collaborate with them and create content about natural

comes with a strange challenge. We are facing one of the worst global challenges: ‘Corona Virus Disease of 2019: COVID-19’. It
is a very infectious disease and has a severe acute respiratory symptom, very
similar to SARS; but more deadly than it. It was detected for the first time last
year in December in Wuhan, a capital city of Hubei province of China. Since
then it is spread globally. There is hardly any part of the world where human
beings are not affected by a coronavirus. The virus is mainly spread by people
to people contact, very often by the droplets and aerosol mechanism. The
survival of the virus in an inactive medium may last for 5 days on metal surfaces,
making it very contagious. The World Health Organization has already declared this
as a pandemic. The current WHO records show 1,301,271 active corona cases and
more than a lakh dead across the globe. The worst countries affected by this
pandemic are the US, Spain, France, and Italy. The alone US accounts for half of the
active cases. Seeing the current scenario and lack of any available treatment
or vaccine, the whole world is facing serious health crises. Across the globe, all
countries are under lock-down, very restricted movement and only critical
services are working. A complete lock-down of people-people movement is the only
way to slow down this pandemic. India is too under lockdown. Mr Prime
minister has declared complete lockdown till April 14<sup style="line-height: 1.15;">th</sup>, but I do
believe that it may extend by another two-four weeks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.15;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.15;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.15;">This lockdown brings a new
challenge in our lifestyle, specially to young couples with the children. In
Delhi, all schools and daycare are closed till the end of April, bringing
children to homecare. Homecare is not so easy task, sometimes it is
challenging, or I would say most of the time. In this crucial time, it tests our
patience specially when social situations are to be avoided. Being myself
father of the young boy and recently born daughter, I am facing the same challenge. In
a 24-hour day schedule, I must design my experiments, writes blogs and spend
time with my family and if time permits then I nap. Though most of you think,
work from home is a blessing; I do agree for some extent that indeed it is, but
it is not as one think. It is more complicated. All that we do at most is to
keep ourselves sane and children well-fed and safe. Lockdown has adversely
affected our children specially when they are not allowed to go out for play.
This makes very hard for us to make children avoid screen time which is not
healthy. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">According to WHO, the general guidelines for screen time for children divided into several groups are as follows-</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.15; text-align: left;"><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;"><b>Under 18 months old:</b> No screen time apart from having a video chat with other family members.</span></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;"><b>Toddlers (18 months - 2 years old): </b>No screen time is recommended but could be limited to less than an hour. One could make co- watch an educational program such as World Party available on Netflix. There are some programs available on youtube channel such as littlebabybum etc. The idea here is to very simple educational contents are fine. But if one could encourage toddlers to be more interactive to surroundings and to people that are best.</span></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;"><b>Preschoolers aged 3-5 years old: </b>Children could have an interactive session with screen characters and encourage them to apply to the real world. For instance, there are programs where children learn about counting. One could use that trick to make them count flowers in the garden etc. Also, don't use screen time to calm them down: this will bring addiction to children. Instead of screen time preferably book or toys on the screen character would be better for children.</span></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Elementary school children aged 6-10 years old: </b><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Maximum recommended screen time is 1.5 hours. A parent should encourage children to use the screen time to build upon the technology, for example, there are some kits available on Amazon, for example, Fischer Price tablets or writing tablets from Newyes. There are some Google apps like Bolo, Super why and kiddopia on Google stores which could be used as interactive screen time. Parents should supervise children and make sure children shouldn't make screen time as a laid- back habit. Still, physical activities are best for children's mental and physical growth.</span></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Middle school children aged 6-12 years: </b><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px;">Maximum allowed screen time is 2 hours. At this stage, children develop a better understanding of screen time. Parents should help them to understand the value of moderation over screen time. Usually, kids are interested in video games, but it is always advisable that children should be only allowed to use the games on a predetermined time schedule. Again, it is always advisable to encourage kids to do physical activities instead. A parent should encourage then develop valuable skills. These days there are very cheap programmable kits, for instance, Arduino devices are available.</span></li></ul><div style="line-height: 1.15; text-align: center;"><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrrnkO-0vH9i9gq7tRW9buX2oPoTo0uDwat3YJNjYVCSzqGomuH918KZe8dtVzqe59f1QdQsMk-Z-RXZlRQoh-LH3I25Lz1kPB6PvK_S8xgJ6SOgXo8abr10EyQfhp4K1zPqcC2McQ0Fc/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Child playing video game during COVID-19 Lockdown" border="0" data-original-height="6374" data-original-width="5160" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrrnkO-0vH9i9gq7tRW9buX2oPoTo0uDwat3YJNjYVCSzqGomuH918KZe8dtVzqe59f1QdQsMk-Z-RXZlRQoh-LH3I25Lz1kPB6PvK_S8xgJ6SOgXo8abr10EyQfhp4K1zPqcC2McQ0Fc/w324-h400/Game+Playing+JPG1.jpg" title="Child playing video game during COVID-19 Lockdown" width="324" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><font color="#3367d6"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My son playing a video game on a pre-scheduled time</span></font></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">It is also advising to have a screen shield on TV or computer and all digital devices should be equipped with
screen time control for the kids such as Zfit and parental control on all
digital devices. Though, I could see that WHO hardly encourage children for the
screen time. In the current situation, the screen time may seem to be the only option
to have some personal space from children; but believe me, that’s not the right
way to go. I see myself this situation as a boom to utilize it bond with my
family. When I was working, it was very hard for me to spend time with my
children. Usually, I leave for my office in the early morning after dropping him to
school and in the evening when I am home, it is already very late, almost bedtime
for my son. Since now I am forced to stay at home. I am balancing time with my
family along with working on my research. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In order to personalize my activities with my children, I am using kindle. I have lots of stories for young ones. Either I or my wife spends time in the evening with my children to read them stories. Some of the stories still remind me of my dad. In my young days, we used to have books from Gita Press. My dad used to read some stories from them. Those stories have taught me of our Indian values. I do miss all those collections on kindle but maybe someday I will digitalize some of the stories from Gita press. There is some open source software where one could make customize digital story, for instance, Story Dice, Little Bird Tales and Adobe slate. Probably for my grandchildren; that's would be another day blog. Reading stories not only teaches them the valuable lesson of life but also engages them to the world to perceive. I noticed that sometimes my daughter engages in complete imaginative role-play, sometimes she turns to a lion 'Sere Khan' who is chasing a rabbit or sometimes a police inspector who is asking for driving license; that's very interesting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj19H09qUYkTY4gN0M4q_v_pzUv7z0ryIj3hPAakGNp1YPFVevlyJqzTmMgkTNFnV5qfyOQmrmtSfaG5Ul_22qv10HG75MrlhxlLhRkrYONwn7CiZKc4Ok-d1i8ra6VoNvwB1on-MOKKBk/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Child Playing during COVID-19 Lockdown" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj19H09qUYkTY4gN0M4q_v_pzUv7z0ryIj3hPAakGNp1YPFVevlyJqzTmMgkTNFnV5qfyOQmrmtSfaG5Ul_22qv10HG75MrlhxlLhRkrYONwn7CiZKc4Ok-d1i8ra6VoNvwB1on-MOKKBk/w300-h400/Play-2+webP1.jpg" title="Child Playing during COVID-19 Lockdown" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><font color="#3367d6"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Temporary reading room design by my daughter</span></font></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I noticed that sometimes my daughter engages in complete imaginative role-play, sometimes she turns to a lion 'Sere Khan' who is chasing a rabbit or sometimes a police inspector who is asking for driving license; that's very interesting. I always encourage her by taking part in her games. On other hands with my son who is a bit older and addicted to video games, I am spending time playing some board games, carrom and chess. Sometimes, repeating the same game make them bored so I try to be bit innovative. I made my drawing room as an activity playground. I moved all furniture to the walls, put some pillows and spare mattresses on the floor. Children always find these things very interesting, at least my daughter love to jump over them. She pretends that it is a path in a jungle, and she must follow the path marked on the mattress cover. For my son, the most favourite part is racetrack which I designed from the paper. I designed the track on the computer and print it. I pasted it on my drawing-room. He loved to put his flywheels on the track race it with me or his sister. To make it more interesting, I made some hills, valley or river using cardboards. We are still trying our imagination to make the racetrack wilder. May be forest made of printed papers etc. Some of the other ideas on more active things to do at home could be found on Pinterest.

She patiently mixes the ghee in the dough. Also, she knows that water should be added carefully such that the texture of the dough should be not lost completely. Here you see she made banana pancake, a favourite dish of her. I sometimes try my hand on cooking along with my wife. I am specialized in making rajma rice. I am improving upon that, probably someday, I will learn how to make chole bhature which I miss a lot because of this close-down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Child learning cooking during COVID-19 Lockdown" border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="404" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXe2BIvmXgmVBkB68GV7-VklgxhVUyBkOC_aubvd5yYhdPivmu71Ozm8SNFoi4fIJEdRDIC9jjVfktNIe1ldD4tU0w6_dNDQ9QUHLL2wF6qXasYVxYULKipAeR2IVSlQptwDSgEsP0QbA/w400-h400/Cooking-1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Child learning cooking during COVID-19 Lockdown" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#3367d6">Wife and my daughter preparing pancake: Once the pancake is cooked, my daughter is inspecting it.</font></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="text-align: left;"></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><font><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">My wife loves gardening. I noticed that she misses gardening. Usually, her daily chores take tolls on her. But now we are spending more time together, she finds more time for gardening. It is a kind of luxury to have a big terrace or balcony in a city like Delhi. We are lucky to have rather a moderate size terrace. Last month, I bought soil and natural manure from a nearby nursery. The soil in Delhi has a very fine texture, it is necessary to add some sand to make it coarser. For new and young plants, it is necessary to have this kind of soil. Luckily, we had some sand left from the last repair job. We made soil to the sand mixture in the proportion of 4:1 in a big tub. We had some unused earthen pots and some plastic container which we made it as a plant pot. I noticed that my wife loved teaching gardening to our daughter. She took some old paper glasses and adds some coarse soil. Unfortunately, we didn't have many seeds left in our cupboard so we use innovative methods to make own garden. For instance, tomatoes have seeds in them. She carefully plucked seeds from tomatoes and put them on toilet paper ( even newspaper will work ). Once and soak the paper with water. She placed the paper on top of the soil. With time paper will dissolve and, seeds will germinate. Once the shoots from seeds look good, one could transfer the plant from glass to the pot. Some of the other gardening tips in the moment of lockdown when all nurseries are closed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnXhmR2SiwgRqRBZCht1DZcZ9Nb9gwmCRrXocK5oJEhGFQ6KGXxorG6QZjF18oz0qVYv1-e6pIFojo_xAfsKQeBUR13A2Fd6TmUil1HlOshxeRpSDia6WjrO4J-PVAl7DFeeLfuEP70g/" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Child learning a gardening during COVID-19 Lockdown" border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="404" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnXhmR2SiwgRqRBZCht1DZcZ9Nb9gwmCRrXocK5oJEhGFQ6KGXxorG6QZjF18oz0qVYv1-e6pIFojo_xAfsKQeBUR13A2Fd6TmUil1HlOshxeRpSDia6WjrO4J-PVAl7DFeeLfuEP70g/w400-h400/Gardening-1.jpg" title="Child learning a gardening during COVID-19 Lockdown" width="400" /></a></span></div></font></td></tr></tbody></table></div></span><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: "times new roman"; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><font color="#3367d6"> My daughter trying her hand on gardening.

If you or your neighbour have money plants or rose plants, take a small stem from the plant and place it in water. Place the stem in a partially sunny area. In a week or two, it will start growing some roots. Then place that in soil. After a week placing in soil, place the plant in direct sunlight for some part of the day. Soon they will grow into a big plant.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">2. If you happen to get fresh coriander with roots. Cut the root out and place it moist soil. Soon roots will start growing some fresh leaves. Let the plat in the fresh morning sun every day but avoid the direct and intense sun. In two weeks, you will have homegrown fresh coriander.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">3. </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">Growing chilli is not so tough. One needs to pluck the seeds from chilli and place over the soil. Keep the soil moderately moist. Put the pot in direct sun. It is often said that more sun your chilli plant sees, hotter chilli will be.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">4. </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">One could also grow ginger, garlic in the garden. Place one or two cloves of garlic and a small portion of (eye) onion and ginger in a partially sunny area of your kitchen over the moist clothes. Once they start showing green shoots place them in moist soil. Once the plat is out, keep the soil moderately dry to have healthy plants. I usually use the leaves of garlic and onion in cooking.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. <span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">Like tomatoes, one could generate seeds from bitter melon popularly known as karela. They need very sandy soil and dry weather. Make soil coarser for them. Once the plant is out, pot could be put in the sun and water every afternoon. In a month or two, you will have homegrown karela.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcd0ZnIYN1QH3VTUcoLrhTCs5qp7ZJfWUWY3P9kMdawLmLXLKgZciGGY3sIB2UaNQzPzMwt_4MYeGiR_6SMPo2FZq15yWzPimn9im2C-ZpfHyLOm2NeKWiHlfSHegob_fASTEqKLq2nzE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Child learning a gardening during COVID 19 Lockdown" border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="404" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcd0ZnIYN1QH3VTUcoLrhTCs5qp7ZJfWUWY3P9kMdawLmLXLKgZciGGY3sIB2UaNQzPzMwt_4MYeGiR_6SMPo2FZq15yWzPimn9im2C-ZpfHyLOm2NeKWiHlfSHegob_fASTEqKLq2nzE/w400-h400/Garden-4.jpg" title="Child learning a gardening during COVID 19 Lockdown" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#3367d6">An attempt by my wife for having her own homegrown vegetable</font></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">Like tomatoes, one could generate seeds from bitter melon popularly known as karela. Here are some ideas to make a home garden with limited resources. On our terrace, we have grown sunflowers, tomatoes, coriander and chilli. I am planning to grow karela and bottle guard (also all Kaddu). Since, last week, I already see that shoots are coming from my sunflower seeds and small green pots from my tomato seeds.

Though gyms are closed we have enough resources in home to perform some workout. Obviously, Yoga is the most common choice. Some of the asanas which we as a family do it together are Trokonasana, Padottanasana, Malasana, Ananda Balasanaand Savasana. In addition to yoga, we do some extreme sports too, for example, skipping and pushup. Me and my son also run over the stairs. Every day we take more than 1000 steps. All these not only, make us fit but also drained energy from my son. This all keeps him sane. The results of these sports give us very sound sleep at night, which I could hear from the snoring of my son and wife. I am not joking: we do have very sound 8 hrs sleep at night.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">This is very strange moments; all we need to keep ourselves and our family is healthy and fully sane even though we don't have social engagement. Though we can't meet our friends and family members thanks to technologies we could talk to them. Especially, this is very important for us to keep talking to older people. They may be feeling most loners. My mother lives by herself in Patna. Patna is also under lockdown. And looking at her age, she is the maximum risk group for corona exposure. She is staying most of the time at home. She felt lonely a lot. Thankfully, last year I bought a smartphone for my mother. I am using WhatsApp to be in touch with her almost every day. She misses her grandchildren but at least now she could see them via WhatsApp. I am also using the zoom to be in touch with my work colleagues and friends. Zoom is also free software which I could use to video chat for 45 minutes. It is a very good platform to have multiuser chats, much better than WhatsApp where one could use only four users at a time to do video chat.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">Though, we all agree that this lock-down is going to have a severe effect on our economy and lifestyles. But what I see the positive part of this lockdown is now we understand the value of life. We understand what a family does mean. I am spending more time with my family on the positive side. Recently, I bonded well with my son and daughter. Also connecting more often with my mother. On a completely different note but also an important part, for the very first time in I have seen the clear morning sky in Delhi for more than a week at a stretch. Air quality is much better due to the sudden drop in NO2. The air quality index dropped from 200 on the day before lockdown to 20 on day of writing this article. One should grab this moment with both hands. We spend quality time in the evening and in the morning on our roof. Sometimes if our schedule permits then we love to have tea and snacks on the roof in the evening.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">Though, we all agree that this lock-down is going to have a severe effect on our economy and lifestyles. But what I see the positive part of this lockdown is now we understand the value of life. We understand what a family does mean. On a positive note, I could say that nature is embracing us during this lockdown. On social media, I have seen postings of Yamuna River. I don't remember when I saw clear water of Yamuna river. There are reports by the Guardian newspaper that froth the river is gone and the water looks clear. Some section of the river also seen the return of small fishes. My friends in Chandigarh has reported sighting of Dhaulagiri mountain range. My brother- in- law sent me a picture of an iconic Ganga Sethu Bridge from his house roof-top. It is good to see that Mother Nature is embracing herself. All these make me feel that nature is trying to teach us a valuable lesson. I hope we will learn from our mistakes and amend our living and pay respect to nature. With this positive note, I will say brace yourself, your family and Mother Nature in this amid a situation of lockdown. Keep yourself safe healthy and sane.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDb3UCXfe2rGBtX595EazWBt5i4aIYeoKtLipqQtiJZCr8WhAOtlKlKpBcoVrUZDowHutAb9YGZfwsvYHL4dl0BOP4yHqoCymgCQyOggtfOOMeuUWZiA-VBtU7InECpTAjov8xzGhgtE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Patna Gandhi Setu Bridge on Ganga River" border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="404" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDb3UCXfe2rGBtX595EazWBt5i4aIYeoKtLipqQtiJZCr8WhAOtlKlKpBcoVrUZDowHutAb9YGZfwsvYHL4dl0BOP4yHqoCymgCQyOggtfOOMeuUWZiA-VBtU7InECpTAjov8xzGhgtE/w400-h400/Ganga1.jpg" title="Patna Gandhi Setu Bridge on Ganga River" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><font color="#3367d6">Mother Nature Embracing herself</font></b></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><font color="#f57c00">Updated on Articles- 06.07.2020</font></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: center;">Finally the hard work of my wife and daughter fruitful still need to wait a month to get tomatoes and two months for peas.

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">In my last trip, tour & travel blog post (<a href="https://www.exploringanature.com/2019/07/exploring-forgotten-heritage-of-muslim-dynasty.html" target="_blank">One Day Trip to Hauz Khash I: Exploring Forgotten Heritage of Muslim Dynasty</a>), I have written about my one day trip to Hauz Khash area which includes a description on Chor Minar, Edgah, Dadi - Poti Tomb, Barah Khamba, Sakri Gumti, Choti Gumti, Jagannath Temple. In this part, I will cover Deer Park to complete my travelogue on " Exploring Deer Park And Heritage Sites".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">After talking midday offering from Lord Jagannath, I and my friend Khusdil Abhiram made our way to the last leg of our journey "Deer Park". It is just three minutes from Lord Jagannath Temple. There is a pay parking lot for bikes and cars, in front of the Deer Park entry gate. The parking charges for the bike: Rs. 40/hr. The authorized person at the parking lot will collect the toll. I wish the parking price would be lower: but thinking of safer and greener planet for the future generation, the steep parking price will encourage people to use public transport. Hauz Khash and Deer Park are easily accessible by Delhi metro magenta and yellow line. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Being a weekend, Deer Park was more crowded than a usual working day. Also, having pleasant weather makes people go for a picnic and stroll with their loved ones. There was no entry charge for the Deer Park, and it is open throughout the week with weekly closure on Friday. The opening hours are: 5.00 am - 7:00 pm (summer) and 6:00 am - 7:00 pm (winter). The Deer Park is biodiversity and the largest green cover in Delhi. It is also known as A. N. Jha Deer Park, named after Padma Vibhushan awardee renowned social worker: A. N. Jha. It was established in 1968 and has a green area of 25.95 hectares. It has a mini zoo with enclosures for Deer and hence calls Deer Park. Since the area is in the Hauz Khash area, it contains the relics of Delhi Sultanate (1206 - 1526).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">As soon as we enter in the Deer Park, the lush green environment will welcome with open arm, especially considering the recent rise in pollution in Delhi, the serenity of the Deer Park is bliss. The air inside the park is fresh and cleaner than the rest of Delhi. Inside the park, there are few enclosures where Deer are kept. Deer have a large area to roam around playing with each other. Unlike a Zoo, a large enclosure gives you a glimpse of the life of Deer in the forest or in Nature. It is forbidden to feed them, it is good to keep Deer to close to its natural habitat. It makes them easier to rehabilitate later if required. The serenity of Deer Park almost makes you feel that you are not in a metropolitan city. There were lots of children close Deer enclosure. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">My friend Khusdil missed his daughter: he wished she would be with her to see these beautiful creatures. He took a few pictures and share them his wife on WhatsApp up to show it to their daughter. After strolling around the park, we followed the track towards Kali Gumti. The trail is very beautiful; full of tall trees and thick shrubs around it. The green enclosure almost made you forgot the fact that we are in a bustling city, Delhi. The fresh air not only makes your body rejuvenate but also gives you mental peace or relaxation. It is tough to explain here; one must experience by itself. These days we are seeing the rise of Oxygen bar like Oxypure in an upskirt market where one pays almost Rs. 500 for 15 minutes of pure oxygen inhaling. But we are forgetting that we could get this oxygen for free if we keep our city green. Trees and plants are important for every city and hence there must be Deer Park in every city. I hope we will save our planet for our children. With this heavy mind, we headed to Kali Mundi.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Kali Gumti, the name suggests that this should be related to Goddess Kali.
On contrary to this, it is black in colour and hence called Kali, the Hindi word
for black. The outer layer of the dome of this Gumti is covered with organic
mortar and with the time the organic mortar turns to black and hence it called
Kali Gumti. This dome structure doesn’t have any grave and hence it is not a
tomb but a Gumti i.e. a gateway.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">This dome was built during the regime Tughlaq and Sayyad period. It is a
small domed structure with three entrances from north, south and east
directions. All the entrances have an open arched doorway. In the west, there
is an enclosure for the mosque. Today only its wall decorated with mihrab is
standing tall. This mosque may have been built during the Lodhi period
(1206-1526). Even today, sometimes you will see few people offering prayer to
Allah during azan time. The wall of Gumti is tall and have tall arches.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The area around this Gumti is more peaceful; probably due to a smaller
number of people especially children around here. We could hear the chirping of
birds and squeaking of playful monkeys. There were few herds of a monkey
playing on tomb and trees and peacocks were proudly displaying their majestic
wings in the open lawn near the Gumti. Believe me, it is a bliss to hear them,
sometimes you want to be away from bustling cars honk. I will recommend
everyone to spend a few hours at Kali Gumti to reinvent yourself. After
relaxing for a while on the lawn, I and Khusdil took several pictures to keep
our memory. Some of these pictures are on this blog.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Our next destination was Bage Alam Ka Gumbad. The path to Bage Alam Ka Gumbad is enshrined with natural huts and tall trees. Bage Alam Ka Gumbad means " A tomb in a garden"; on the contrary, there is no garden around this tomb. Instead of this, the area is surrounded by tall trees and dense shrubs, giving you a feeling of the forest. This tomb is of Sikandar Lodhi period. The Persian inscription on the western wall of the tomb states that this was built by Delhi Sultan, Abu Sayeed in 1501, in honour of Muslim saint Miyan Shaikh Shihab- Ud- Din Taj Khan.</span></div>

The south gate is more dominant structure; a well decorated and have two arched niches window surrounded by a rectangular frame. The tomb is made of grey and brown rubble stones quarried locally. The use of bicolour stones gives a patchwork effect on the structure. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The tomb is a three-storied square monument structure with an area of 9.5 m X 5.2 m and it is one of the largest monuments among three monuments which are present in the Deer Park. Among all three stories, only the ground floor structure has arched windows on both sides of the South entrance while the rest of the floors are just a walled structure. All arches and niches and window panels are decorated by the bands of red, blue sandstones tiles which make it look more distinct and majestic view from the rest of other tombs. </span><br />

In the time dusk, fallen leaves on these graves and bit of mist in the air make you shiver of fear. Probably it is just our strange feeling, but it does look haunting in the evening. Despite this, the walled mosque looks very beautiful might have different beauty at down or in the day time. </span></span><br />

For this reason, Khusdil left this courtyard quickly and was asking me to leave also. with this, we headed to our next leg: "The Rabbit enclosure and forest view".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The path to the rabbit enclosure passes through a forest of dense trees and shrubs area. On our way, we have seen a few peacocks. Their colourful wings and lush full trees around make our stroll mesmerizing. After walking for a few minutes, we reached our destination, the rabbit enclosure.</span><br />

I and Khusdil were also a bit tired so we sat
there for some time and enjoyed watching kids playing around. It is blissed to
watch kids playing around; probably we both are proud parents. It is better for
children to enjoy their time in nature like this. I feel sad sometimes when I
see children spending having so much screen time. Places like this are good
alternatives and provide good quality time to children and parents to spend
time t</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">ogether and bond with nature.</span></span></span></div>

the sky, and told me it is time for us for coffee isn’t? I looked at him and
told him that yes indeed, it is. There are a few café and restaurants nearby. But
we headed towards a café which is present in Green Park for coffee and some
snacks. The nearest one was Lord of the Drinks Meadow. We both quickly reached the hotel gate. Café has a more western
look with some hip interiors. All seats inside were occupied by the couples,
probably we were only guys there.</span></span></div>

We ordered two cappuccino and coco-cake. The waiter quickly places the order on the table. Service was cordial and quick. After such a tiresome walk, we were elated to sip coffee and bike our cake slices. We were both feeling very relaxed now. Then after, we have decided to move towards the next destination for exploring which is five minutes walking distance away from the hotel.</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Hauz Khash Lake / Hauz - I - Alai / Royal Tank / Duck Pound / District Park Lake</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Hauz Khas Lake is also known as District Park Lake, located in District
park area. The literal meaning of Farsi word Hauz Khas is “The Royal Tank”. It
was built by Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khalji in early 14th century. The tank was
used to store rainwater for its use in the dry season. In early days, it was
spread over 28 hectares and has a pavilion-like structure with Munda Gumbad at
its centre. It has been in depilated condition since the decline of Delhi
Sultanate. It exists today, but with time and poor keeping, it is reduced to
1/5th of its original size, a much less grandeur than what it used to be.</span></span></div>

Hauz Khas was flourishing with flora and fauna, but due to toxicity in
inhabitable water content, it’s seen a gradual decline state. Thanks to
environmental activist- Tarun Sebastian and his NGO - Pernod Ricard India
Foundation, Evolve Engineering, there is an initiative to revive the royal
lake. In the public-Delhi government initiative, floating wetland islands are
placed in the Hauz Khas lakes. The results of this initiative are already
positive.</span></span></div>

duck and Indian white runner ducks affirm this. The presence of ducks enhances
the beauty of the lake. The effort is ongoing and probably soon, the Hauz Khas
Lake will regain its royal beauty. Irrespective of the situation of the Hauz
Khas Lake, the serenity of the area is enriched due to the presence of Tughlaq
monumental architecture and nearby archaeological sites like Qutub Minar,
Sultan Ghari, and Suraj Kund, etc. </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">A very strolling trek path has
been made around this lake. This trek is lined with lush green trees and shrubs
adding beauty to the lake. Usually, in the morning and evening, you will see people
walking and running, a popular game around this lake. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">On the right side of Hauz Khash Lake, there is a mound, in the form of
ruins on a hillock. This ruin is known as the Munda Gumbad, in English, it is
called Bald Dome. Initially, it was in the standing tall at the centre of Hauz
Khas Lake. Both lake and Munda Gumbad were built by Delhi Sultan Alauddin
Khalji. Due to continued depilated condition of the Hauz Khas Lake with time,
today Munda Gumbad ruin stands at the edge of the reduced lake. In its prime
time, this ruin was a double storied structure with four-sided entry and a
narrow staircase leading upwards.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

in South Delhi, very close to Hauz Khash a perfect place for a
weekend picnic trip with a family member or loved ones. Though I live very close
by, I never got a chance to visit Hauz Khash. I got this opportunity
last month when my childhood friend Khusdil Abhiram contacted me
via Facebook and stated that he will be visiting Delhi for his personal work.
On hearing of his travel plan, I was very delighted. My friend was coming to
Delhi for the very first time. He was also interested in seeing the historical
aspects of the city. Hauz Khas was very much on my list to visit
for a long time. I thought this is the very moment to visit this place. I
planned my travel to visit Hauz Khas and nearby area to see the
Muslim Empire's forts, which now have been transformed into a ruin. In one day
program to roam Hauz Khash includes- <i>Chor Minar, Edgah, Dadi-Poti Tomb, Barah Khamba, Sakri Gumti,
Chhoti Gumti, Jagannath Temple, Dear Park & Hauz – I – Alai</i> which
covering historical period from <i>Khalji</i>
to <i>Lodhi dynasty</i> (<i>1206 – 1526</i>). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">Hauz Khash is
known as the New York of Delhi. It is situated in South-East of Delhi. It includes Hauz Khash Village
& Hauz Khash Enclave. In the historic period, it was known
by <i>Hauz – I - Alai</i>. After
that, it was named on ancient water reservoir- Hauz Khash. Hauz,
a Farsi word meaning “water tank” and Khash means “Royal”, depicting
the name after a royal tank, built by <i>Alauddin Khalji</i>,
meant for an inhabitant of Siri fort.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">I
am always fascinated by the history of the
archaeological sites. Visiting these sites feels like
they want to tell me their story. One could just imagine
the richness of these sites; they have seen fall and rise of several
dynasties, and these monuments are still raising high against all odds. I
am also always fascinated by
the richness of these sites.</span></div>

has been to understand the present nature
of spirituality, art, culture and their belief among
common people. The roots of the present are always connected with our past
history. Mostly all historical sites around Delhi are connected to our
medieval history. This medieval history of
India is a full history of the Muslim Dynasty. It
includes three phases -</span></span></span><br />

present in the history pages for their expansionist policy and along with
aggressiveness for the fulfilment of their empires. Art and culture that was
developed during their rule in India, had much impact and influence by Afghan
& Iranian art which results in Indo- Islamic architecture. Ruins of the
Muslim fortresses relentlessly reveal the history of their time. In which some
are popular and many others are not popular, even people of Delhi do not know,
but in the historical saga, it all works as an important link, without it, is
difficult to understand the entire history of the Muslim Empires.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">We are seeing each other after 20 years; it is indeed
after a long time. I went to receive him at Delhi
railway station, seeing him boarding out from Patna-Rajdhani express tears rolled
out of my eyes. These tears are tears of joy. We
hugged each other and try to make our conservation. There was a lot to discuss and discover about
each other. It was very early Friday morning, and he travelled
overnight to reach Delhi. We decided that probably it is better
if he goes to his hotel and takes rest and gives priority to finish his
personal work. Later tomorrow at early morning, he should visit my
flat. I dropped him at
his hotel Indus Biznotel, Greater Kailash, South Delhi and then
heads to my house.</span></div>

official day off, so I also took a morning nap at
my flat. Later I was wakened up
during breakfast by a sound of the doorbell. And to
me, not a surprise to see my friend Khusdil Abhiram at
the door. We hugged each other and welcome him to
my flat. He had tea and snacks over
our chat. There was a lot to talk
about; somehow, we lost the sense of time. It
was already 09. AM hrs. To be frank, Hauz Khash is very well connected
by the public Delhi Metro transport so that could
be also very good alternatives to see Hauz Khash. Also,
it would have been environmental.</span></div>

on Delhi Road seems too less congested due to most of the corporate
offices were closed; we decided to use my motorbike for our
transportation to visit these places. My bike was waiting for running, the weather was very pleasant,
and the sky was surrounded by black clouds, giving a
perfect setting for us to venture out to visit the places which
we already agreed to see. On our list first was Hauz Khash
Chor Minar & Edgah which is very near to Hauz Khas metro
station. Here, this is my travelogue
on Hauz Khash historical sites a perfect trip for
the weekend. If you want to see a photo collection of this blogpost, please go through this link- <a href="https://www.exploringanature.com/2019/06/photo-gallery-hauz-khash-village.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Photo Gallery- Hauz Khash Village</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13pt;">We easily reached our first stop at the </span><i style="font-size: 13pt;">Chor Minar</i><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> historical site within 20 minutes. It is
situated in a posh area at </span><i style="font-size: 13pt;">Hauz Khash Enclave.</i><span style="font-size: 13pt;">
As soon as we reached this tower's premises and we had a surprise to see the

<span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">This
is also famous for “<i>Tower of Thieves</i>”
or “<i>Tower of beheading</i>.” It was built in the 13<sup>th</sup> century by
Alauddin Khalji <i>(1296-1316) </i>to
deter the practice of theft & rebel in his empire. He was the second Sultan
of the Khalji dynasty. Prior, he was the <i>governor
of Kara</i> near Allahabad. Due to his ambitious nature, he killed his uncle,
Delhi’s first Khalji <i>Sultan Jalal Uddin
Khalji</i><b> </b>in<b> </b><i>1296</i>. When it was built, it had 225 holes. The main
purpose of this tower was to display the severed heads of thieves and Mongol
people from present Mangolpuri. Today this structure still stands tall and
intact. Entrance to the staircase of this minaret is closed for common public,
but one can see the structure from outside. The holes which used to display the
severed heads are still prominently sticking out from the minaret. And even
today, one could feel creepy vibes by seeing this tower.</span></div>

minaret, I felt the chill of fear running through my veins. I feel that I could
still hear the voices of thieves, defeated chiefs/soldiers and the common man
who was executed here. This minaret is the gallant impression of the brutality
of the <i>Alauddin Khalji</i>.
Probably, we all know the epic war between the
King Rawal Ratan Singh and Alauddin Khalji, a war
which was fought by Alauddin for his lust for the <i>Rani Padmini</i>, wife of <i>Ratan Singh</i>. Upon the defeat
of <i>Ratan Singh, Rani Padmin</i>i performed Jauhar (Sati)
along with other female courtesans of the fort of Chittor.</span></div>

<span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">The literal meaning of the Edgah is the place of worship, without an
enclosure and wall. The main purpose of Edgah is to offer prayer to
Allah in an open place where a large number of people could assemble. This
structure was built by <i>Iqbal Khan</i> in <i>1404-1405</i> in simple <i>Tughlaqi</i> design. He was also known
as <i>Mallu Khan</i>, a warlord of
exiled Delhi Sultan <i>Mohammed Bin Tughlaq</i> (<i>1392 - 1412</i>), the last ruler of <i>Tughlaq dynasty</i>. The structure ruin
is well preserved today even after 600 years of passage. It is made of rubble
wall on the west with a series of eleven minarets (mihrabs or arched), a
place for the muezzin. Long thick wall run in a north-south direction and a
tall circular bastion stands at both ends of the wall. One pulpit is present
next to the central mihrab of the wall for delivering a message to a
people. The serenity of space around Edgah brings peace and calmness
in our heart and mind.</span></div>

AM, both of us agreed that we should go now for our next destination- <i>Dadi- Poti's</i> <i>Tomb.</i> We took tea and snacks that were brought with us and got
fresh. Due to cloudy weather, cold air was blowing which was making our
memorable journey even more enjoyable and fun. We soon arrived on the <i>Aurobindo road</i>. On the opposite
side of the Aurobindo road, there was the board of <i>Jagannath Temple</i> which goes
straight towards the west-<i>Hauz Khash Dear
Park</i>. This was a 15-minute route by bike from Edgah to <i>Aurobindo</i> Market. I parked my bike

maintained, but the menace of stray dogs is easily seen. One needs to be
careful, not to indulge with them. It is not forbidden to sit on the grass. Few
couples were having a picnic on the lawn. The inside look was very pleasant,
but the notice board was in very bad condition due to this, the Tomb’s detail
was not being read correctly or properly. The Tomb which is in front of the
gate is the grandmother’s tomb, and the granddaughter’s on her left side. As
the name of these tombs’ states, pair of tombs are resembled <i>by Biwi (mistress)
& Bandi (maid-servant)</i> and also known by <i>Dadi (Grand-mother) tomb
& Poti (Grand-daughter) tomb</i>. The Poti tomb is smaller
(11.8 m X 11.8 m) than Dadi tomb (15.86 m X 15.86 m). Both are built
from the rubble and plastered on the elevated ground.</span></span></div>

unidentified cenotaphs of a person with nobility origin. Dadi’ tomb looks
two-story structures from outsides due to its arched and window design. Condition

nobleman. Delhi has more than 1,000 tombs, Forts, Havelis,
Baolis and Darwazas; and Barah</span><span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">Khamba is very distinct from all
those. Due to its twelve pillars,
this tomb has probably been given the name Barah Khamba. It
has twelve pillars and three arched openings on each face and one
dome present at the top. Islamic architecture has mystical
significance for number seven and
twelve. The number twelve is scared in Islam, representing
twelve Imams succeeding Prophet Muhammad. This number twelve is
also associated with twelve zodiac signs. As per information on
the notice board, there were several cenotaphs inside this structure but now
have not seen. Inside
of this tomb was decorated with various niches.</span></div>

unplanned or planned housing structures in Hauz Khash. Also, most of
the structures are in depleted conditions. Though ASI regulation prohibits any
constructions within 100 meters of ASI protected structures, it is hardly
followed. Delhi has seen the rise and fall of several dynasties and it has preserved
all history, but we humans are destroying it. These structures are our story; we
should preserve it for future generations. We should follow cleanliness drive
“Swach Bharat” and shouldn’t litter around these structures. We should
respect and preserve our historical treasure.</span><br />

<span face="calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">With the small hope,
I start my bike towards the famous Jagannath temple which is near to Chhoti Gumti and
5 minutes of walking distance. It’s already 12:30 PM, Prasad offering
would be starting soon. Khusdil told me, let's hurry up. We must
attend the prasad offering. The Temple, a white masonic structure is
located on the Bhagwan Jagannath marg (Road). This temple
is on the way to Deer Park from Chhoti Gumti. Within a minute, we
reached the temple and parked my bike at the parking lot in front of the
temple. We put our shoe in the deposit counter then sanctified. Buying worship
materials, climbing the stairs and finally entered the temple premises. The
scenery of the temple complex was very charming and peaceful. There was not
much crowd but some people were roaming around the temple complex and some
people were sitting in the temple premises. At first, we both worshipped the
God- Krishna, Balram & Subhadra in the temple. Then,
roaming around the temple and enjoying the beauty of the temple complex. For a
while, we have experienced spiritual joy and peace by sitting in the temple
premises.</span><br />

Man-Eating Tigers</span></span></b></h3>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">Sundarban, a beautiful dense forest! The name
itself gives the feeling of mysticism. It is a world of its own; whose
co-habitants includes man and tigers with exquisite culture and custom. Many
times I had heard about it, even in middle-class books. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">This is the only place on the Earth, where the
tiger kills fisherman, woodcutter and honey harvester on a regular basis, but
still, tigers are reserved and worshipped. This mysticism brought the
attraction of many outsiders and describe beautifully about the mystery of
Sundarban in their novels. For example,
one celebrated wildlife writer Sy. <i>Montgomery</i>
attracted to this unique habitation in Sundarban. He reveals the delicate balance of
Sundarban’ life in his famous book, Spell of the Tiger: “<i>The Man-Eaters of Sundarban</i>”. Here he explores the mix of worship
and fear that offers tiger’s unique protection in Sundarban and unlocks some
surprising local custom about why people at risk of becoming prey might
consider their predator a God. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">This mysticism and desire to face the love and
fear of seeing most revered animal: Tiger has also brought me to this world.
The trip to Sundarban was a family trip, the first leg of our vacation of the year 2018.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">Sundarban is the world’s largest delta located
at the lower end of Gangetic plain, formed by three rivers- <i>Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna</i>. The
Sundarban forest area covered by India and neighbour countries-<i>Bangladesh.</i> It is widely spread from the
<i>Hooghly</i> <i>River</i> in India’s state of West Bengal to the Baleshwar River in
Bangladesh country. This swamp area is extended over around 10,300 km 2 (3,900
sq. mile) of which one-third area is covered in the marshy swamp with the
co-joint salt water of Bay of Bengal and rivers’ fresh water. In Bangladesh, it
falls under <i>Khulna division</i> and in <i>India</i>; it falls under South and North 24
Parganas. India shared around 4,262 sq. km

<b><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: cambria, serif;">B)</span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif;"> Three Days Trip to
Mystic World- “Sundarban, World of man-eating tigers”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">Last year, we decided to go on a trip to South
India, a religious trip to Rameshwaram.
And a trip to Sundarban was in that plan too. You could ask me, “But
Sundarban is not in South India, then how come it was part of the trip?” Since,
my college days, I always like to feel the mysticism of Sundarban; and these
days my elder sister is living in Kolkata which gives me a push to visit
Sundarban. So, we decided to start our journey from Sundarban itself, a
journey from mysticism to religious belief.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">All it started with the decision of my brother;
he would like to take a break from his studies and to explore South India. When
we met in Patna during Chatha (Read my earlier blog on Chatha festival
<a href="https://www.exploringanature.com/2018/12/exploring-chhath-puja.html">Exploring Chhath Puja – The Festival of Faith, Devotion and Spirituality.</a>), we made a concrete plan
for the trip and convince other family members to be part of this trip. I also
decided to take a break from my work during Christmas for three weeks. Since my sister is living in Kolkata and it
has better connectivity to South India via trains, so we decided to start our
journey from Kolkata. And on our journey to the south, Sundarban was our first
leg. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Since Sundarban is a conservation area, so it
requires a permit to visit. In my experience, if one is travelling with family
and it requires some legal document to travel; it is better to involve a travel
agency. At least in this way, one doesn’t need to worry about getting a permit
and in addition, ones don’t need to worry about the itinerary too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">There are several travel agencies operate for the Sundarban trip, all
offering different travel packages starting from a day trip to multiple nights
itineraries including food and lodging. All travel agencies have picked up and
dropped from and to Kolkata. For lodging, one could choose between staying over
the land in cottages or on the houseboats. Sometimes the resorts in Sundarban also, provide the travel packages of its own. To name a few top Sundarban travel agencies are:-</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">We decided to visit Sundarban in the last week of December. During this
period, the temperature in Sundarban is around 20</span><sup style="font-family: cambria, serif;">o</sup><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">C Degree with
mild humidity. In general, the weather in Sundarban is hot and humid. And the
best time to visit Sundarban is in early October to early March. Since we were
visiting Sundarban in prime touristic season, it was tricky to find the
accommodation. We tried most of the travel agency but most of them were
pre-booked. There was a last-minute cancellation with </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Sundarban Eco-Tourism</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> and hence we booked our itinerary of 2 nights
and 3 days with them. It is the best and most opted plan and also most of the
viewpoints are covered under this package. This package includes accommodation
for two nights, boat safari for three mornings, lunches on cruise boats, guided
jungle safari, interactions with locals and snacks, etc. Please look for
details with the travel agency. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">As per the plan, we travelled from Delhi to Kolkata. Kolkata Rajdhani
Express was on time. We boarded the train at New Delhi Junction. My son was
very excited. As soon as he boarded the train, he jumped to grab the seat next
to a window. Unfortunately, in AC 2-tier, windows were tainted; he was not able
to see outside and hence he was upset. The train from New Delhi station left on
time. Our coach was very clean, and we shared our cabin with a pensioner. It
was a big surprise for us; he was a wildlife conservationist and worked in
Kaziranga National Park. It was an interesting discussion with him on the
depleting status of mangrove forest in Sundarban and human-tiger conflicts in
Sundarban. Our discussion enlightens me
on the impact of our day to day activities and on environments. We need to be
conscious and very protective of our mother nature. This is the legacy which we
are going to leave behind for our children. Probably, I should write my next
blog on how to be a sustainable eco-traveller.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0cm 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">We reached Howrah Junction as per schedule time at noon. My brother and my
Mother already arrived at Howrah Junction late in the morning, from Patna.
Their train was late by a few hours. My brother-in-law was at the junction to
receive us. We were six people, so it was not possible to get in the same car.
So, we decided to take a taxi while my brother and my mother joined my
brother-in-law in his car. In 45 minutes, we reached my sister’s home. My
sister lives in <i>Gaachtala.</i> She was
waiting for us. My nephews had already arrived.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;"> It was a family gathering after a
gap of two years. A joy of tears rolled from my mother eyes. It was a very
resonating moment. We talked for a while
and exchanged gifts. Its already late afternoon and we all were hungry. My
sister already prepared typical Bengali lunch for all of us: <i>Drumsticks cooked in mustard and poppy
seeds, moong daal, tomato chutney, steamed rice, chapati, and Sandesh</i>. We
were hungry so my sister suggested let’s get freshen up first and have lunch.
After lunch, we had a quick nap and then in the evening, we discuss the
itinerary of our journey which is going to start from the next day. In the
evening, my sister and my mother prepared snacks for the journey. Later, we
pack our bags for the Sundarban trip. Our plan was to spend 2 nights in
Sundarban and then come back to Kolkata and then continue for our South India
trip.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Next day, our pick up for
Sundarban trip was scheduled at 7.00 in the morning from Gaachtala bus stop.
We took two cabs to reach the bus stop. Our tour manager was waiting for us at </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Gaachtala</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> bus stop. We received our trip
ticket from him. My son was very excited to board the bus. He was looking
forward to seeing the tiger in Sundarban. He took the seat next to the window.
Deluxe bus was air-conditioned and very luxurious. We took our destined seats.
Our breakfast was already placed on our seats. It includes fresh tetra pack
juice, bottled water, a vegetarian sandwich and a sweet. The bus left the stand
on time. Kolkata was looking very beautiful and sleepy at the break of dawn;
the air was fresh and has a smell of moist soil. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "franklin gothic medium", sans-serif; line-height: 105%;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">There were three more families
along with us on the bus. We introduce our self to each other. Our discussion
was more on expectation from the trip. Some of us were also a bit scared of
facing the tiger. The fear and excitement of seeing the tiger were giving us
adrenaline in our body. In 1 hr. 45 min, our bus arrived Sarberia. The bus
stopped for 15 minutes for refreshment. We had coffee from the tea stall. It
took another 1 h 30 min to reach Godkhali. This is the last point for Sundarban, reachable by road from
anywhere. It is located just opposite to Gosaba Island. From here, we must
travel by boat to our destined resorts.
At the port, a diesel boat was waiting for us. The water in the riverine
was low and looks very still. Sun was very bright with a pleasant warmth. The
boat was very basic with sun shades. On
the boat, we were greeted by a local guide.</span></div>

Daniel Hamilton</i>, a Scottish Banker who initiated co-operative movement in
Sundarban. We reached our resort via <i>Datta
River</i> at Sunderban Tiger Camp. It took almost 2 hrs. to reach our resort
at Sajnekhali where our tourist lodge was waiting for welcoming us. On way to our resort, we saw the Sundarban Tiger View Point; though we haven’t seen any tigers at the bank. My son was
disappointed but still, he was hopeful to see at least a tiger during his stay
in Sundarban.</span></div>

Sajnekhali Tourist Lodge. It is an eco-friendly, located at Sajnekhali in the
Sundarban. It is the only tourist lodge which is close to Sajnekhali Forest
and gives the perfect forest feeling. It offers comfortable accommodation to the
guest which is cost-effective. The lodge was well maintained and the room was
spacious and well furnished. Beauty around this lodge was also fantastic and
peacefully. We booked two cottages with one king-sized bed and a big cottage
with 6 single beds. All cottages were luxurious though from outside they looked
very basic but it was maximum comfort and safety to the tourist. Our both cottages had basic amenities such
as running water, electricity, western and Indian washroom. Even, one could
order hot water as per one’s requirement. The cottages were located next to the
small garden in the dense forest.</span></div>

Sundarban. After a quick hot lunch, which is the typical local cuisine, there was
an optional boat ride to nearby <i>Sajnekhali
watchtower</i>, Sundarban museum and mangrove forest (<i>jungle</i>). The Sajnekhali watchtower is a nice spot to watch
migratory birds and spotted deer. At the break of dusk, tea was served on the
boat.</span></div>

forest were mind-blowing. Trees and green plants on the four sides looked
great. Nature beauty was surprising and majestic. Now it is understood why this
place is called Sundarban- a beautiful forest.
By the early evening, we returned to our resort. At the resort, there
was evening bonfire with tribal folk dance at the common area.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">The local tribes performed the
folk dance (<i>Jhumar/Tusu Parab Dance</i>)
and local Rural Theatre - <i>Banbibi Yatra</i>,
depicting the local custom and religious beliefs. Folkdance is performed on the
agricultural theme and dedicated to the Local Goddess- <i>Tusu</i>. It is performed by either male or female or both. <i>Banbibi Yatra</i> is a story based theater
presentation. As per local myth, Banbibi is considered as jungle Goddess and
she is the principal deity of the Sundarban. The dance/Theatre reflects their
hardship as fisherman and honey-collectors, hate and love with the tiger and
care for the Goddess- Mother Nature. These dance/ theater were performed in
local Bengali language but easy to understand.
This makes village people earn income and this way local dance and
cultural activities live. We should also help to these people. We were enjoying
a folk dance with snacks and feeling very good at that moment.</span></div>

the air in Kolkata. Bell boy brought us hot coffee and tea with biscuits. We
also got hot water for the shower. Later in the morning, our planned cruise was
ready to take us around Sundarban towards <i>Dobanki
watchtower</i> via creeks and numerous riverine and try to spot all different
wildlife-animals, birds, water animals, and forest trees.</span><br />

dense Sundarban forest and at the same time give us chills down our spine for
being seen by Tiger. But unfortunately, we didn’t see any tigers. My son was
very disappointed. We had seen </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">spotted
deer, kingfisher, macaques, nazuri monkey, sandpiper and grey-headed fish eagle</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">.

tradition, culture, and lifestyle of Sundarban’ people. </span><br />

refreshment pack on board while our boat was cruising via <i>Matla and Bidyadhari River</i>. <i>Bidyadhari
The river</i> has high stream; opening to the Bay of Bengal, waves in the river
give us fear to be drawn. Around noon, we were back to our resort. Our lunch
was ready, the local cuisine of Sundarban was served. After lunch, we had a
one-two hour rest. Later in the afternoon, we had an optional tour of the local
village. The nearby village of <i>Dayapur</i>
was on our list. My son was not in a good mood, so he decided to stay back at
the resort and visit the resort watchtower. He took his binocular and heads to
the watchtower with another child from the camp. It has been reported that
there are 64 species of the birds which could be seen. My wife was worried to
let him go alone, so she requested a resort guard to look after him. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">Rest of us decided to catch up
with the resort guide for the trip to the village. We have seen the poverty and
hardship life of the local tribe, their culture, and belief. The life here is
so dull, monotonous and terrible that even in a dream we cannot think. We
should help them through buying something which they offer to us such as – <i>Local handicraft, Honey, Organic Brown Rice,
Hand-painted clothes</i> and other many handmade things. Sundarban is known
for mangrove honey. The mangrove trees bloom in summer and autumn with small,
yellow and bell-shaped flower. These flowers have a pleasant smell and attract
bees. The honey made by these bees is very dark and have a high content of
antioxidant. These kinds of honey are good for constipation, kidney stones,
ulcers, and sore throat. Honey harvesting in Sundarban is a very risky
business and one of the main livelihood of locals. Lots of human-tiger
conflicts are due to this business. We bought 2 l of honey from a local shop
there. There was also handicraft made of clay and mangrove wood. My mother
bought a clay sculpture as a souvenir for the home. On the dawn of dusk, our
guide requested us to head back to resort. He seems to concern about our
security against wild animals and would like to keep the schedule of our visit
as planned. He told us some story behind this man-eater <i>Royal Bengal Tigers</i> which are worshipped in Sundarban as <i>RAJA DAKSHIN ROY</i>.</span><i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;"> </span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">Local people were very
welcoming and warm. At the resort, our manager had arranged a movie about the
Sundarban on tiger conservation. The movie was great informative. Sundarban is the largest tidal salt-tolerated mangrove forest and is very important for
the conservation of Sundarban tigers. Though, the mangrove forest is very
hostile, swamp area, tides twice a day, sharp pneumatophores, changing water
levels, wide riverine, scarcity of prey, etc. Despite this Sundarban tigers
are very much adaptable to this hostile environment. They could swim few
kilometres of riverine confluences and that also in high tides. I believe the
hostile environment in Sundarban, kept influencing this part of the world and
hence kept these beautiful creatures Sundarban tiger safe in this isolated
part of the world. The movie was a great relief for us as my son was happy to
see this movie. After the movie, we were served the hot dinner. There was <i>luchi, steamed rice, steamed potatoes, egg
curry, salad, chana dal, biagun bhajja, and sweet curd</i>. This was the end of our second day in
Sundarban.</span></div>

up by bell boy. We had morning walk at the village and a short cruise to third <i>Sudhanyakhali watchtower</i>. After morning
tea and breakfast we were walk to a village, feel fresh and good to see local
village people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">We had also tried to interact
with village people, fisherman, the Honey collectors, and the woodcutters. The
people of the village are very innocent. They share their daily life of
experience and problems. Walking in the village seemed very nice. On way, we
have seen local <i>Banbibi temple</i> which
was dedicated to the Goddess of the forest. After praying for safety and love,
we left for the <i>Hamilton Bungalow &

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 105%;">Now we were moving towards <i>Sudhanyakhali</i> watchtower for seeing the
natural beauty of Sundarban. It was the last desperate sightseeing effort to
catch the glimpse of the elusive Sundarban tiger. This watchtower is very close
to a freshwater pond, where wild animals sighting is common. Unfortunately, we
had not seen the tiger. Though we saw spotted deer and wild boars drinking
water at the pond. There were few water monitor lizards at a certain distance
but vaguely seen due to their camouflage. There were unique experiences of
watching wildlife from its Canopy walk. All three watchtowers strategically
place on the island to view a large part of the forest. These are the best
platform for viewing animals. And this was the end of our morning cruise. Our
boat head back to the resort and on way back, we were served lunch. Later at
noon, we head back to the mainland.</span></div>

successful in sighting Sundarban tiger, we had a wonderful time there. We had
seen the beauty of the wildlife there in the most natural manner. If you are
backpacking then this is a fantastic place to explore but carefully and also
for those who truly appreciate the beauty of nature. Surely, once you will feel
here that how does Mother Nature take care of natural beauty around the forest.

carry mosquito repellent when venturing in the forest. Mosquito nets are
provided by the lodge.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="color: orange; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">Travelling to Bihar (Patna) for exploring Chhath Festival:</span></u></b></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It was the first week of November, six days after Deepawali, time for
people of Bihar to return home, a mass migration. People of Bihar, also called
Bihari, are hard workers and the economic horsepower of India. They work in different
parts of India as a bureaucrat, engineers, doctors, scientists, and workers.
They have a promise to keep; and for that, they take on the journey to their
home every year to celebrate a festival: Chhath with their family members. </span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is the festival of emotion and bonding among the family members. I
am also a resident of Patna, working as a marketing manager in Delhi. I also
endure this journey to my home every year. But this year, somehow it seems that
it is not possible to endure this journey. My train tickets were not confirmed,
and I was supposed to reach Patna by tomorrow evening. I was very upset and was
feeling sorry for my mother who was waiting for me. She called me, but I had no
answer to her question, “When I will be reaching Patna?” This is the question
bothering me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But in this disdain, my best friend from Patna called me and asked about
my plan for the Chhath festival. I explained my situation. He told me that
there is an alternative option, if I don’t have motion sickness, I could book a
berth in the bus. There are a few private bus services from Delhi to Patna. I
searched for this option on the internet, and surprisingly there are more than
10 bus services from Delhi to Patna every day. I and my wife decided it is
better to check if we could get tickets on the bus rather than missing the
festival this year. Surprisingly, I got the three tickets and that in the
sleeper berth. The ticket was for next day afternoon from Anand Vihar bus
stand.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Next day, my wife prepared snacks and meal for our journey. We reached
the bus stand on time. The bus left for Patna on time. Our sleeping seats were
very clean and comfortable. The travel time from Delhi to Patna is going to
take 18 hours which is a few hours longer than a train journey. But because it
is winter time and the train will be always late, this 18 hours on a bus is
better for the train journey. Most people on the bus were travelling to Patna to
celebrate Chhath festival, so it was kind of a festive mood on the bus. People
were humming Chhath songs. We also joined the chorus. Common people view this
festival of Sun. But then why do we celebrate this festival by the name- <i>Chhath Maiya</i>. Normally, the fact behind
this is not very well understood. There are a few legends behind this fact.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">We had a few stops for refreshments. And by the next day at 5 O’clock, we
were in Hajjipur, a town near the bank of Ganges, near Patna. There was a
traffic jam on the Gandhi Setu Bridge connecting Hajjipur to Patna. This is
probably just because of people travelling to their homes that day. After
spending a few hours in a traffic jam, we reached Patna-Mithapur bus stand. It
was a pleasant sunny day, seems that Patna was welcoming me. As soon we boarded
out of the bus, hoards of auto driver surround us, asking us to join them for a
ride. My wife was getting anxious, seeing the crowd; </span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">but suddenly I heard a familiar voice, Bhaiya Ji when you arrived? </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Chhath Maiya</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> has called you and your
family. He was Sambhu, my neighbour. He runs his auto services in Patna; we always
his auto service for our ride in the city.</span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">I looked at him and smiled and replied, “Yes the </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Chhath Maiya</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> has called us. We reached home in the morning. My
mother was very glad to see us. It was the moment of emotion and love.</span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">The week of Chhath festival is very emotive
for </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Bihari;</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> we meet our family
members, friends, and relatives. We all come together to celebrate the
festival: Chhath.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="cambria, serif"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></font>
<h4>
<b><u><span style="color: orange; font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: large;">Myths of Chhath:</span></u></b></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Chhath</span></i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> is one of the oldest
Hindu festivals, dating back to the <i>Vedic
era</i>. Unlike, other Hindu festivals It does not involve any idol worship. It
is dedicated to Sun and his sister, <i>Shasthi
Devi</i> (Goddess). People of Ganges basin mainly Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
celebrate this festival for thanking Sun and his sister for bestowing life on
the earth. The earliest recorded mentioned about this festival is in <i>Rigveda</i>, the hymn worshipping the God
Sun. The <i>Vedic</i> sage’s intake sun rays
as a source of spiritual and eternal energy. Another mentioned about this
festival is in <i>Ramanaya</i> (<i>Treta Yug</i>); <i>Sita</i> and <i>Rama</i> worshipped
after returning to <i>Ayodhya</i>. Sita had
kept fast and offered prayers to Sun to celebrate the coronation of Ram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And it is also related to <i>Mahabharata</i>
(<i>Dwapar Yug</i>) where the wife of <i>Pandava</i>, <i>Draupadi</i> observe this festival to regain the lost power and
kingdom; and Sun bestowed lost kingdom back to <i>Pandava</i>. Also, <i>Karna</i>, son
of Sun and ruler of <i>Anga-Desh</i> (Modern

<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Another connotation of this festival is celebrated to worship manas
daughter of <i>Brahma</i>. Due to being born
(incarnation) from the sixth part of the nature <i>Prakriti</i> on this day, she is worshipped as <i>Shasthi Maiya,</i> She
is also called <i>Shasthi Devi</i> who is
incarnated to Mithlanchal, a region in Bihar as a <i>Chhathi Maiya</i>. </span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This is also a reason why this festival is widely celebrated in Bihar. She

known as <i>Murugan, Skanda, Kumara</i>, and <i>Subrahmanya</i>), the
Hindu God of war, due to this reason <i>Shasthi Maiya</i> is also
known by the name as <i>Devsena. </i></span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">It is also believed
that she is the Goddess of fertility and hence due to this reason, on the sixth

Devi</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> is worshipped.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">According to another legend, on the day of the shasthi, Goddess resurrected the dead son of King <i>Priyavrat. </i>Thus, on the order of the king, people started the worshipping <i>Shasthi Devi. </i>And later on, this festival continued as modern-day <i>Chhath Maiya Puja.</i></span></div>

wives’: <i>Usha</i> and <i>Pratyusha</i>. <i>Usha</i> means the
first ray of the day while Pratyusha means the last ray of the day. This is

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">In my home, my mother performs Chhath every year. She is the parvaitin in
our home. I helped her in cleaning the house on the day before Nahay Khay. I
cleaned the wheat and rice, raw materials for Prasad for </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Nahay Khay</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> and </span><i style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Ardhya</i><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">. I
put them for drying on the roof. My son was in charge of keeping birds away
from these grains. In my neighbourhood, the festivity was in its prime.</span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Devotional music was playing in the
neighbourhood. Females were singing popular Chhath songs. In the evening, I took
rice and wheat for grinding. During Chhath, even shopkeepers didn’t charge for
their services. The whole society works in a cohesive way to celebrate this
festival. I joined my mother for a voyage to the river for a purification
ritual. Taking a dip in the Ganges river washes our all sin. This year, the
riverbank in Patna city was refurbished. The new bank was created. Now it is
safer to swim in river Ganges.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In the afternoon, my sister and my wife helped my mother in cooking
prasad. In the afternoon, my mother served split <i>chickpeas</i> and <i>basmati rice</i>
to everyone. This is Prasad for <i>Nahay
Khay</i> day. In the afternoon, we ate prasad together. We also invited our neighbours
to join us. Next day, on the day of
kharna, my mother prepared rice pudding on wooden fire. This rice pudding is my favourite prasad. On
the day of <i>Ardhya</i>, we started
preparing prasad very early in the morning. We cooked <i>thekua</i> and rice <i>ladoo.</i></span></span></span><br />

This
brings the joy of togetherness and love among all family members. Later in the
afternoon, I sent my friend to reserve a spot place near the bank of the river Ganges. This is required as on this day usually there is a crowd of worshippers
and it is helpful if one has a spot very close to the bank. Later, I carried
soop in the Daura to the river bank. My mother walked to the river along with
other family members to perform Ardhya. She performed the offerings to Sun at
dusk. Next day we left for river very early morning before dawn, because on
this day parvaitin, offers Ardhya to rising Sun. After <i>Ardhya</i> at dawn on the final day, my mother broke her fast by taking
a sip of Ganges water. She also ate thekua and banana. Later she distributed
prasad to everyone at the river bank. In the home, we prepared a feast for my
mother. We also invited our neighbour to join the feast.</span><br />

Hello amigos! I recently visited a very beautiful and completely offbeat destination place, Bhimbetka. This is my first travel blog. I have a bundle of travel experience to share, but the reason to go ahead first with Bhimbetka is not only due to its prehistoric aspects but also its magnetic natural sparkling beauty which ignites personal bonding with all nature and art lover.

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Here, I will scribe my personal adventurous journey to Bhimbetka. Bhimbetka considered as one of the most-talked-about ancient sites in India. Since prehistoric time, Bhimbetka reflects a long</span> interaction between the people and nature, as demonstrated in the quantity and quality of its ro<span style="font-size: 13pt;">ck art. The cave paintings though look very simple but are one of the earliest recordings of human settlers in India describing their socio-cultural evolution. The earliest cave painting at Bhimbetka rock shelters is as old as 30,000 years. The lush green Bhimbetka is also associated with a legendary character from Mahabharat: Bhima. The word Bhimbetka is said to be derived from Bhimbaithaka, a seat of Bhim. It is the resting place of Bhima when he was in exile with his Pandava’s brother. It is also a UNESCO world heritage. Knowing this, Bhimbetka was on my list for the top five places to visit. </span></span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I visited Raipur January’2017 on a business trip. And Bhimbetka came in route to on my return journey to Delhi via Bhopal. I visited the Bhimbetka rock shelters by Honda jazz<span style="color: red;"> </span>car. Road tour has always been dear to me; it generates the opportunity to feel nature’s beauty deeply. The weather was perfect, the cool wind was breezing and I was engulfed in the serenity of nature passing by. Being a solo traveller always gives impeccable tenderness in me towards nature. I enjoy every moment of my road trip. I always essay memorable conversation with nature, a perplexing moment connecting my soul with nature. This is the secret for a peaceful and soulful living experience. So whenever I get a chance to travel alone, then I do not miss that opportunity. Solo travel also gives an opportunity to discover yourself. It increases to accepting a challenge and these increases or building your confidence level.</span><span style="font-family: cambria, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">The rock art at Bhimbetka is one of a first rare glimpse of homo-erectus settlement in India. It is the collection of Prehistoric, Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods as well as the historic period. It represents the true and live pictures of ancient historical human races and their lifestyle. The subject of art is very rich, engages the socio-cultural evolution of early settlers from hunter-gathering to agriculture and involves the spiritual context of early settlers. It has the oldest known rock art in the Indian subcontinent and shelters were inhabited by Homo erectus more than 100,000 years ago. They used either vegetable colours or minerals like manganese, iron and charcoal for the painting on the inner walls of the cave. The shades of cave preserved the valuable art for centuries. These arts are rich with red, white and yellow colour and vibrant over greenish, pale yellow sandstone. The rock art depicts the human figures man, woman and even indeterminate, animals like boar, ox, elephant and scenes like hunting, battle, festivals and families. Some of the inscriptions also depict mythological aspects of early settlers, for example, monk and hermits living in isolation, an important aspect of VANWASH, a Hindu way of living. There are also the pictures of a mythological animal which is the combination of boar, ox and elephant, yakshas, flying chariots, etc, giving a glimpse of the very early development of Hinduism.</span></div>

It is surrounded by quartzite towers, visible far distance. The Auditorium cave is a horizontal tunnel with a high ceiling. It hosts one of the oldest stone gravings in the world. The cupule and meander stone graving look very impressive. I thanked God for giving me a chance to visit this place. It was an amazing experience. It is one of the must place to visit who loves art and nature. It will give you a deep understanding of the life of our ancestors. We have visited all the 15 rock caves. The rock paintings are very rich in information. All these 15-rock shelters tell about the history of our ancestors, how they lived thousands of years ago, how their life was, what eaten and how their social life was. Ie, every day of their life activities. Another important point is that we can predict our ancestor’s communication skills in the absence of their vocal communication from their available paintings that how to communicate with each other and the process of conveying to others. We hired a guide who explains the history behind all the paintings. Sometimes we also use the internet to google the information. It almost took 5 hours to visit all the rock paintings. All 15 rock shelters are within the range of 1400 meters. There are notice boards with full details at the entrance of all caves, so people do not have trouble finding information about rock shelters.</span></span></div>

We found a nice picnic spot, very close to the Auditorium cave. We ate our sandwich and drank the tea and admiring the artistic view of our ancestors. All three of us were mesmerized by the natural beauty of Bhimbetka. We took a few pictures of ours for keeping this memory alive. This is a very good place for enriching our knowledge of our ancestors and understand the origin of religion and rituals. If you are a student of archaeology and loves art, this is the place which you should visit. This does not place for recluse but also rejoice the company of loved ones. During our visit we have seen lots of couples, sojourning their moment in Bhimbetka. If you are lucky, you will also see wildlife. Bhimbetka situated in Ratapani wildlife sanctuary, the surrounding is also rich with lush green flora and fauna. While having lunch, we were lucky to see doves, parrots and swamp deer. It also has habitats of antelope, deer, chinkara, langur, rhesus monkey and porcupine. There are also lots of birds for example pigeons, doves, parakeets, woodpeckers, mynas and drongos.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Bhimbetka is located close to Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh i.e. 45 kilometres southeast of Bhopal and situated in a small district, Raisen. The nearest city is Obdullaganj. It is easily accessible by road from different cities of Madhya Pradesh. It is situated on Bhopal-Hoshangabad. You can take a trip from nearby cities of Sanchi, Indore and Ujjain also. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">The state capital Bhopal is on the main trunk route between Mumbai, Kolkata & Delhi whilst a Rajdhani Express run for New Delhi and daily trains are available. It also has good connectivity with many state capitals and other important cities too. Also, Bhopal has excellent air connectivity with important cities in India- Delhi, Mumbai, Jabalpur, Indore Gwalior, etc. and approx 46 km from Raja Bhoj Airport at Bhopal to caves which are the nearest airport.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">The transport from the Bhopal lacks public transport. The public transport run daily but the frequency is less and not comfortable because this is extremely tiring and time-consuming. The Taxi service to the Bhimbetka is the best option. The advantages of this will be that you can able to visit nearby attractive tourist spots like Bhojpur temple, Bhimbetka Tal and Narmada/Cauvery viewpoint in a day. Another option is to hire a bike taxi which is available at the railway station and hotels. The bike taxi service is provided by the local resident but could be risky. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
