Visiting Dwaraka

by ushar

The name ‘Dwarka’ that came from two words – dwara (door) and ka (Brahma) – stood for ‘gateway to the spiritual union with Brahma’. Dwarka is one of the ancient cities of India with a history that dates back to the 1500 BC and is linked to the ancient Hindu texts like the Gita and Puranas. Dwarka is associated with the life of Lord Krishna, who is believed to be one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. According to legend, Dwarka was submerged in water after the death of Lord Krishna and the demise of the Yadava Dynasty. The present-day Dwarka was the Kushasthali of the ancient times which enjoyed a proud spot along the Saurashtra coast. It is believed that Dwarka was rebuilt six times by different civilisations and the present-day Dwarka is the 7th one. The search for the lost city of Dwarka commenced in the early 1930’s.

The Somanath temple in Somnath,Gujarath is a magnificient edifice,worth visiting.It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located in the ancient ruined city of Somnath.It is considered to be one of the Twelve Jothirlinga temples of Lord Shiva,which are particularly holy.The temple was razed and rebuilt at least seven times for various reasons.Somnath literally means Lord of the moon.Lord Shiva has a crescent moon on his head.

get cosy with lions in the Girnar sanctuary

by vpas

The sasan gir sanctuary in gujarath is a must visit for wildlife lovers.Besides Lions you would find sambhars,deers,peacocks,black bucks etc..There are organised safaris on open jeeps or vans.You could also stay at the cottages in sinh sadan, in the sanctuary.While the accomodation is basic,it is clean and comfortable and not very fanciful.The food is also basic,but clean.There are a few guest houses outside the sanctuary,but the one inside is better.You could walk around for meals outside,but the facilities are just basic.

The old fort doors (darwajas)

by Durfun

Jump on a rixa to zoom past all the old Fort Door sections; it's quite a surreal feeling, how the old ruins are surrounded with 21st c living!!This city was occupied by a Muslim ruler (Ahmed Shah Badshah) hundreds of years ago, hence is named after him.In the city centre one will come across lots of Old Fort Doors (Teen Darwaja, Laal Darwaja, Bhadra Fort, Kalupur Darwaja, etc..).Now, since modern times, just these doors stand, the walls have all been taken down; the largest section standing is at Bhadra Fort (hence it's title since retains that word 'fort'!)
