Post 92:"Siya Vaara Ramchandra ki Jai".There are many places in India related to the great epic Ramayana and we all aware of most of the places which are mainly located in present states of Uttar Pradesh,Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka,Kerala and Tamil Nadu.Everyone of us have heard about the Dandakaranya or shortly Dandakvana,which spans through Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,Chattisgarh, Maharashtra and some small parts of Telangana.Among these states,it is believed that Lord Rama had spent most of the time in Uttar Pradesh.His birthplace,Ayodhya is also located in Uttar Pradesh on the banks of the Sarayu river.Later on,while in exile,Sita Mata was abducted from Panchvati,which is located in present day Nashik district of Maharashtra.Rama met the vanara sena,Sugriva and Hanumana at Kishkindha,located in Karnataka's Koppal district,Ravana killed Jatayu near Kollam district of Keralam and finally,Rama rescued Sita by offering prayers at Rameswaram in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu.Of all these places,Rama,along with His brother Lakshmana and wife Sita,spent most of their time at a place called Chitrakoot,for almost 11.5 years,and from there,they proceeded towards Dandakaranya and finally settled at Panchvati till the abduction of Sita.In present day, Chitrakoot lies in two states,Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh,where Chitrakoot is a district in Uttar Pradesh and it falls as a town in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.Lying along the banks of the Mandakini river(a tributary of the Yamuna river),Chitrakoot is known for its various pilgrimage sites and temples from the Ramayana.After leaving Ayodhya,Rama,Sita and Lakshmana arrived at Shringverpur,the kingdom of Nishaadraj Guhaak,a childhood friend of Rama and from Shringverpur,they proceeded towards Chitrakoot and settled there for 11.5 years(Aranya Kanda of Ramayana-which lasts from Rama's leaving of Ayodhya till abduction of Sita).Some famous destinations of Chitrakoot related to Ramayana and from the Indian mythology include:-

1.Ram Ghat-known for its aartis at the Mandakini river in the evening along with the light and sound show,narrating the history and mythology behind Chitrakoot(Timing:7-00 PM to 8-00 PM).Along the banks of the Ram Ghat lies the Mattagajendranath Shiva Mandir,which was worshipped by Lord Rama.

2.Kamadgiri Temple-It is a Shiva Temple lying atop the Kamadgiri hills,amidst the forests,dedicated to Lord Shiva.Kamadgiri refers to "wish fulfilling temple",where the word Kamad is derived from "Kamana"and giri means "hill".

3.Lakshmana Pahari-It is a hilltop near the Kamadgiri hills,from where Lakshmana provided security to Rama and Sita,by watching from the hilltop if any enemy was coming to attack them,while they were at Chitrakoot.

4.Bharat Milap-A place near Lakshmana Pahari where Rama met Bharata at Chitrakoot.Bharat's mother Kaikeyi,with assistance from Manthara, wickedly sent Rama to exile so that Bharat could sit on the throne of Ayodhya after Dasharatha.Coming to know about his mother's evil plan,Bharat decided to go to Chitrakoot to bring back Rama to Ayodhya and Bharat Milap is that place where both Rama and Bharat greeted each other.

5.Hanuman Dhara-It is a waterfall on the Sankarchana hill,a distance away from Kamadgiri hill,created by Lord Rama for Hanumana,to put out the fire from Hanuman's tail,by which Hanuman burnt Lanka while going to meet Sita.

6.Sita Mata Rasoi-The kitchen of Sita where Sita fed fruits to Panchamunis(Five sages)-Atreya,Agastya,Sutikshna,Sarbhang,Valmiki.

7.Gupt Godavari(Godavari river was believed to have been originated here at the beginning,which has originally started flowing from Trimbakeshwara,Nashik.There are two caves at Gupt Godavari,where one is dry and other is wet.Lord Rama is believed to have meditated here.

8.Ram Durbar-It is a place where Lord Rama used to meet the sages living nearby and settle the problems of the local people.

9.Rama-Lakshmana-Sita Kund,Panchmukhi Shiva statue,view of Vindhyachal mountain ranges(which runs from Chitrakoot to Nashik.At Nashik, Vindhyachal merges with Brahmagiri mountains).

10.Sati Anusuya Ashram:It is the hermitage of Sage Atreya and his wife Anusuya and at this very place Chandra,Lord Dattatreya and Sage Durvasa is believed to have been born.Nearby Sati Anusuya Ashram,lies the Sphatik Shila,having the massive footprints of Rama, Lakshman and Sita.

11.Bharat Koop-A well having waters from all the holy rivers of India,brought by Bharata to do Rama's Rajyabhisheka in Chitrakoot as King of Ayodhya,but when Rama refused to return to Ayodhya,Bharat,on the advice of Sage Atreya,put all the holy waters on a well,which is popularly known as Bharat Koop.
These are some of the most notable places to be visited at Chitrakoot,and if any place is left out,please let me know.Jai Shree Ram🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️!!!

Post 91:Good morning to all my dear friends.Today,I have arrived at the easternmost corner of India,which remains a bit isolated from the mainland India and is also the abode of the seven sisters,which is the north eastern region of India,adorned by seven states-Assam, Arunachal Pradesh,Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram,Nagaland,Tripura.It is said that the first sunrise of India occurs at the State of Arunachal Pradesh,near a village named Kibithu.Arunachal Pradesh is derived from two words-Aruna(means the Sun God or Surya)and Achal(means hills),meaning a hilly land(Pradesh)near which the first sunrise can be witnessed.Arunachal Pradesh is known for its various tourist destinations and prominent Buddhist circuits like Tawang,Dirang,Bomdila,Namsai, Parashurama Kunda(also known as Brahma Kunda),Mayodia (located at the Trijunction of India, Myanmar and China),Pangsau pass(near India-Myanmar border),Anini,Ziro and many more,which we will discuss in details one by one while exploring Arunachal Pradesh.But there is also a prominent place in Arunachal Pradesh that dates back to the Mahabharata era,as recorded by archaeologists through carbon datings,which is also a place of historical and archaeological importance.This place is the MALINITHAN,located at a place named Likabali in Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.The place is associated with the Mahabharata as follows:-
Rukmini(an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi)was a great devotee of Lord Krishna and wanted to marry Him.Her father's name was Bhismaka, brother's name was Rukmi or Rukmavir and the kingdom was Kundinyapur(capital:Bhismaknagar),which is located in present day Roing of Arunachal Pradesh.Today,you can find out the ruins of Bhismaknagar while visiting Roing.Now,let's come to the story.Krishna was omnipotent and knowing about Rukmini,He came from Dwarka(in present day Devbhoomi Dwarka district of Gujarat),eloped Rukmini and came back from Bhismaknagar.Krishna had to elope Rukmini because Rukmini's elder brother Rukmi, didn't like Krishna as Krishna killed Kansa and Kansa was the friend of both Rukmi and Jarasandha(later on killed by Bheema).Rukmi arranged the marriage of his sister Rukmini with Shishupala,who was also the enemy of Krishna.So, Rukmini's friend, Kanta,took Her to the nearby Shiva temple from where Krishna took Rukmini with Him.On their way to Dwarka,both of them saw a beautiful Durga Temple and stopped at that place to seek blessings from Maa Durga,where they met Goddess Parvati,who used to live there in the guise of a Malini(female gardener,one who looks after the flowers in the garden),as Parvati had a quarrel with Lord Shiva regarding a match of dice.Parvati lost that game of dice and She thought that Shiva had cheated Her during the game and so,out of anger,She left Kailasha and used to live at this very place.Later on,Krishna and Rukmini settled the dispute among Shiva and Parvati and named this place as Malinithan (than means a religious place in Assamese and Malini refers to Maa Parvati). This is the legend behind the name "Malinithan".
In the 14th century,when the Eastern Assam region and parts of Arunachal Pradesh was ruled by the Chutia kingdom of Assam,the Chutia ruler Nitipala built a Temple dedicated to Maa Malini,Lord Shiva and Navadurga,as the Chutia rulers were Shakta and Shaivite followers.Their capital was Sadiya(in present day Tinsukia district of Assam)at that time,which is till today renowned for the Tamreswari Dewalaya or the Kesaikhaiti Goxani than(a fierceful form of Maa Durga).The Chutias are also known for the construction of the Harhi Dewalaya(in Lakhimpur district of Assam),but later on Chutias clashed with Ahoms and were defeated.The Chutia kingdom was finally annexed byrhe Ahom dynasty,who ruled in Assam for almost 600 years(1228-1826).
Malinithan, today is visited by lot of tourists from India and abroad,to explore the mythology and history behind it and to know the heritage of both Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in details.Never miss this place while planning "Awesome Assam"trip or "Divine Arunachal"tour.
**How to reach Malinithan:-
1. By flight-Nearest airport is Mohanbari airport or Dr.Bhupen Hazarika airport in Dibrugarh(68 kms away from Malinithan).
2. By train-Nearest railway stations are Dibrugarh(61 kms away from Malinithan)and Murkongselek railway station in Dhemaji district(63 kms away from Malinithan).
3. By road-Malinithan is 10 kms from the nearest town Silapathar(Dhemaji district of Assam),32 kms from Dhemaji in Assam,75 kms from Dibrugarh (via Bogibeel Bridge),100 kms from Tinsukia,170 kms from Sadiya,113 kms from Sivasagar and 470 kms from Dispur(capital of Assam).

Post 90:"One State,many worlds"::that's Karnataka for all of you.Today I am presenting before you one more masterpiece from the Northern Karnataka region,after the Mahadeva Temple at Itagi(Koppal District),Lakkundi group of Temples in Gadag district and Amruteshwara Temple from Annigeri(Gadag district)-and that is the Someshwara Temple from Lakshmeshwar,a beautiful town in the Gadag district of Northern Karnataka,which once served as the capital of the Badami Chalukyan dynasty,before Badami,located in present day Bagalkote district of Karnataka.As per the Indian mythology,the name of the place "Lakshmeshwar"is derived from two names-Lakshmana and Ishwara.Previously,the place was known as Lakshmaneshwara,but time after time,the name changed to Lakshmeshwar.Lakshmeshwara is that very place, according to Ramayana,where Lakshmana cut the long hands of the demon Kabandha on the instructions of Rama.The story goes as:When Sita was abducted by Ravana,Rama and Lakshmana roamed around Dandakaranya in search of Sita and at that moment,inside the Dandakaranya,a demon named Kabandha saw both of them and decided to eat them.So,he elongated his arms to capture both Rama and Lakshmana.Rama understood the situation and instructed Lakshmana to cut the demon's hands.Lakshmana did as Rama told and when both Rama and Lakshmana approached near Kabandha,Kabandha addressed Lakshmana as an incarnation of Ishwara,because nobody could cut Kabandha's hands except God or His/Her incarnation.From then,the place came to be known as Lakshmaneshwara or Lakshmeshwar (Kabandha was actually a Gandharva who was cursed by a sage named Sthulashila for committing a sin).Later on, Lakshmana and Rama proceeded towards Pampa Sarovara to meet Shabari(disciple of Matanga Muni),located in present day Anegundi in North Hampi of Koppal district(also known as Kishkindha).
In the mediaeval history, Lakshmeshwar was made capital by the Badami Chalukyan rulers in 7th-8th century and constructed many Jinalayas (Jaina Temples) and Hindu Temples.Badami chalukyan rulers were mostly secular and they gave respect to every religions,though they were devotees of Lord Shiva.One of the prominent Temples build by the Badami Chalukyas in Lakshmeshwar is the Someshwara Temple,dedicated to Lord Shiva,with carvings mainly from the epic Ramayana.Someshwara is derived from two words-"Soma"(means the moon)and "Ishwara"(means God),as at this place,Lord Shiva recovered Chandra(or Soma or the moon god)from a curse of Lord Ganesha.Mainly soapstone and granite are used for the construction of the Someshwara Temple.Two Jinalayas are present in Lakshmeshwara-which were first built by Badami Chalukyas and later redesigned by the Western Chalukyas or the Kalyani Chalukyas(known as Kalyani Chalukyas from their capital at Basavakalyan in present day Bidar district of Karnataka).Never miss Lakshmeshwar while touring the North Karnataka heritage circuit🙏🙏🙏!!A peaceful place full of devotion🙏🙏🙏.

Post 88:Travelling from the Mahadeva Temple at Itagi in Koppal district of North-Eastern Karnataka,we have now landed in of the most prosperous, wealthiest and commercial cities of ancient Karnataka,which is Lakkundi or Lokkugundi,located in Gadag district of Karnataka.Lakkundi,from the ancient Kannada,Tamil,Telugu and Malayalam texts,is considered as the prominent coin making industrial city of ancient Southern India,likewise we have now four government fun mints where coins are made(Kolkata,Noida, Mumbai and Hyderabad).From one of the writings of the poet Ravikirti(famous for the Aihole prashahthi of Pulakeshin II-609-642),it is seen that Lakkundi was first of all developed as a commercial hub by Pulakeshin II,as it sits in the middle of the entire Deccan region.Later on,after the fall of the Badami Chalukyas,Lakkundi was further developed as a full fledged trade centre by the Kadambas(capital: Banavasi), Western Chalukyas,Hoysalas and also by the Vijayanagara empire,but later on after the downfall of the Vijayanagara empire in 1565 after the Battle of Talikota(23rd January,1565),Lakkundi was destroyed to ruins by the Bahmani Sultans,who once ruled as feudatories under the Delhi sultanate(1206-1526). Previously, Lakkundi had more than 200 temples all around and now almost 20-30 temples survive properly,as maintained by Archaeological Survey of India.The Temples in Lakkundi also follows the Vesara style of architecture like in Itagi and Pattadakkal.Lakkundi now contains Hindu and Jain Temples,where Jain temples were developed later on by Attiyabbe,the wife of the local governor,Dandanayaka Nagadeva,who worked under the Western Chalukyas from Basavakalyan.The prominent Temples present now in Lakkundi are:-
1.Brahma Jinalaya(Jain Temple dedicated to the 22nd Tirthankara,Neminatha and is the largest temple from the Lakkundi group of Temples).
2.Mallikarjuna Temple.
3.Lakshminarayana Temple.
4. Manikeshwara Temple.
5.Naganatha Temple.
6.Kumbheshwara Temple.
7.Someshwara Temple.
8.Nilakantheswara and Kashi Visweshwara temple.
These temples were built from time to time by the above mentioned dynasties.Thus,Lakkundi can must be considered as a "must see"National Heritage,where beauty in present in fragrance in each and every corner of this ancient commercial city,which is now confined to a village!!!
Hope you like the post!!Keep guiding😊😊😊!!!

Post 87:Good morning to all.Today is the last Monday of the holy month Shravana,dedicated to Lord Shiva.Do,starting the day from one of the finest examples of the Western Chalukyan architecture,who ruled from Manyakheta(a town in present day Kalaburagi or Gulbarga district of North eastern Karnataka)and Basavakalyan(in present day Bidar district of Karnataka).The Chalukyas are divided into three parts-
1.The Badami Chalukyas(capital at Badami).
2.The Eastern Chalukyas(ruled in present day Andhra Pradesh).
3.The Western Chalukyas(capital at Manyakheda and Basavakalyan).
The temple I am talking about today is the Mahadeva Temple located in the small town of Itagi in Koppal district of Karnataka.Koppal district is also famous for Anegundi(located in North Hampi region,which is the birthplace of Mahabali Hanuman and plot of Bali-Sugriva Fight from the Ramayana in Kishkindha Kanda).The temple was built by a commander of Western Chalukya King Vikramaditya VI(1076-1126),whose name was also Mahadeva.The commander under Western Chalukya dynasty was called Dandanayaka.The Temple can be called as an extraordinary masterpiece built of the metamorphic rock soapstone(Metamorphic rocks are formed by the combination of various rocks).The commander Mahadeva wrote an inscription in Kannada in one of the pillars of the Temple in Kannada,calling the Temple as "Emperor among all the Temples"(which is called Devalaya Chakravarthi in Kannada).At the gate,you can find the Kirtimukha(I discussed the story of Kirtimukha in my recent post on the Chennakeshava temple at Belur)at the main entrance,with the pillars and the walls of the Temple are decorated with carvings of Makara(a mythical sea creature like the present day crocodile,used as a symbol of valour and pride),Yali,Devadasis(dancers of temples),along with carvings of almost 33 crores gods of Hindu mythology.The Temple is considered as one of the finest examples of Vesara Architecture(fusion of North Indian,Nagara and South Indian, Dravidian architecture)after temples of Aihole, Pattadakkal, Mahakuta built by Badami Chalukyas.A Temple that must not be missed while in Karnataka!!!
Thanks for your time😊😊😊.If any information is left out,please let me know.Have a great day ahead!!!
