Kanpur Zoological Park

Der Kanpur Zoological Park Hindi कानपुर प्राणी उद्यान, auch Allen Forest Zoo, ist ein Zoo im indischen Bundesstaat Uttar Pradesh, der etwa fünf Kilometer nordwestlich des Zentrums der Stadt Kanpur liegt. Geschichte Der britische Industrielle George Burney Allen war Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts Eigentümer eines ca. 77 Hektar großen Waldgebiets in der Nähe der Stadt Kanpur, das Allen-Wald genannt wurde. Das Gebiet wurde als Ruhesitz genutzt und diente außerdem britischen Industriellen als Jagdgebiet. Im Wald liegt ein 18 Hektar großer See, der nach starkem Regen zuweilen in den nahen Ganges überflutete. Dadurch konnten viele Fische und Schildkröten in den Ganges entkommen. Um dies zu verhindern, wurden Wehre installiert. Auf Betreiben von George Burney Allen und in Absprache mit dem damaligen Gouverneur wurde das gesamte Gelände von der lokalen Regierung übernommen. Die Bevölkerung fischte illegal im See und fügte auch dem Wald einigen Schaden zu. Um weitere Beschädigungen zu vermeiden, wurde beschlossen, das Gebiet in einen Zoo umzuwandeln. Mit dem Bau wurde im Jahr 1971 begonnen. Am 4. Februar 1974 wurde der Zoo mit einigen Tierhäusern und Freianlagen unter dem Namen Allen Forest Zoo der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Anlagen Der Kanpur Zoological Park enthält tiergärtnerisch genutzte Flächen, einen Botanischen Garten und natürliche, unberührte Waldflächen. Diese Waldflächen bieten vielen Wildtieren einen freien Lebensraum, dazu zählen Axishirsche, Languren, Rhesusaffen, Schleichkatzen, Stachelschweine, Mungos, Eichhörnchen und viele mehr. Eine große Anzahl an Vogelarten bewohnt das Gelände ebenfalls. Der See wird als natürliche Wasserfläche gern als Tränke genutzt. Die Tierhäuser des Zoos enthalten geräumige Unterkünfte, die Freianlagen sind großzügig gestaltet, liegen meist weit auseinander und bieten einen Sichtschutz für andere Zootiere. Dadurch werden Störungen durch unverträgliche Arten vermieden. Zu den Hauptausstellungsbereichen im Kanpur Zoological Park zählen außerdem ein Schmetterlingshaus, mehrere Freifluganlagen für Vögel, ein Nachttierhaus und ein Aquarium. Im Gelände sind auch lebensgroße Skulpturen von Dinosauriern aufgestellt. Da die einzelnen Anlagenbereiche aufgrund der Größe der Gesamtfläche teilweise weit auseinander liegen, wird den Besuchern die Fahrt mit einer Zooeisenbahn angeboten. Tierbestand Im Kanpur Zoological Park werden schwerpunktmäßig Tiere der heimischen Fauna gezeigt. Der Zoo beteiligt sich ebenfalls an Ex-situ-Arterhaltungsprogrammen für mehrere seltene Tierarten, setzt sich insbesondere für die Erhaltung der Barasinghas (Rucervus) ein und wurde als Zentrum für deren Zucht ernannt (conservation breeding center). Im Durchschnitt werden vier Jungtiere der Art pro Jahr im Zoo geboren. Nachfolgende Bilder zeigen einige Tiere aus dem Bestand des Zoos. Einzelnachweise Weblinks

Balaghat Junction railway station

Balaghat Junction (station code: BTC) is situated on the Jabalpur–Nainpur–Gondia section of South East Central Railway (earlier called Bengal Nagpur Railway or BNR), in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Rail routes through the junction include routes towards Jabalpur, Gondia, Katangi on the Satpura Railway. The "10001 Satpura Express", a narrow-gauge train, was started in 1901 by the British Government and completed 100 years of service in 2001. This train used to hold the unique distinction of operating first-class service on narrow-gauge track; it was the world's fastest narrow-gauge train. The line was formerly narrow gauge (2 ft 6 in (762 mm)) throughout its entire length, but the section between Balaghat–Gondia was converted to broad gauge in 2005–2006, connecting Balaghat to India's national network for the first time. The remaining work of broad gauge conversion i.e. of Jabalpur–Balaghat section recently got completed along with electrification of entire route. 02389/02390 Gaya–Chennai Central Festival Special became the first passenger train to run after gauge conversion. The route from Balaghat to Katangi was converted from narrow gauge to broad gauge on 6 May 2010 and the new rail line project from Katangi to Tirodi is under implementation; its length is about 12 km, with a short route to Nagpur from Balaghat via Tumsar. Electrification work of Balaghat–Katangi section is underway. Balaghat also has a branch line towards Bharveli. Mines operated by MOIL Limited in the eastern part of the city use the system to transport manganese ore. Since the station is not on the main line, people have to depend on Gondia Junction railway station.

Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau der Gnaden

Die Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau der Gnaden (englisch Basilica Our Lady of Graces) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Sardhana, 19 km nordwestlich von Meerut im indischen Bundesstaat Uttar Pradesh. Die Kirche im Bistum Meerut ist der Gottesmutter gewidmet und trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor. Geschichte Der aus Mitteleuropa gekommene Söldner Walter Reinhardt Sombre heiratete Begum Samru, eine 14-jährige Tänzerin, die nach dessen Tod 1778 ihm als Herrscherin des Fürstentums Sardhana folgte. Sie konvertierte 1781 zum Katholizismus und nahm den Namen Joanna Nobilis an. Nobilis gilt als einzige katholische Herrscherin in Indien. Sie beschloss, in Sardhana eine Kirche zu errichten und zu finanzieren. Der Bau wurde mit wertvollen Materialien von bedeutenden Handwerkern ausgeführt. Zwei große Seen in der Nähe der Kirche sind das Ergebnis des Lehmabbaus für die Backsteine des Kirchenbaus. Als Baubeginn wird 1809 gemäß einer Inschrift angenommen, die Fertigstellung erfolgte wohl 1822. Auf Wunsch der Begum Samru an den Papst, Sardhana zu einem unabhängigen Verwaltungsbezirk zu machen, gründete Papst Gregor XVI. 1834 das Apostolische Vikariat Sardhana aus Teilen des Apostolischen Vikariats Tibet-Hindustan und ernannte Julius Cäsar Scotti zum Apostolischen Vikar. Die Kirche wurde dadurch zur Kathedrale von Sardhana. Scotti war jedoch der einzige apostolische Vikar, und schließlich wurde das apostolische Vikariat Sardhana mit dem von Agra zusammengelegt. 1961 wurde die Kirche als einzige Kirche Nordindiens durch Papst Johannes XXIII. in den Rang einer Basilica minor erhoben. Architektur Der Architekt der Kirche war Antonio Reghellini, ein Italiener aus Vicenza. Die Kirche basiert auf des Petersdoms mit Einflüssen von Andrea Palladio und der indischen Architektur. Vor dem Portal steht eine Veranda mit griechischen Säulen. Über der Basilika erheben sich zwei Türme und drei prachtvolle Kuppeln, von denen eine durch Buntglasfenster den Altarraum beleuchtet. Ausstattung Der Altar und sein Umfeld wurden aus Marmor gefertigt und mit Halbedelsteinen ausgestaltet. Auch der weitere Innenraum der Kirche besteht größtenteils aus Marmor, der mit höchster Handwerkskunst verarbeitet wurde. In der Nähe des Altarraums befindet sich das hohe Grabmal der Begum. Es wurde vom italienischen Bildhauer Adamo Tadolini geschnitzt und von Italien erst nach Kalkutta und dann in Booten und Ochsenkarren von dort nach Sardhana transportiert. Es stellt die Begum Sumru auf dem Thron mit einer Schriftrolle von Kaiser Shah Alam II. dar, die ihr Sardhana als Lehen nach dem Tod ihres Mannes überträgt.
