ГЕС Сілеру-Нижня

ГЕС Сілеру-Нижня – гідроелектростанція на півдні Індії у штаті Андхра-Прадеш. Знаходячись після ГЕС Донкарай, становить нижній ступінь в каскаді на річці Сілеру, лівій притоці Сабарі, котра в свою чергу є лівою притокою Годаварі (одна з найдовших річок країни, яка впадає в Бенгальську затоку на узбережжі Андхра-Прадеш біля міста Раджамандрі). В межах проекту Сілеру перекрили греблею Донкарай, яка забезпечує накопичення суттєвого ресурсу і тим самим здійснює регулювання стоку. За 1 км ліворуч від неї для закриття сідловини споруджена земляна дамба, при якій і працює ГЕС Донкарай. Від останньої вода надходить до дериваційного каналу довжиною 16,1 км, що прямує по висотах над річкою та приблизно посередині проходить через невелику водойму, утворену на Alimeru Vaghu, лівій притоці Сілеру. Завершується канал у дещо більшому резервуарі, який утримує земляна гребля на одному зі струмків лівобережжя. Дана споруда має висоту 67 метрів та довжину 548 метрів і потребувала 2669 тис м3 матеріалу. З цього останнього сховища, яке простягнулось на понад два кілометри, ресурс потрапляє до тунелю довжиною біля 3 км, за чим надходить у два водоводи довжиною по 0,5 км та діаметром по 5,5 метра, що подають ресурс до машинного залу. Основне обладнання станції становлять чотири турбіни типу Френсіс потужністю по 115 МВт, які при напорі від 173 до 200 метрів (номінальний напір 193,6 метра) забезпечують виробництво майже 1,5 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Відпрацьована вода повертається у річку по відвідному каналу довжиною 0,55 км. Примітки
ГЕС Сілеру-Верхня

ГЕС Сілеру-Верхня – гідроелектростанція на півдні Індії у штаті Андхра-Прадеш. Знаходячись між ГЕС Балімела (вище по течії) та ГЕС Донкарай, входить до складу каскаду на річці Сілеру, лівій притоці Сабарі, котра в свою чергу є лівою притокою Годаварі (одна з найдовших річок країни, яка впадає в Бенгальську затоку на узбережжі Андхра-Прадеш біля міста Раджамандрі). Там, де річка починає описувати вигнуту на північний-захід дугу, її течію перекрили греблею висотою 31 метр та довжиною 625 метрів, яка спрямовує воду до прокладеного по лівобережжю каналу довжиною 2,7 км з озерним розширенням у середній частині. По завершенні він переходить у чотири водоводи довжиною 0,3 км та діаметром по 5,6 метра, що подають ресурс до машинного залу. Основне обладнання станції становлять чотири турбіни типу Френсіс потужністю по 60 МВт, дві з яких встановили у кінці 1960-х, а ще дві у середині 1990-х. При напорі від 87 до 94 метрів (номінальний напір 90 метрів) вони забезпечують виробництво понад 0,5 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Відпрацьована вода повертається у річку по відвідному каналу довжиною 1,2 км. Примітки

ГЕС Тіста-Нижня ІІІ — гідроелектростанція на сході Індії у штаті Західний Бенгал. Знаходячись між ГЕС Тіста VI та ГЕС Тіста-Нижня IV, входить до складу каскаду на річці Тіста, котра дренує східну частину Гімалаїв (район між Непалом та Бутаном) і впадає праворуч до Брахмапутри. В межах проекту річку перекрили гравітаційною греблею із ущільненого котком бетону висотою 32 метри та довжиною 140 метрів. Вона утримує невелике водосховище з площею поверхні 1,6 км2 та об'ємом 18 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 7 млн м3), в якому припустиме коливання рівня поверхні між позначками 203 та 208 метрів НРМ. Між греблею та висотами правого берегу спорудили машинний зал, куди ресурс подається через чотири водоводи довжиною по 44 метри та діаметром по 7 метрів. Основне обладнання станції становлять чотири турбіни типу Каплан потужністю по 33 МВт, які при напорі у 21,3 метра забезпечують виробництво 594 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Для проходження відпрацьованої води нижче за машинний зал обладнали відвідний басейн (поглиблена ділянка русла) довжиною 100 метрів.

Hangseshwari-Tempel

Der Hangseshwari-Tempel in der Stadt Bansberia im Hugli-Distrikt im indischen Bundesstaat Westbengalen ist ein Hindu-Tempel (mandir) bengalischen Typs. Es ist einer von insgesamt sieben großen Kali-Tempeln der Region. Lage Die Stadt Bansberia liegt knapp 60 km nördlich von Kolkata auf dem Westufer des Hugli-Flusses in einer Höhe von ca. 15 m. Der an einem Teich gelegene Tempel ist nur etwa 500 m vom Flussufer entfernt. Geschichte Der Tempel wurde im Jahr 1801 von Raja Nrisingha Deb Roy Mahasay gestiftet und im Jahr 1814 von seiner Witwe Rani Shankari vollendet. Architektur Charakteristisch für große Bengalische Tempel der Neuzeit ist ihre Mehrtürmigkeit; im Fall des Hangseshwari-Tempels sind es insgesamt 12 kleinere Türme, die einen ca. 27 m hohen Mittelturm (ratna) umstellen. Alle Türme sind funktionslos und erfüllen einen rein hoheitlich-repräsentativen Zweck. Die zapfenähnliche Formen der Turmspitzen ähneln noch geschlossenen Lotosblüten. Ungewöhnlich ist die Tatsache, dass die Dächer des Bauwerks nicht – wie ansonsten bei Bengalischen Tempeln üblich – gebogen sind und in den Ecken nicht herabhängen. Die Portalzone ist dreifach geöffnet; sie setzt sich nach oben fort. In der Cella (garbhagriha) befindet sich das stoff- und blumenbehangene sowie blau bemalte Kultbild der Göttin Kali, deren Zunge nicht – wie sonst üblich – herausgestreckt ist. Dennoch hält sie ein Schwert in der erhobenen linken Hand; ihre rechte ist rot (= „Blut“) bemalt. Nebentempel Unmittelbar neben dem Hangseshwari-Tempel steht der bereits im Jahr 1679 erbaute Ananta-Vasudeva-Tempel mit seiner ornamentierten und weitgehend unverputzten Ziegelstein-Architektur. Er hat nur einen oktogonalen tambour-ähnlichen Mittelturm, dessen Dachflächen in den Ecken herabhängen.

Hangseshwari Temple

The Hangseswari temple (also spelled as Hanseswari temple) is a Hindu ratna temple located in the town of Bansberia at Hooghly District, West Bengal, India. The presiding deity of the temple is Hangseswari, a form of Maa Adi Parashakti Jagatjanani Dakshina Kali in Hindu mythology. In December 1799, Raja Nrisinhadeb Roy Mahasay laid the foundation stone of this temple. But after completion of the second storey in 1802, the founder died leaving this far-famed temple incomplete. His second wife Rani Sankari completed the rest of the work in 1814. The temple is known for its unique ratna architecture. Bansberia is an industrial town positioned in between Bandel and Tribeni. Rani Hanseswari was the mother of Raja Nrisingha Deb Roy, hence the deity is worshipped as Maa Hanseswari. The deity is worshipped as a form of Maa Kali in Hindu mythology. The temple complex has another temple — Ananta Basudeba temple — besides the main temple. Also near is the Swanbhaba Kali temple built by Raja Nrisinha Deb Roy Mahasay in 1788. The Hanseswari temple has a distinctive architecture different from the usual pattern present in this area, consisting 13 minars or Ratnas, each built as a blooming lotus bud. The inner structure of the building resembles human anatomy. It was started by Raja Nrisingha Deb Roy Mahasay and later completed by his widow wife Rani Sankari in 1814. The architecture of the temples is the representation of "Tantrik Satchakrabhed". The structure tells about the structure of a human body, because the five storied temple is like the five parts of the human body, namely, Bajraksha, Ira, Chitrini, Pingala and Sushumna.
