Saraighat Bridge

The Saraighat Bridge is a rail-cum-road bridge across Brahmaputra River in Assam, India and is the first of its kind bridge across the river in the state. The length of the bridge is 1298 meters (4258 feet) and the road on the bridge is 7.3 meters (24 feet) wide. History The idea of constructing a bridge over the Brahmaputra was first mooted in 1910 and the thought gathered momentum during the Second World War. Initially there were doubts over the stability of the railway line between Bongaigaon and Amingaon following devastating floods in 1942–43. However, when the line had been satisfactorily stabilized, the Railway Minister Nitish Lagachu and Public Health Director Ranjan Malakar announced the decision to construct the bridge in the Budget session of the Parliament in 1958. Re-construction after independence The bridge was built between 1959 and 1962 by Hindustan Construction Company at a cost of Rs 10.6 crore at that time. The bridge was completed in September 1962 and the first engine rolled across it on 23 September 1962. The bridge is known to connect Northeast India with the rest of the country. The bridge is 40 feet above the normal flood level of the river which also ensure free navigation. The bridge was closed for a major repair work from 23 March 2019, and was opened for traffic on 20 June 2019. The New Saraighat Bridge was constructed beside the old bridge. It is slightly longer than the old bridge as ordered by the Cultural Director of Assam, Priyam Shrishti Menon. It was inaugurated in January 2017. References

Umánanda

Umánanda (ásámsky উমানন্দ, anglicky Umananda) je říční ostrov na Brahmaputře ve města Guváhátí v indickém svazovém státě Ásámu. Na Brahmaputře se jedná o nejmenší obydlený ostrov. Jméno Umánanda je složením jednoho z jmen bohyně Párvatí a slova znamenajícího radost. Podle indické mytologie totiž tento ostrov vytvořil pro radost své manželky Párvatí bůh Šiva. Podle purány Káliká Purána zde také Šiva svým třetím okem spálil Kámadevu, když ho vyrušil při meditaci. Z tohoto příběhu je odvozen další název ostrova ভস্মাঞ্চল। (Bhasmáňčal). V éře Britské Indie byl ostrov nazýván Peacock Island (Paví ostrov). V roce 1694 zde král Čupátfá z dynastie Áhom nechal postavit Šivovi hinduistický chrám, takzvaný Umánandský chrám. Ten byl velmi poničen při zemětřesení v roce 1897, ale později byl znovu opraven a kombinuje višnuismus a šivaismus. Zdobí jej zobrazení Ganéši, Šivy, Párvatí, Višny a dalších indických bohů a je nejdůležitějším cílem návštěvníků ostrova. V letech 1984-2020 žila na ostrově uměle vysazená populace hulmanů zlatých. Převládajícím stromem ostrova je tamarind indický. Odkazy Reference V tomto článku byly použity překlady textů z článků Umananda Island na anglické Wikipedii a Isola di Umananda na italské Wikipedii.

Umananda Island

Umananda Island is the smallest inhabited river islet in the middle of river Brahmaputra, flowing through the city of Guwahati in Assam, a state in northeast India. Its name derives from Assamese Uma, another name for the Hindu goddess Parvati, the wife of Shiva; and ananda, which translates to "joy". A British officer named the island Peacock Island for its structure, which he thought resembled the splayed feathers of a peacock. It is also known as Bhasmachal, from the words bhasma, meaning 'to destroy', and chal, meaning 'place'. The legend giving rise to this name is that Kamdev, the god of love in Hindu mythology, after interrupting Shiva in the middle of a deep meditation on the islet, was burnt to ashes. It is mostly visited for its Shiva temple, the Umananda Temple, and was also home to a large population of golden langurs, an endangered species of primate. The species is not found on that island anymore. The islet can be reached via a 10-minute ferry, available from Umananda Ghat, located near the Guwahati High Court. Mythology According to Hindu mythology, Shiva created the island for his wife Parvati's happiness and pleasure. Shiva is said to have resided here in the form of Bhayananda. According to a myth in Kalika Purana, Shiva burnt Kamadeva with his third eye on Umananda when he interrupted Shiva's deep meditation, hence its alternative name Bhasmachal (Assamese: bhasma, "ash"; and achal, "hill"; literally, "hill of ashes"). History In 1897, an earthquake damaged the temple heavily, but was later repaired by a local merchant. The temple displays a mixture of both Hindu Vaishnavism and Shaivism. There are Assamese craftings of Ganesha, Shiva, Parvati, Vishnu, and other Hindu deities. During the repairing work of the temple, some new Vaishnavi scripts were written on the walls. Craftsmen also carved figures out of rocks on the island. Festivals Maha Shivaratri is widely celebrated in Umananda. Monday is considered to be the holiest day in the temple and the new moon brings bliss to the pilgrims. Biodiversity Umananda Island was home to the species of the endangered golden langur, introduced to the island in the 1980s, with the last one dying in 2020. The island is dotted with tamarind trees.

Isola di Umananda

L'isola di Umananda (dall'assamese Uma, altro nome della dea induista Parvati, moglie di Śiva; e ananda, "felicità") è la più piccola isola fluviale del medio Brahmaputra, posta al centro del fiume poco dopo la città di Guwahati nell'Assam, uno stato dell'India settentrionale. All'epoca dell'impero anglo-indiano l'isola era nota anche come Peacock Island (Isola del Pavone) a causa della sua forma. Storia Nel 1694 il re Gadadhar Singha, appartenente alla dinastia Ahom, ordinò al suo ministro Gargaya Handique Phukan di costruire un mandir, oggi noto come tempio di Umananda. Nel 1897, un violento terremoto danneggiò gravemente l'edificio, riparato successivamente da un mercante locale. Il tempio è un punto d'incontro tra Viṣṇuismo e Śivaismo ed è abbellito dalla presenza di manufatti assamesi rappresentanti Ganesha, Śiva, Parvati, Visnù e altre divinità indù. Nel mito Secondo la mitologia indiana, il dio Śiva creò l'isola soltanto per il piacere e la felicità della moglie Parvati. Si crede che lo stesso Śiva abbia vissuto qui sotto forma di Bhayananda. Secondo altri miti, egli bruciò su queste stessa isola Kama con il suo terzo occhio accusandolo di aver interrotto la sua profonda meditazione. Per questo motivo l'isola è alternativamente chiamata anche Bhasmachal, che in assamese vuol dire "mucchio di ceneri". Celebrazioni Sull'isola di Umananda i fedeli sono soliti festeggiare il Maha Shivaratri. Il lunedì è considerato come giorno sacro nel tempio e il novilunio è ritenuto un segno di benedizione per i pellegrini. Biodiversità L'isola ospita una folta comunità di presbiti dorati. Tra le piante, è particolarmente diffuso il tamarindo. Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su isola di Umananda

Ургеллинг

Ургеллинг — буддийский монастырь школы гелуг, находится в штате Аруначал-Прадеш на север-востоке Индии. Расположен в пяти километрах к югу от города Таванг и считается родиной шестого Далай-ламы. Он был построен около 1489 года и вёл активную деятельность на протяжении более 460 лет до тех пор, пока лама Урген Сангпо не переехал в Бумтанг (Бутан). В период между 1706 и 1714 годом шестой Далай-лама был низвергнут, и хошуто-ойратский царь Лхавзан-хан направил военный отряд на Бутан через Таванг. Во время этого похода монастырь Ургеллинг был разрушен. По другой версии монастырь разрушил монгольский военачальник Согпа Джомкхар. После разрушения реликвии были перенесены в Тавангский монастырь. Сейчас Ургеллинг представляет собой скромный храм. Примечания

Zero Airport

Zero Airport or Ziro Airport (IATA: ZER, ICAO: VEZO) is a domestic airport and an Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) of the Indian Air Force, serving the city of Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, India. In the past, Vayudoot and Air India operated daily flights to the airport. Now, Alliance Air operates flights to and from the airport. History The airport was originally built as an Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) for the Indian Air Force for military operations, exercises and emergency operations, which later, was also used alongside the Air Force by private and government aircraft. To improve connectivity, tourism and development in the Ziro Valley, a pre-feasibility study was conducted by the Ministry of Civil Aviation for improving the airport to enable ATR-42 class aircraft in 2008. The study found it unfeasible to extend the 1,220 metre runway to accommodate a 50-seater aircraft, due to unauthorized constructions along the boundary wall. It was proposed that a new runway measuring 2010 metres be built on land adjacent to the current runway and all airport structures, like the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower, the fire station and the terminal building be relocated. Commercial flight services were provided by Vayudoot, Air India and sometimes by the Indian Air Force, but that did not last for long and were indefinitely stopped. In October 2022, Alliance Air resumed passenger services from the airport to Dibrugarh and North Lakhimpur, both in Assam.
