Sector 16 Stadium

The Sector 16 Stadium is a cricket stadium in Chandigarh, India. It hosted its first One Day International match in January 1985 and its only Test match in 1990. It has hosted only four matches. The likes of Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma and Yograj Singh started playing cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium. It fell out of favour to the nearby Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, (Mohali) cricket ground. After the stadium in Mohali was built, there was no first-class cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium for 10 years before Haryana ended the barren spell by playing the Ranji Trophy Plate League semi-final in 2004/05. But after 14 years, India and Australia played a match in October 2007. Starting 2025, a new Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in New Chandigarh has started emerging as a new choice for International matches.

Wularmeer

Het Wularmeer is een zoetwatermeer in het Indiase unieterritorium Jammu en Kasjmir. Het ligt in het district Bandipora. De gelijknamige stad Bandipora ligt aan het meer. Het meer wordt gevoed door het water van de rivier de Jhelum. Door het bouwen van stuwdammen in deze rivier is het meer reeds met twee derde van haar oppervlakte geslonken. De waterhoeveelheid en dus ook de oevers van het meer verschillen in de loop van het jaar. Ondanks vervuiling vervult het meer een rol als natuurgebied en is het beschermd onder de Conventie van Ramsar. Galerij
Вулар

Вула́р (иногда Вуллар) — большое пресноводное озеро в Бадипоре в Джамму и Кашмире, Индия. Озеро сформировалось в результате тектонической активности и питаемо Джеламом. Озеро занимает от 30 км² в сезон засухи до 260 км² в сезон дождей. На озере есть остров «Зайнул Ланк» Естественная история Это озеро одно из шести в Индии, которое подпадает под Рамсарскую конвенцию. В сожалению, в настоящее время экосистема озера подвергается большим нагрузкам, в связи с развитым сельским хозяйством в районе. Рыба В озере обитает много рыб, основные виды карп (Cyprinus carpio), огненный барбус (Barbus conchonius), обыкновенная гамбузия (Gambusia affinis), водорослеед индийский (Crossocheilus latius) и виды родов Nemacheilus, Schizopyge и Schizothorax. Снежные форели включают саттарскую (Schizopyge curvifrons), чуррух (Schizopyge esocinus), Schizothorax planifrons, Schizothorax macropogon, Schizothorax longipinus и чушскую (Schizopyge niger). Местные жители не только ловят рыбу из озера для собственного употребления, но и продают её во всей Кашмирской долине. Более 9000 рыбаков каждый день отправляются на промысел карпа Schizothorax. Они доставляют 60 % всего улова в Кашмире. Жители работают в кооперации, некоторые также выращивают тростник обыкновенный и различные болотноцветники на корм животным. Птицы На озере живут чёрный коршун, воробьиный ястреб, змееяд, гималайский беркут, гималайский монал, кеклик, коклас (Pucrasia macrolophus), сизый голубь, кукушка, малая кукушка, альпийский стриж (Tachymarptis melba), бенгальская сизоворнка (Coracias benghalensis), гималайский дятел (Dendrocopos himalayensis), удод, некоторые ласточковые, обыкновенная иволга и другие. История В 1444 году кашмирский султан Зайн-ул-Абидин приказал насыпать искусственные острова в центре озере. Тулбулский проект Для улучшения условий судоходства, Индия планирует построить на озере систему плотин и шлюзов. Работы ведутся с 1984 года, но Пакистан называет этот проект нарушением международного договора, поскольку из-за него изменятся наполненность рек приграничного Пакистана.

Wular Lake

Wular Lake är en indisk insjö. Den är belägen i Kashmirdalen, i distriktet Bandipore i unionsterritoriet Jammu och Kashmir, som den största sjön i unionsterritoriet. Wular Lake är en av Indiens största sötvattensjöar (enligt vissa beräkningar den allra största), med en variabel yta som omväxlande anges som 189, 30–260, 130 och 24 kvadratkilometer. Sjön är cirka 16 km lång och 10 km bred. Hydrografi och biologi Den mottar vatten från fem olika vattendrag – Bohnar, Madamati och Erin Nadi från norr, samt Ningal från söder. Från söder kommer även Jhelum (här benämnd Vetasta), som även dränerar sjön. Sjön är en viktig utjämnande faktor för vattentillförseln i Kashmirdalen, med omfattande våtmarker och ett fiske som motsvarar 60 procent av hela dalens fångade fisk. Över 8000 fiskare är verksamma på och runt sjön. Wular Lake är samtidigt rastplats för ett stort antal flyttfåglar som passerar förbi sjön vår och höst. Historia Enligt undersökningar var den ursprungliga ytan på sjön har cirka 218 kvadratkilometer, inklusive 58 km² av angränsande våtmarker. 1900-talet innebar stora förändringar för sjön, vars sjöyta minskade från knappt 158 km² 1911 till knappt 87 km² år 2007. Wular Lake mottar årligen flera hundra ton med slam från sina tillflöden. Detta, tillsammans med den allt större mänskliga påverkan på sjön, innebär stora påfrestningar för dess djur- och naturliv. Sjön påverkas av gödning från allt mer omfattande odlingar och mängden tamdjur i området. Staden Sopur är belägen vid den sydvästra sjöstranden, och på en ö i den nordöstliga delen av sjön finns ruiner efter byggnader från 1400-talet. Sjöns ytan minskade främst på grund av att delar av sjökanterna togs i anspråk som jordbruksmark och för odling av vide. Odlingarna av vide skedde på 1970-talet, som del av en statlig odlingskampanj, men genom deras negativa påverkan på sjön har de nu börjat plockas bort. 1986 klassades Wular Lake av Indiens regering som en våtmark av nationell vikt. Fyra år senare klassades den som en våtmark av internationell betydelse under Ramsarkonventionen. Sjön och dess viktiga våtmarker har istället börjat marknadsföras som turistmål för ekoturism.

Serai Nurmahal

Serai Nurmahal (Mughal Serai) is an inn of historical importance located at Nurmahal, near Jalandhar. History The Mughal age was an age of development in almost every field including economy. The growing importance of trade and commerce and politics, led to the construction of a network of roads that connected places of commercial and political interests. Along the sides of these roads shady trees were planted, wells dug out and resting places for travellers called serais were constructed. The serai was constructed on the orders of Noor Jahan, wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir under the supervision of Zakariya Khan in 1618AD, then Governor of the Doab. Nurmahal got its name from Noor Jahan, who is said to have been brought up here. Location And Design Nurmahal is situated 16 miles south of Jalandhar, 25 miles east south-east of Sultanpur and 13 miles west of Pahlor. The serai was built on a site measuring 551 square feet. It had octagonal towers at the corners. The western gateway, called Lahore gate is double-storied and built in red sandstone. Its front is divided into panels ornamented in sculptured relief. There were figures of angels, lotuses, nymphs, lions, elephants, birds, peacocks, men on horseback, etc. The scenes represented by many of these had scenes of elephant fight or four horsemen playing Chaugan. Over the entrance to the gateway is an inscription, flanked by scenes of fighting animals and sculpted lotus mounds. The inscription written in four rhyming verses, reads as follows: During the just rule of Jahangir Shah, son of Akbar Shah, whose neither heaven nor earth remembers. The Nur Saray was founded in the district of Phalor by command of that angel, Nur Jahan Begam. The poet happily discovered this date of its foundation: this Saray was founded by Nur Jahan Begam in 1028. Knowledge of the date of its completion was found in the words: "This Saray was erected by Nur Jahan Begam" 1030. There were plenty of rooms, Emperor's quarters, a well and a mosque inside the serai area. Jahangir mentions this serai in his memoirs when he says: ...I took up my quarters in Nur-Saray. At this spot the Vakils of Nur Jahan Begam had built a lofty house, and made a royal garden. It was now completed. On this account the Begam, having begged for an entertainment, prepared a grand feast, and by the way of offering, with great pains produced all kinds of delicate and rare things. In order to please her I took what I approved. I halted two days at this place. In his memoirs, Jahangir mentions this place at another time also. Nur Jahan's Serai was quite famous during those times and "Serai Noor Mahal" in local usage came to mean some spacious and important edifice. Protected monument The sarai is remarkable specimen of oriental architecture. Nurmahal Sarai is perhaps the only known monument in Jalandhar. This historical monument is now looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India. See also Tourism in Punjab, India References

Shankaragaurishvara Temple

The Shankaragaurishvara Temple is a 9th century Hindu temple attributed to the Utpala dynasty. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva and located in Pattan, in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The temple was built by king Shankaravarman of the Utpala dynasty of Kashmir, who ruled between 883 and 902 AD. The temple is in a dilapidated condition and worship is no longer conducted. It is built in a style similar to the Shankaracharya Temple. It is listed as one of the more than 15 important temples for promotion of tourism in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. History The temple was built by king Shankaravarman (883–902). His father Avantivarman had established the Utpala dynasty and after his death in 883 his son succeeded him. He built the temple in his capital city, then known as Shankarapattana, which is the present-day Patan, 27 kilometres (17 mi) away from Srinagar city, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. He dedicated the temple to Lord Shiva. It is named after the king himself. His religious affiliation was of Hindu Shaivism. Apart from this temple, he also built another temple, next to it, in honour of his wife and named it the Sugandhesha Temple, which was also dedicated to Lord Shiva; built to the same plan and with intricate carvings. But it is of a much smaller size. Both the temples are seen in a dilapidated condition. Features The temple's entrance porch, facing east, exhibits intricately sculpted carvings both on its exterior fascia as well as in the interior surfaces, and appears as if they are freshly chiseled and carved though built in late ninth century. The pediments are stacked symmetrically one above the other. The columns at the entrance are also elaborately sculpted in an architectural style which is akin to Kashmiri architecture, particularly in relation to the detailing. The plinth of the temple, and of the shrine next to it, is built in a peristyle, an open colonnaded pattern, within a walled enclosure, which is in the form of a cellular passage, remnants of which are still visible.

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital (India)

The Sir Ganga Ram Hospital is a for-profit private hospital in Rajendra Nagar, Delhi. It provides comprehensive medical services to patients from all over Southeast Asia. The hospital's Minimal Access Surgery department was the first such department in South Asia. The Sir Ganga Ram Hospital also provides training to young doctors under the Diplomate in National Board (DNB) program. The DNB program at the hospital was started in 1984 and currently runs the largest number of DNB specialties in the country. It has the distinction of having the first bone bank in India. On 29 March 2019, the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital became the first large hospital in Delhi to join AB-PMJAY. Currently, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital is led by Dr. (Prof.) D.S. Rana, who serves as Chairman, Sir Ganga Ram Trust Society, and Dr Ajay Swaroop, Chairman Board of Management. History The original hospital was first founded in 1921 at Lahore, British India (now Pakistan) by Sir Ganga Ram (1851–1927), a civil engineer and leading philanthropist of his times. Following WWII and after the Partition of India in 1947, this second hospital was established in New Delhi on a plot of land approximately 11 acres. The foundation was laid in April 1951 by the then Prime Minister of India Shri Jawahar Lal Nehru under the auspices of Dharma Vira, who at the time was also Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister. The hospital was later inaugurated by him on 13 April 1954. Dharma Vira, son in law of Sir Gangaram is also known as the Chief Architect and Founder of the Sir Gangaram Hospital in New Delhi. The hospital nearly closed due to lack of funds in the 1970s. It was restructured by Dr. K.C. Mahajan, one of New Delhi's notable general surgeons, in 1981. As chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Mahajan revised the financial and functional structure of the hospital and opened the Mahajan Imaging Diagnostics Centre inside the premises of the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. The lessons learned in the 1970s changed the hospital focus from being service oriented to being profitable with a high quality canteen service. Dr.S.K.Bhandari established the gynaecology and obstetrics Department at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and worked for 58 years before succumbing to heart failure and COVID-19 at the age of 86 years. Dr.Bhandari is said to have delivered several prominent personalities including Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi and her children. References External links Official website

Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki

Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki (in persiano قطب‌الدین بختیار کاکی‎; Oš, 1173 – Delhi, 27 novembre 1235) è stato un mistico indiano sufi, importante esponente dell'ordine sufi Cishtiyya a Delhi. Biografia Nato nella regione del Syr Darya, Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki rimase orfano di padre in tenera età e venne cresciuto da sua madre, che gli fece studiare il Corano con Aba Hafs. Divorziò a seguito di un matrimonio combinato per dedicarsi interamente alla preghiera, indi si recò a Baghdad, dove impressionò così positivamente Mo'inoddin Cishti tanto da diventarne suo discepolo, nonostante in città fossero presenti importanti personalità come Abd al-Qadir al-Gilani e Sohravardi. Dopo la partenza del suo maestro da Baghdad, Bakhtiar Kaki attraversò il Khorasan sino a Multan, dove conobbe Bahauddin Zakariya. La sua popolarità crebbe dopo aver aiutato il sovrano locale a resistere all'invasione mongola. Nonostante i tentativi di trattenerlo in città, nel 1221 Bakhtiar Kaki venne accolto a Delhi dal sultano Iltutmish, contribuendo a consolidare l'importanza della confraternita Cishtiyya nella regione. Visse in condizioni umili, facendo una vita da asceta. Un suo importante allievo fu Baba Farid. Fu autore di un'agiografia sul suo maestro Mo'inoddin Cishti e di varie poesie in lingua persiana.
