Мехрангарх

Мехрангарх (англ. Meherangarh) — крепостное сооружение в северо-западной части индийского штата Раджастхан. Крепость расположена на высоких скалах Марвара, возвышаясь над городом Джодхпур, с которым соединена дорогой длиной 5 км. В 1459 году город Джодхпур был заложен раджой Рао Джодха, тогда же начали строить крепость. Некоторые части крепости относятся к периоду правления махараджи Джасвант Сингха (1638—1678). До 1943 года в Мехрангархе жили представители правящего раджпутского семейства. Плато, на котором расположена крепость, состоит из трёх участков: дворец в северо-западной части, большая терраса восточнее дворца и хорошо укреплённая часть на юге.

Форт Бхангар

Форт Бхангар (на английски: Bhangarh fort) е крепост от 16-ти век в Раджастан, Индия. Построена е през 1573 г. от камъни и тухли от Бхагвант Дас за по-малкия му син Мадхо Сингх. Отстои на 235 км югозападно от индийската столица Делхи, на 88 км североизточно от международно летище „Джайпур“ и на 32 км южно от селището Тана Гази. Отворена е всеки календарен ден за публично посещение от 10 до 17 часа. Според легендата зъл вълшебник харесал красива принцеса, която мнозина искали и той ѝ дал вълшебна отвара с цел тя да е само за него, но тя го отхвърлила и по-късно и двамата умрели. Източници
Forte Bhangarh

O Forte Bhangarh é a ruína de um forte construído no século XVI, localizado ao pé das colinas da cordilheira Aravali, no distrito de Alwar, no estado de Rajastão, na Índia. O forte possui a lenda de ser amaldiçoado e ser o local mais assombrado do país. História No ano de 1573, o forte foi construído, a pedido do governante Kachwaha de Âmbar, Raja Bhagwant Singh, para servir de residência para seu filho mais novo Madho Singh. Com a morte de Madho Singh, o forte foi herdado pelo seu filho Chatr Singh. Após a morte de Chatr Singh, no ano de 1630, a aldeia de Bhangarh começou a entrar em declínio. Com a queda do Império Mughal, Jai Singh II incorporou Bhangarh às suas propriedades a força, no ano de 1720. Com a grande fome de 1783, o restante da população abandonou a aldeia. Ruínas O acesso ao complexo do forte se dá através dos portões Lahori, Ajmeri, Phulbari e Delhi, além do portão principal. Ao longo da rua principal, antes de chegar ao Palácio Real, é possível ver as ruínas de bazares de jauhri, das casas de dançarinas (Nartakiyon Ki Haveli), do Templo de Gopinath, Templo de Someshwar, Templo Keshav Rai, Templo Mangla Devi, Templo de Ganexa, da casa do padre-chefe (Purohitji Ki Havelie) uma árvore banyan de mais de 300 anos. Todos os templos possuem arquitetura nagara. O Palácio Real ainda possui quatro pavimentos, sendo três pavimentos acessíveis, com paredes internas intactas. Lenda Há duas versões da lenda da maldição. A primeira versão é sobre um mago tântrico, que praticava magia negra, e se apaixonou pela princesa Ratnavati, filha de Chatr Singh. Sabendo que ela recebia muitas propostas de casamento e que ele não seria escolhido, o mago lançou um feitiço de amor em um perfume e ofereceu a princesa. A princesa descobriu sobre o feitiço e jogou o frasco em um pedregulho que rolou para cima do mago, matando-o, mas antes de morrer, o mago lançou uma maldição na princesa, em sua família e em toda a aldeia. No ano seguinte da morte do mago, em uma guerra travada entre Bhangarh e Ajabgarh, a princesa Ratnavati, os moradores do castelo e quase todo o exército de Bhangarh foram mortos. E dizem que as almas dos moradores do castelo e da aldeia assombram o forte até hoje. A segunda versão é sobre um sadhu chamado Baba Balau Nath, que vivia no topo da colina onde o forte foi construído. O guru impôs uma condição para permitir a construção do forte no local, que era nunca deixar a construção do forte fazer sombra em sua casa. Mas Ajab Singh, neto de Madho Singh, construiu colunas no forte que fizeram sombra na casa do guru. O guru lançou uma maldição ao forte e em toda a aldeia. Devido a maldição, as pessoas acreditam que os moradores da aldeia ou do forte estão condenadas para sempre à desolação, e se algum aldeão tentar construir um telhado, aparentemente desmorona sem motivo algum. Turismo O Forte Bhangarh é aberto ao público. É terminantemente proibido entrar no forte à noite. Seus portões são trancados e há uma placa da Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) informando sobre a proibição.==Referências==
Бхангарх (форт)

Бхангарх (хинди भानगढ़ दुर्ग) — форт в Индии, Раджастхан, основан во времена махараджи Бхагван Даса, в качестве резиденции его второго сына Мадха Синха. Сооружения форта находятся под управлением правительства Индии, а также Археологического управления. Правилами управления запрещено оставаться на данной территории после захода Солнца. Заброшенный, считается местом обитания злых духов, несмотря на храмы, дворцы и хавели. География Расположен между городами Джайпур и Алвар, недалеко от заповедника Сариска. Бхангарх расположен в 235 км (146 миль) от Дели, подход к входным воротам форта на последних 2 км (1,2 мили) участка дороги не асфальтирован. Легенды проклятия Существуют две версии проклятия форта. Первая основывается на том, что садху Баба Балау Натх не позволил строить здания выше его, которое было нарушено Аджабом Сингхом. В результате чего город был разрушен. Вторая версия связана с принцессой Ратнавати. Волшебник, сведущий в черной магии, влюбился в нее. Когда принцесса однажды пошла по магазинам со своими друзьями, волшебник увидел, как она покупает иттар (аромат), и заменил иттар любовным зельем. Принцесса, однако, узнала об уловке волшебника и бросила зелье на валун неподалеку. В результате валун покатился к волшебнику и раздавил его насмерть. Но прежде чем быть раздавленным насмерть, он проклял город, заявив, что он скоро будет разрушен и никто не сможет жить в его пределах Место обитания призраков Несмотря на опровержения учёных, суеверия местных жителей, что данное место является убежищем призраков, останется. Они утверждают, что слышали крики и плач женщин, ломающиеся браслеты и странную музыку, доносившуюся из форта. Жители замечали странные звуки и аромат ночью. Согласно поверью, если человек войдет в форт после захода солнца, он уже никогда оттуда не выйдет. Как и у других народов, на ночь двери закрываются, боясь покойников, призраков. Примечания
Akhnoor Fort

Akhnoor Fort is a fort on the right bank of the Chenab River (ancient name Asikni), 28 km from Jammu City. Construction of the fort was started by Raja Tej Singh in 1762 CE and completed by his successor Raja Dhian Singh in 1802. On 17 June 1822, Maharaja Ranjit Singh crowned Maharaja Gulab Singh at the fort's Jia Pota ghat on Chenab's riverbank. The fort has high fortification walls with bastions at regular intervals and is crowned with battlements. There are two-storeyed watch-towers at the corners, which are crowned by battlements and merlons. The fort has two parts which are bifurcated by a wall with a gate leading to the palace on the southern side. The palace is two-storeyed, and the walls facing the courtyard have decorated arches, some of which contain mural paintings. Access to Akhnoor Fort is obtained through both the riversides and the northern side. Formerly, a large part of the fort was in ruins; conservation work is in progress. The fort was declared a National Monument in 1982 under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 and is under the Archaeological Survey of India’s jurisdiction. History The Akhnoor Fort has a history of over 5000 years, and was perched upon an ancient site, locally known as Manda, which has been subjected to a limited excavation, which in turn has exposed a threefold sequence of culture. Period I is represented by Harappan red and grey pottery consisting of jars, dish-on-stand beakers and goblets, along with other objects, including copper pins, bone arrowheads, terracotta cakes and sherds with Harappan graffiti. Period II is marked by the presence of early historic pottery. Period III is represented by Kushana objects and impressive walls of rubble diaper masonry flanked on both sides by a 3-metre-wide street.

Anchar Lake

Anchar Lake (Urdu pronunciation: [ɑ̃ːt͡ʃɑːr]; Kashmiri pronunciation: [ãːt͡ʃaːr]); lit. 'Pickle') is a lake located in Soura in the Srinagar district of the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. Situated close to Ganderbal, the lake is connected with the famous Dal Lake via a channel, "Amir Khan Nallah," which passes through Gilsar and Khushal Sar. The lake is in a highly deteriorated condition. In case of flooding, the excessive water of the Dal is diverted here. The Shallabugh Wetland is fed by water from the Sind River and Anchar Lake. Deterioration Once a popular tourist destination, as tourists on shikaras and houseboats used to travel here from Dal Lake, over the years it has deteriorated owing to pollution, large-scale encroachment, and illegal constructions in its surroundings. In the 1990s, when the Nallah Mar was covered to build the Mearplan highway around the western side of Dal, six-foot pipes were laid under the new road to allow Dal to continue to drain into the Anchar lake system, however, the pipes soon clogged due to waste and debris. Like the Dal Lake and Wular Lake, it is home to the Hanji community, which lives near the lake in an area called Anchar among the locals. References External links Anchar Lake

Barsingsar Thermal Power Station

Barsingar power station project is a 250-megawatt (MW) lignite based power station operated by NLC India Limited, formerly Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), located at Barsingsar in Bikaner district, Rajasthan, India. Background The first 125 MW was commissioned on 28 June 2010. The second 125 MW was commissioned on 25 January 2011. Lignite for the power project is being supplied from the Barsingsar Mine, which is owned and operated by NLC. The mine was commissioned in October 2009. Delays The company was subject to a financial crunch as a result of delays in commissioning the plant. The first unit was commissioned in 2010, but it was reported that as of October 2011 the unit had not reached its target output. In its July 2010 annual report, NLC stated that the second unit was scheduled to be commissioned in September 2010, but the second 125 MW was commissioned on 25 January 2011, and a media report in late 2011 stated that "the modification works for the second unit are progressing very slowly." The media report also said the station contractor BHEL was "failing to keep its commitment that it will commence commercial operations of the Barsingar thermal power project by end of September 2011." the thermal plant declared for commercial operation during Jan. 2012, while Unit-I was declared during December 2011.

Embassy of Belgium, New Delhi

The Embassy of Belgium in New Delhi is the diplomatic mission of the Kingdom of Belgium to India. The embassy is located at Shantipath, Chanakyapuri. The Embassy of Belgium in New Delhi covers the services for India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Bhutan and Nepal. Belgium also operates a consulate in Mumbai and Chennai. The Belgian ambassador to India is Didier Vanderhasselt. Belgium had opened its embassy in India in 1947, just a few months after India's independence. Its first ambassador to India was Eugène, 11th Prince of Ligne. The construction of the current embassy complex (seen in picture) was designed and managed by Satish Gujral, and completed in 1984. The design resembles a fortress of rocky outcrops. The building complex includes the administrative buildings of the embassy, chancellor's residence, ambassador's residence, and staff housing. The embassy was one of Satish Gujral's most challenging assignments, winning him national and international awards. In 2000, the building was recognised as one of the 1000 best buildings of the 20th century The embassy is located in New Delhi's diplomatic neighbourhood of Chanakyapuri. The front facade consists of two large cupolas with a central fold above the entrance. The entrance opens into a courtyard with stone masonry and greenery within. The building is constructed with red bricks. The ubiquitous red brick construction of the building has been compared to early architectural forms prevalent in Mohenjo-daro and the buddhist architecture in Sanchi and Nalanda. Along with two other embassies, the post-modern architecture of the Belgian embassy in New Delhi has been critiqued by Roger Connah for its confusing appeal to pre-colonial glory of Delhi on one hand and the fading (British) empire on the other. Some parts of the building near the entrance are open to visitors, while the parts hosting the residence and the administrative blocks are not accessible to the public. Ambassadors The current ambassador is Didier Vanderhasselt. The ambassador until 2018 was Jan Luykx and until 2022 Francois Delhaye.

Karni Matatempel

De Karni Matatempel (Hindi: करणी माता मंदिर) is een hindoeïstische tempel gewijd aan Karni Mata, gelegen in Deshnok op 30 kilometer van Bikaner in de Indiase deelstaat Rajasthan. Het wordt ook wel de Rattentempel genoemd. Deze tempel geniet bekendheid en trekt vele bezoekers vanwege de ongeveer 25.000 zwarte ratten die er leven en worden vereerd. De bezoekers zijn enerzijds gelovigen die de ratten een eerbetoon komen brengen en anderzijds toeristen van over de gehele wereld. Legende De legende beweert dat Laxman, zoon van Karni Mata, verdronk in een vijver in Kapil Sarovar in Kolayat Tehsil terwijl hij poogde hieruit te drinken. Karni Mata smeekte Yama, de god van de dood, hem opnieuw tot leven te wekken. Aanvankelijk weigerde Yama dit, maar uiteindelijk zwichtte hij op voorwaarde dat Laxman en al zijn mannelijke kinderen zouden reïncarneren als ratten. Het nuttigen van eten waaraan de ratten geknaagd hebben (prasad) wordt beschouwd als een ´hoge eer´. Wanneer een van de ratten wordt gedood, moet deze worden vervangen door een exemplaar van massief zilver. Architectuur Het gebouw werd in zijn huidige vorm voltooid in de vroege 20e eeuw in de late Mogolstijl door maharadja Ganga Singh van Bikaner. De voorgevel van de tempel is gemaakt van marmer en is voorzien van zilveren deuren. Achter de voordeur bevinden zich nog meer zilveren deuren met panelen die de verschillende legendes van de godin afbeelden. Het heiligdom aan de binnenzijde van de tempel bevat een afbeelding van de godin zelf. Witte ratten Onder de vele duizenden ratten die in de tempel leven, bevindt zich een klein aantal witte ratten. Deze worden als bijzonder heilig gezien. De legende stelt dat de witte ratten manifestaties zijn van Karni Mata en haar vier zonen. Het zien van de witte ratten is voor hindoes een speciale zegening. Aanbidding De tempel is vroeg geopend voor het publiek, namelijk vanaf 4 uur ´s ochtends. Charan-priesters verrichten Mangla-Ki-Aarti (ochtendgebed) en offeren bhog (speciaal voedsel). De gelovigen brengen eveneens offers aan de ratten. Er zijn twee soorten offers; de dwar-bhent wordt opgedragen aan de priesters en medewerkers, terwijl de kalash-bhent wordt gebruikt voor tempelonderhoud. De Karni Mata Fair (Karni-matafestival) wordt tweemaal per jaar georganiseerd in Deshnok. Het eerste festival wordt gehouden in maart en april gedurende de navratri´s van Chaitra Shukla Ekam tot Chaitra Shukla Dashmi. Het tweede festival heeft plaats in september en oktober, ook tijdens de navratri´s van Ashvin Shukla tot Ashwin Shukla Dashmi. Tijdens de navatri reizen duizenden mensen te voet naar de tempel. Media De Karni Matatempel verscheen in het eerste seizoen van het Amerikaanse realityprogramma The Amazing Race. Omwille van de rattenverering werd de tempel belicht in de documentaire Rats uit 2016, van Morgan Spurlock.
