Kashmere Gate metro station

Kashmere Gate, also known as Kashmiri Gate, is a key metro station on the Delhi Metro network. It features a unique design with an elevated structure for the Red Line and underground facilities for both the Yellow and Violet Lines. As a transfer station, it connects the Red Line at the highest upper level with the Yellow Line at the lowest underground level and the Violet Line on a parallel underground level, facilitating seamless inter-line connectivity. Kashmere Gate is the busiest metro station in India. It was inaugurated on 25 December 2002. During peak hours, it functions as an alternate northern terminus for the Yellow Line, alongside Vishwavidyalaya station. The Kashmere Gate station serves the historic Kashmiri Gate area of Delhi, and is the largest metro station within the Delhi Metro network, spanning a carpet area of about 118,400 square feet (11,000 m2). It is also the only metro station in India to function as an interchange for three lines: the Red Line, Yellow Line, and Violet Line. Phase III connections Under the Delhi Metro Phase III plan, the Violet Line was extended from its current terminus to meet the Yellow and Red Lines at Kashmere Gate station. This provided an alternative route between Central Secretariat and Kashmere Gate, alleviating crowds on the crowded Yellow Line. It was inaugurated on 28 May 2017 by the then Union minister Venkaiah Naidu.

The British army attempted to conquer this fort 13 times. The Lohagarh Fort withstood repeated attacks of British forces led by Lord Lake during the Siege of Bharatpur in January and February 1805 when they failed in all four attempts to storm the fortress, However the Fort was successfully breached by the British East India Company on January 18, 1826, under the command of Lord Combermere, This victory during the Second Siege of Bharatpur shattered the fort's long standing reputation of being completely impregnable. History Between December 1825 and January 1826, British troops under Lord Combermere initially surrounded the state's capital until on 18 January 1826 its fortress was stormed and captured. After this siege, Bharatpur became a princely state under British Raj control. Of the two gates in the fort, the one in the north is known as Ashtadhatu (eight metaled) gate while the one facing the south is called Chowburja (four-pillared) gate. Monuments in the fort include are Kishori Mahal, Mahal Khas, and Kothi Khas. Jawahar Burj was built by Maharaja Jawahar Singh in 1765 to commemorate his victory over Mughals at Battle of Delhi (1764). Jawahar Burj was also used for the coronation ceremony of the rulers. Fateh Burj was built by Raja Ranjeet Singh in 1805 for the commemoration of his win over the British at the Siege of Bharatpur (1805). These parts of the Fort are granted the status of State Protected Monuments in Rajasthan – Kamara Khas, Kishori Mahal, Hansarani Mahal, Kachahari Kala, Chaman Bagichi, Hammam & mudwall gates i.e. Mathura gate, Binarain gate, Atal Bandh gate, Anah gate, Kumher gate, Govardhan gate, Neemda gate, Chandpol gate, and bastion near Suraj pol.

Mulbekh

Mulbekh ou Mulbag é uma localidade da região de Zanskar, noroeste da Índia. Pertence ao distrito de Cargil do Território da União do Ladaque. Em 2016 estimava-se que tivesse 149 habitantes. Situa-se na estrada Serinagar-Lé, cerca de 40 km a sudeste de Cargil e 180 km a oeste de Lé. A aldeia é conhecida principalmente pela chamada Chamba ou Estátua de Chamba, uma imagem de grandes dimensões esculpida em relevo do Buda Maitreya (também chamado Chamba), datada provavelmente do século VIII, e pelo Mosteiro de Mulbekh ou Gompa de Mulbekh, um estabelecimento monástico budista (gompa) que de facto é constituído por dois mosteiros, um da seita Gelug e outro da seita Drukpa, antigamente ligados ao palácio do antigo rajá Kalon de Mulbekh, situado abaixo. As gompas erguem-se dramaticamente no cimo de uma escarpa com 200 metros de altura acima da estrada Serinagar-Lé, cerca de 300 metros em linha reta a noroeste da aldeia. A aldeia está espalhada pelo largo vale do rio Wakha e foi o local onde praticamente parou a difusão do islão na Idade Média, que vinha de ocidente e se dirigia ao Ladaque central. Em resultado disso, a população de Mulbekh é constituída por muçulmanos e praticantes de budismo tibetano e, além do mosteiro destes últimos, tem também uma mesquita. Estátua de Chamba e inscrições A pouco mais de um quilómetro a leste do sopé da escarpa do mosteiro, na extremidade ocidental do núcleo urbano oriental de Mulbekh, encontra-se a chamada estátua de Chamba, uma enorme figura escavada na rocha representando o Buda Maitreya que domina a antiga rota de comércio que é atualmente a estrada Serinagar-Lé. Segundo alguns autores, data do período Cuchana (séculos I a IV d.C.), mas os estudiosos mais recentes estimam que é do século VIII d.C. A parte inferior está parcialmente escondida por um pequeno templo construído em 1975. Perto da imagem há algumas inscrições escritas em caroste. Há também um édito do rei Bum-lde que ordenando ao povo local que parasse de sacrificar cabras: Bum-lde reinou no Ladaque Ocidental c. 1400, quando o seu irmão Dragspa governava o resto do Ladaque. Havia então o costume de cada aldeia sacrificar uma cabra uma ou duas vezes por ano, retirando-lhe o coração em frente a um altar. No entanto, o povo de Mulbekh não seguiu a ordem, o que é atestado por uma inscrição existente ao lado da do édito real, dizendo que a ordem era muito difícil de ser executada — «Pois o que diria a divindade local se fosse privada da cabra?».

Мульбек-Гомпа

Мульбе́к-Го́мпа — буддийские монастыри в Занскаре в регионе Ладакх в северной Индии. Под этим названием подразумевают два монастыря-гомпа, одна школы Друкпа Кагью и другая Гелуг. Описание Эти гомпы расположены на скале, возвышающейся на 200 метров над дорогой. Они ранее были связаны с дворцом Раджа Чалона мульбекского, который расположен выше. Сейчас крутая тропинка между гомпами и дворцом уже разрушилась. Городок у подножья скалы имеет высоту 3304 м, соответственно гомпы на высоте 3504 м. Население (городка) составляет 5730. Надписи и статуя Чамба Если пройти километр от городка Мульбек в сторону Леха, то можно увидеть знаменитую статую Чамбы, огромная фигура вырезана в скале лицом к дороге. Это стоящий Будда Майтрея или Грядущий Будда, взирающий на старый караванный путь и новое шоссе. Некоторые люди верят, что его вырубили Кушаны в первых веках н. э. Но современные историки считают, что это статуя 8 века. Не вся статуя доступна для обзора так как в 1975 снизу к ней пристроили небольшой храм. Рядом найдены надписи на Кхароштхи. Также на скале записан указ, запрещающий резать коз, изданный царём Лде, правившим западным Ладакхом примерно 1400 году, а его младший брат Драгспа правил остальным. Каждый год, один или два раза, местные жители брали овцу и на алтаре вырывали ей сердце. Потом царь повелел вырезать: О Лама (Цзонкхапа [1378-1441 нэ]), обратил на это внимание! Царь веры, Бум лде, увидев плоды труда для будущей жизни, даёт повеление людям Мульбе отменить, прежде всего, живые жертвы, и приветствовать Лам. Живые жертвы отменяются." Но народ счёл этот приказ неудобным и поверх царского указа, на той же скале, было вырезано живое свидетельство нарушения указа. «Мог бы сказать местный бог, а что, если мы утаим коз от него?» Примечания Литература Francke, A.

Namgyal Tsemo Gompa

Le Namgyal Tsemo Gompa (tibétain : རྣམ་རྒྱལ་རྩེ་མོ་དགོན་པ, Wylie : rnam rgyal rtse mo dgon pa, THL : Namgyal Tsemo Gompa) est un monastère qui a été construit en 1430 sur le sommet d'une colline de la vallée de l'Indus, qui surplombe le palais de Leh, à 3 500 m d'altitude. C'est le roi du Ladakh Tashi Namgyal (1500-1532, de la dynastie Namgyal (རྣམ་རྒྱལ།) au Ladakh, qui en ordonna la construction, en remarquant que la position de ce lieu constituait un enjeu stratégique pour cette région du Ladakh, dans l'État du Jammu-et-Cachemire, au nord de l'Inde. Par cette position dominante, surtout dans le district du même nom, le monastère Namgyal Tsemo Gompa faisait, en lui-même, l'objet d'un splendide observatoire sur la ville, la vallée et les montagnes environnantes. Cela n'échappa pas en 1533, au râja Soyang Namgyal, qui fit à cet égard, ériger ce que certains dénomment, encore aujourd'hui, la forteresse du pic de la Victoire (Namgyal Tsemo). La construction de Namgyal Tsemo Gompa constitua un outil essentiel dans la réalisation de l'unité de toute cette région en un seul grand royaume. Il déplaça, le siège de la capitale qui se trouvait dans la ville de Shey au profit de Leh. Description Ce Gompa (monastère) est affilié à l'école gelugpa du bouddhisme tibétain. Namgyal Tsemo Gompa abrite une imposante statue du bouddha Maitreya (futur Bouddha, également connu sous le nom de Bouddha qui rit) sur trois étages de hauteur. Le monastère Namgyal Tsemo de Leh Ladakh abrite également une statue d' Avalokiteśvara Son nom signifie: le « seigneur qui observe depuis le haut » et de Manjushri connu pour sa sagesse, important dans les bouddhismes mahāyāna et vajrayāna. Son nom signifie: Gloire paisible., d'environ un étage, ainsi que d'une riche collection de manuscrits anciens et de fresques.

Mosteiro de Namgyal Tsemo

O Mosteiro de Namgyal Tsemo ou Gompa de Namgyal Tsemo é um mosteiro budista tibetano (gompa) do Ladaque, noroeste da Índia. Situa-se no monte Namgyal, que domina a cidade de Lé, acima do antigo palácio real. O mosteiro foi fundado no século XV ou XVI pelo rei do Ladaque Tashi Namgyal — algumas fontes referem o ano de 1430, o que é incoerente com outras fontes segundo as quais Tashi Namgyal reinou no final do século XVI. Acima do mosteiro situam-se as ruínas de um antigo forte. O mosteiro dispõe de uma rica coleção de antigos manuscritos budistas e pinturas murais. As atrações mais valiosas são uma estátua de ouro do Buda Maitreya (Buda do futuro, também chamado Buda risonho), com três andares de altura, e outras de Avalokiteshvara e Manjusri, com cerca de um andar de altura.

Phyang

El Gompa de Phyang també és conegut com a Gompa Gouon. Està situat a la part superior del poblet de Chhiwang, a uns 17 km a l'oest de Leh, en una vall a la riba dreta de l'Indus, a Ladakh. Hom diu que el monestir fou aixecat el 1530 per desig del rei Tashi Namgyal, el fundador de la dinastia, després d'una victòria militar. També s'atribueix la fundació al seu fill Jamyang Namgyal. Hi ha una tradició que diu que el rei patia de lepra i no podia trobar cap remei que el guarís. Un oracle li va indicar que calia enviar missatgers al Tibet a cercar un conegut lama. Així es va fer i el rei va quedar curat. En aquesta època aquest centre religiós es va omplir de belles estàtues, thangkes y còpies del Kangyur i del Tengyur, sagrades escriptures que encara es conserven a Phyang. El monestir es desenvolupa al voltant del pati, per una curta escala s'arriba al Tsogkhang (Temple Vell), una de les tres sales més importants del complex, l'antiga sala d'assemblees. La imatge central d'aquesta sala és la d'Amitabha, a la seva esquerra les d'Avalokitesvara, amb 1.000 braços, símbol de la seva força, a més de diversos lames de la congregació "Kagyü", de "birrets vermells". A la dreta de l'estàtua central veiem les imatges de Tilopa (988-1069), un dels fundadors de la secta, i de Maitreya. Hi ha, a més altres imatges: Shakiamuni, Vairocana i Maitreya. Els murs són decorats amb pintures murals. Aquí es guarda el gran thangka que només es desplega pel festival de Phyang, a l'agost. Aquesta peça és nova, es va consagrar el 1991, ja que el primitiu, dedicat a Tsongkhapa es va perdre en una invasió a mitjan segle xix. Una altra dependència interessant és el Gonkhang (Temple dels Protectors), dedicat a Mahakakala, un ferotge guarda. Els rostres de les divinitats d'aquesta sala estan coberts per una tela, i es mostren també els dies del festival. A la sala es conserven armes d'època mogol, record d'una batalla, amb victòria de Ladakh, que es veu que es va desenvolupar en aquest mateix lloc El Nou Dukhang, de menor interès, va ser bastit per Damchos Gyurmed, la 31a reencarnació i predecessor del lama actual, que té aquí el seu tron. La sala està també atapeïda d'imatges diverses. El monestir es va renovar el 1975, té un centenar de monjos. Bibliografia The Guide of the Monastery at Phyang, autor desconegut
Phyang Monastery

Phyang Monastery, Phyang (or Phiyang) Gompa is a Buddhist monastery located in Fiang village, just 15 or 16 kilometres west of Leh in Ladakh, northern India. It was established in 1515. Name The local name of Phyang Monastery is "Gangon Tashi Chodzong" (Ladakhi: སྒང་སྔོན་བཀྲ་ཤིས་ཆོས་རྫོང། ; sgang sngon bkra shis chos rdzong). The name is derived from Gang Ngonpo (སྒང་སྔོན་པོ་) which means blue mountain, referring to the hill behind the monastery. History There are a couple of divergent traditions regarding its founding. "The site where the monastery now stands was once a part of the numerous monastic properties, offered during the time of Dharmaraja Jamyang Namgial to Chosje Damma Kunga. The hill of Phyang served as the venue of a monastery, known as Tashi Chozong, established in the year 1515. A monastic community was introduced to the monastery and with this started, the first establishment of the Digung teachings in Ladakh." Others say that it was founded by king Tashi Namgyal, whose reign has been established from independent sources to have been in the third quarter of the sixteenth century. There are a number of chronological difficulties in establishing events in Ladakh at this period and it is assumed that some names have been omitted from the Chronicle either from mistakes in memory or tradition, or a deliberate attempt to eradicate some events which were thought better forgotten. The monastery is one of the earliest monasteries in Ladakh belonging to the Drikung Kagyu, Dri-gung-pa or Drigungpa school, one of eight schools derived from the teachings of Phakmadrupa Dorje Gyelpo (1110-1170 CE). There are many Drikung monasteries in Ladakh: three main and more than thirty branch monasteries. After the monastery was built, it specialised in Drigung teachings. The special protector of monastery is Achi Choki Dolma Aphyi Choskyi Sdrolma.The current reincarnation of Skyabje Toldan Rinpoche is the head lama. Description Phyang contains numerous sacred shrines inside the monastery, frescoes dating from the royal period, and a 900-year-old museum which has an extensive collection of idols including a number of fine Kashmiri bronzes probably dating to the 14th century, thangkas, Chinese, Tibetan and Mongolian firearms and weapons. Festival The Gang-Sngon Tsedup Festival is held annually from 17th day to 19th day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar. On the 2nd and 3rd day of the 6th month of the Tibetan calendar Phyang serves as a venue for sacred dances.
