Brindavan Gardens

The Brindavan Gardens is a garden located 12 k.ms from the city of Mysore in the Mandya District of the Indian State of Karnataka. It lies adjoining the Krishnarajasagara Dam which is built across the river Kaveri. The work on laying out this garden was started in the year 1927 and completed in 1932. Visited by close to 2 million tourists per year, the garden is one of the major attractions of Srirangapatna. Sir Mirza Ismail, the Deewan of Mysore, a man with a penchant for gardens, founded the Brindavan Gardens (Krishnaraja Sagar Dam in particular) and built the Cauvery River high-level canal to irrigate 120,000 acres (490 km2) in modern Mandya district. The gardens were designed by German botanist and landscape designer Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel. Garden The garden is maintained by the Cauvery Niravari Nigama (Cauvery Irrigation Corporation), a Government of Karnataka enterprise. It is spread across an area of 60 acres (240,000 m2). Adjoining it is also a fruit orchard spread across 75 acres (300,000 m2) and 2 horticultural farms, Nagavana (30 acres) and Chandravana (5 acres). The garden is laid out in 3 terraces which contain water fountains, Ficus trees, foliage plants such as Duranta plumaria and Euphorbia and flowering plants like Celosia, Marigold and bougainvillea. The garden is open to the public and an entry-fee is charged. The garden also has topiary works (sculptures of animals created by clipping shrubs), pergolas (shaded passageway covered by creepers) and gazebos. The main attraction of the park is the musical fountain in which bursts of water are synchronised to the music of songs. There is also a lake within the garden with boating facilities available for visitors. The garden was renovated in 2005 with a cost of Rs. 50 million. The renovation included sprucing up the musical fountain using a digitised system and repairs of dysfunctional fountains. In 2007, the gardens were closed for a brief duration as a safety measure to avoid trouble related to the Cauvery water dispute. Finances In the year 2003–2004, the gate collection was Rs. 2.07 crores, which increased to Rs 2.69 crores in 2004-05 and Rs 4.3 crores in 2005–06. This revenue is shared between Cauvery Niravari Nigam and Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) in the ratio 3:1. Gallery Trains in 1964, Indian Railways introduced a train that was named after a Brindavan Gardens that call it Brindavan Express. Nowadays this train was still same name of the Brindavan Gardens Notes External links Brindavana Gardens Officials Website

Ross Island (Andamanen)

Rosser Island ist eine kleine, unbewohnte Nebeninsel von South Andaman Island an der Hafeneinfahrt von Port Blair. Das zu den Andamanen gehörige Eiland hat eine Fläche von 31,2 Hektar. Geschichte Infolge des Indischen Aufstands 1857 benötigte die britische Kolonialmacht in Indien Platz für die Unterbringung ihrer Gefangenen. Sie deportierte daher zunächst rund 200 Menschen auf die Insel und beschäftigte sie als Zwangsarbeiter bei der Rodung des Urwaldes und der Errichtung von Baracken sowie von Villen für die Aufseher der Strafkolonie. Während den Offizieren ein angenehmer Lebensstil mit gepflegten Gärten, Bungalows und Tenniscourt möglich war, mussten die Gefangenen Fronarbeit leisten. Sie litten an Mangelernährung und Krankheiten wie Malaria, Ruhr und Cholera. An den Gefangenen wurden medizinische Experimente mit Verabreichung von China-Rinde durchgeführt, um die Wirksamkeit von Malaria-Medikamenten zu testen. Indes bezeichneten die britischen Aufseher die Insel als „Paris des Ostens“. Weblinks Informationen zur Geschichte auf andamanholidays.com (englisch). Einzelnachweise
Isola di Ross (Andamane)

L'isola di Ross è un'isola dell'arcipelago delle Andamane. Fa parte del distretto di Andaman Meridionale, appartenente al territorio indiano delle Andamane e Nicobare. Si trova a 3 km a est da Port Blair, la capitale delle Andamane e Nicobare e sede dell'aeroporto più vicino. Prende il nome dal capitano Daniel Ross, idrografo della Compagnia britannica delle Indie orientali. Dopo aver ospitato dal 1858 al 1945 una colonia penale, dal 1979 è sede della base militare di INS Jarawa. Storia Dopo la mappatura di Archibald Blair delle isole Andamane e Nicobare Islands nel 1788, un insediamento venne creato a Port Cornwallis, l'attuale Port Blair. Negli anni 1789-92, un ospedale ed un sanatorio vennero costruiti sulla vicina isola di Ross. Sei decenni dopo, i moti del 1857 spinsero i britannici a rafforzare il controllo sull'isola. Ross ospitò il centro amministrativo delle Andamane fino a che un terremoto lo distrusse nel 1941. Nel novembre 1857, il Governo coloniale stabilì una colonia penale per isolare i reclusi che si avevano partecipato ai moti contro i britannici. Le baracche di bambù della prima colonia vennero presto sostituite da edifici, uffici e altre strutture costruite dai prigionieri, mentre l'isola di Viper divenne la sede della prigione vera e propria. Nel 1872, il posto di Soprintendente dell'isola venne elevato al rango di Commissario capo; il primo ad occupare questo ruolo fu Sir Donald Martin Stewart, dopo l'assassinio del viceré dell'India sir Richard Southwell Bourke a Port Blair. Un forte terremoto causò l'abbandono dell'isola nel 1941 e gli uffici del comando vennero trasferiti a Port Blair. Nove mesi dopo, le truppe giapponesi investirono l'isola e l'occuparono fino al 1945. Durante questo periodo, la Government House divenne la residenza dell'ammiraglio giapponese. Subhas Chandra Bose, che lottava contro il governo coloniale britannico, risiedette nell'isola nel dicembre 1943, facendo issare il tricolore indiano sulla Government House. Rimangono sull'isola resti di fortificazioni giapponesi, anche dopo l'arrivo degli Alleati nel 1945. Nell'aprile 1979, l'isola venne ceduta alla Marina indiana che vi ha edificato la piccola base militare di INS Jarawa, che prende il nome di una tribù indigena della Andamane.

Palakkad Fort

Palakkad Fort is an old fort situated in the heart of Palakkad city in Kerala state, southern India. History The Palakkad Fort is said to have existed from very ancient times but believed to be constructed in the present form in 1766 CE, however little is known of its early history. The local ruler, Palakkad Achchan, was originally a tributary of the Zamorin but had become independent before the beginning of the 18th-century. In 1757 he sent a deputation to Hyder Ali seeking help against an invasion threatened by the Zamorin. Hyder Ali seized upon the opportunity to gain possession of a strategically important location such as Palghat and from that time until 1790 the fort was continually in the hands of the Mysore Sultans or the British. It was first taken by the latter in 1768 when Colonel Wood captured it during his raid on Hyder Ali's fortresses, but it was retaken by Hyder a few months later. It was recaptured by Colonel Fullarton in 1783, after a siege that lasted eleven days but was abandoned the following year. It later fell into the hands of the Zamorin's troops. In 1790 it was finally captured by the British under Colonel Stuart. It was renovated and was used as a base for operations that ended with the storming of Srirangapatnam. The fort continued to be garrisoned until the middle of the 19th century. In the early 1900s, it was converted into a taluk office. Current status There is a large ground between the Fort and the Palakkad Townhall, known as Kota Maidanam (Fort Maidan/Fort Grounds). The ground is now used to stage cricket matches, exhibitions, and public meetings. An open-air auditorium called "Rappadi", currently under the preservation of the Archeological Survey of India, is also located within the spacious grounds of the Fort. Additionally, there is a children's park on one side of the Fort.This children's park is known by the name "Vatika", which has a beautiful garden alongside outdoor playground equipments for kids. Interior The Palakkad Special Sub Jail is also located within the fort. A garden called Vatika-Shilavatika is maintained inside the court.

Храм Партасарати

Храм Партасарати или Партхасаратхи (там. பார்த்தசாரதி திருக்கோயில்) — один из старейших индуистских храмов в Ченнаи, Тамилнад, Индия. Сохранившаяся надпись свидетельствует, что он был возведён при паллавском царе Дантивармане (796—846). Достроен в XVI веке. Однако некоторые священные гимны указывают, что храм существовал уже в V—VI веках. Храм посвящён Кришне (или воплотившемся в нём Вишну), который, согласно «Махабхарате», был колесничим (сарати) у одного из братьев-пандавов, Арджуны (Парта) в битве при Курукшетре, и спас ему жизнь, заслонив от стрел Бхишмы. Храм Партасарати единственный храм посвященный именно этому воплощению бога из 108 мест поклонения Вишну. Помимо святынь нескольких богов внутри храма находятся статуи двенадцати альвар. Храм украшен скульптурами на гопураме, резными колоннами и разукрашенными потолками. Надписи на каменных плитах внешней стены пересказывают легенду о Партасарати на тамильском и телугу. Перед храмом стоит Мемориальный дом Бхарати — место где провёл свои последние дни тамильский поэт и борец за независимость Субраманья Баради. Примечания
