Sina Hotel

The Sina Hotel, popularly referred to as the Ghost Hotel, is an abandoned hotel complex situated in Agonda, in the Indian coastal state of Goa. Originally envisioned and initiated by a group of Russians, the construction of the hotel encountered numerous legal challenges, preventing its successful completion. As a result, the hotel gradually deteriorated over time, remaining in a state of abandonment. The hotel, originally intended to be a five-star establishment within its area, encountered a setback during its construction phase in the early 1990s. The project came to an abrupt halt due to financial constraints experienced by the owners, resulting in an incomplete structure. The hotel's development was further marred by an incident involving the murder of one of its owners. Description The Sina Hotel is situated at the southernmost stretch of Agonda Beach in South Goa, India. Accessible via either a forest path or the main road, the hotel is surrounded by a lush canopy of trees. Sunil M1 of Vijaya Karnataka, observed that the hotel's serene ambiance evokes a sense of tranquility and satisfaction. Consequently, the hotel has come to be informally known as the "Devil's Hotel." Ghostlore Incredible Goa reports that there are multiple accounts regarding the state of the hotel in question, each offering different explanations for its current condition. However, one prevalent narrative links the hotel's state to alleged paranormal phenomena, specifically the death of one of its owners. According to this story, the owner was purportedly murdered, leading to the halt in construction. Local villagers assert that the spirit of the deceased individual continues to wander within the premises of the property. Its Goa magazine documented that subsequent to the death of one of its proprietors, local residents began noticing unusual phenomena occurring within the rooms of the hotel complex. As a result, the establishment gained notoriety for unsettling tourists with its eerie occurrences in various rooms. According to a report by Sunil M1 in Vijaya Karnataka, there is a prevailing belief among the local community that the deceased owner of the hotel complex is manifesting in a physical form and wandering within its premises. This belief has led to a significant decline in visitors to the hotel, resulting in a peculiar situation where trees have been able to grow inside its structure. According to reports documented by Knocksense, visitors to Agonda beach have occasionally reported hearing unusual sounds originating from the hotel. Furthermore, there have been complaints regarding the presence of an unidentified entity believed to be traversing the abandoned halls.

Veraval Junction railway station

Veraval Junction railway station (station code: VRL) is a railway station in the city of Veraval, Gujarat. It is under Bhavnagar railway division of Western Railway Zone of Indian Railways. It is one of the major railway stations in Saurashtra. Veraval Junction is "A" category station of Bhavnagar railway division of Western Railway zone. It is located at 7 m above sea level and has five platforms. As of 2024, a single electric broad-gauge railway line and a single diesel meter-gauge line exists. Fourteen trains terminate & originate, at this station. Diu Airport is 73 km away. History In the late 1800s, Gujarat’s princely states—Junagadh, Gondal, Bhavnagar, Morvi, etc.—built metre‑gauge networks to connect towns economically. These were small‑scale, cost‑effective lines built to meet modest traffic. Finally, Junagadh State Railway (also Junagadh & Veraval Railway) inaugurated the Junagadh–Veraval metre‑gauge link in 1888–89. Around the same time, the Rajkot–Jetalsar Railway was launching its Rajkot–Jetalsar stretch (also metre gauge), which linked with the Junagadh–Veraval section, fully connecting Rajkot to Veraval by 1890. Collectively, this interlocking network, built by princely railways, integrated into the Rajkot–Junagadh–Veraval trunk line, establishing Veraval as a vital junction for town's pilgrim-bound passengers and freight heading to the coast and beyond. In April 1948, these princely metre‑gauge lines merged into Saurashtra Railway, and by November 1951, were absorbed into Western Railway. Decades later, recognizing the need for standardized, higher‑capacity tracks, the Rajkot–Veraval metre gauge was converted between 1996–2003, culminating in full broad-gauge connectivity by 2003.

Dwarkadhish-Tempel

Der Dwarkadhish-Tempel (Hindi द्वारिकाधीश मंदिर = „König von Dwarka“) ist ein Hindutempel in der Stadt Dwarka im indischen Bundesstaat Gujarat. Er ist dem Gott Krishna geweiht und ist sowohl in religiöser als auch in architektonischer Hinsicht einer der bedeutendsten Tempel des Subkontinents. Er gehört zu den vier Tempeln des Char Dham und ist nur für Hindus zugänglich. Lage Der Dwarkadhish-Tempel liegt nur etwa 200 m von Mündung des Flusses Gomti in die Arabische See entfernt an der Westspitze der Halbinsel Kathiawar/Saurashtra im Bundesstaat Gujarat. Geschichte Die Geschichte des Tempels lässt sich angeblich bis auf das 5. oder 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. zurückverfolgen; er wurde jedoch immer wieder verändert und vergrößert. Im Jahr 1162 stiftete der Mewar-Herrscher Rana Bhimsinhaji ein Gelände am Ufer des Gomti-Flusses; der Bau eines neuen Tempels begann wahrscheinlich kurz danach, doch wurde dieser im Jahr 1241 von den vordringenden islamischen Invasoren zerstört. Zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde das Kultbild des Tempels in Sicherheit gebracht. Um die Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts begann man mit dem Tempelneubau, der jedoch im 18., 19. und 20. Jahrhundert weitere Umbauten erlebte, über deren Umfang nicht Genaues bekannt ist. Architektur Grundsätzlich folgt der Aufbau des Dwarkadhish-Tempels dem der klassischen nordindischen Tempel – über eine Vorhalle (mandapa) erreichen die Gläubigen die von einem konischen 78 m hohen Turmaufbau (shikhara) überhöhte lichtlose Cella (garbhagriha), in der von Brahmanen-Priestern die eigentlichen Opferzeremonien und Kulthandlungen durchgeführt werden. Das Besondere am Dwarkadhish-Tempel ist seine überaus imposante viergeschossige Vorhalle, in der die Gläubigen sich vor oder nach den Zeremonien versammeln können.

Храм Дваракадиши

Храм Дваракади́ши (англ. Dwarakadheesh temple) — индуистский храм вайшнавский Кришны в Дварке в индийском штате Гуджарат. Кришне в храме поклоняются в форме божества Дваракадиша (букв. «правителя Двараки»). Храм находится под управлением традиции пуштимарга, основанной в XVI веке вайшнавским ачарьей Валлабхой. Согласно легенде, город Дварка, в котором расположен храм, был построен после того, как столица царства Кришны Дварака (описываемая в «Махабхарате» и Пуранах) более 5000 лет назад погрузилась на дно океана после Битвы на Курукшетре. Основное святилище храма, джагат-мандир или ниджа-мандир, представляет собой пятиэтажную структуру, поддерживаемую колоннами. В храме можно обнаружить архитектурные элементы периодов различных династий, когда-то правивших регионом: Гуптов, Паллавов, Чавда. Здание храма, существующее в настоящее время, имеет высоту в 78 метров и было построено в XVI веке. Согласно легенде, изначальный храм на этом месте был воздвигнут внуком Кришны Ваджранабхой на месте, где ранее находился основной дворец Кришны. Говорится, что строительство храма было поручено зодчему полубогов Вишвакарме и заняло один день. Основной вход в храм, называемый мокшадвара («ворота спасения»), располагается на северной стороне. От южного входа, сваргадвара («ворота на небеса»), 56 каменных ступенек ведёт на берег реки Гомти. Божество Кришны Дваракадиша изваяно из чёрного камня и имеет 70 см в высоту. В этой своей четырёхрукой форме Кришна держит в руках такие атрибуты, как раковину, колесо, металлическое оружие и цветок лотоса. Согласно легенде, это божество в течение нескольких веков до XVI века было спрятано от мусульманских завоевателей и на его месте поклонялись другому божеству Кришны из храма Рукмини, который находится неподалёку от Двараки. Со времён Шанкары (VIII век) храм Дваракадиша стал одним из четырёх мест паломничества Чар-дхама. В храме существует мемориал в честь первого визита Шанкары.
