Vijaya Vilas Palace

Vijaya Vilas Palace is a summer palace of Maharao of Kutch located on the beach of Mandvi in Kutch, Gujarat, India. History The palace was built during the reign of Khengarji III as a summer resort for his son and heir to the kingdom, the Yuvraj Shri Vijayaraji, for whom it was named. Construction started in 1920 and was completed in 1929. Architecture The palace was constructed from red sandstone. Its distinctive Rajput architecture largely refers to the plan of palaces of Orchha and Datia. It features a central high dome supported by pillars, Bengal domes on the sides, windows with colored glass, carved stone jalis, domed bastions at the corners, an extended porch, and other stone-carved elements. The palace is set amid gardens with water channels and marble fountains. The jalis, jharokas, chhatris, chhajas, murals, stone carvings, and colored glass work on windows and door panels were created by architects and craftsmen from Jaipur, Rajasthan, Bengal, and Saurashtra, as well as the local Kutchi artisan community, the Mistri and Suthars. The top balcony offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. The windows create a feeling of openness, with sea breezes passing through. Current status Vijaya Vilas Palace has its own private beach. It offers overnight accommodation in a separate resort on the grounds. The royal family of Kutch State used to reside permanently in the palace after the 2001 Gujarat earthquake in which one of the wings of another palace at Bhuj - the Ranjit Vilas - was heavily damaged. Now, the Royals use the palace as a summer home. The second level is private and for their use. The Palace also houses a museum on the first level. The upper open terrace offers views of the area. In popular culture Scenes from the Bollywood movies Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Lagaan, and Commando, as well as a number of Gujarati films, were filmed in this palace. References

Walkeshwar Temple

Walkeshwar Temple, also known as the (Baan Ganga Temple), is an Ancient Hindu temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva located in Walkeshwar, near Malabar Hill neighbourhood, in South Mumbai precinct of the city of Mumbai, India. It is situated at the highest point of the city, and close to the temple lies the Banganga Tank. Legend Legend has it that the Hindu god, Rama paused at that spot on his way from Ayodhya to Lanka in pursuit of the demon king, Ravana who had kidnapped his wife, Sita. Then Lord Rama was advised to worship Shiva lingam and he is said to have constructed the original linga of sand, after getting tired of waiting for his brother, Lakshman to bring an idol. The name is etymologically derived from the Sanskrit word for an idol made of sand -- Valuka Iswar, an Avatar of Shiva. As the story progresses, when Rama was thirsty, as there was no fresh water readily available (only sea water), he shot an arrow and brought Ganges over here. Hence Bana (arrow in Sanskrit) and Ganges in combination called Banganga. The water that feeds the tank stems from an underground spring at that spot, despite its proximity to the sea. History The temple and the attached fresh water Banganga Tank were built in 1127 AD by Lakshman Prabhu, a Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu minister in the court of Silhara dynasty Kings who ruled Thane, and the islands of Mumbai during 810 to 1240 AD. The temple was destroyed by the Portuguese during their reign over Mumbai in the 16th century. It was rebuilt due to the generosity of Mumbai businessman and philanthropist, Rama Kamat, a Gaud Saraswat Brahmin (known in British records as 'Kamati') in 1715. The main temple has been substantially reconstructed and many smaller temples have come up around the Banganga Tank. By 1860, the temple started attracting greater crowds and 10 to 20 other temples had come up around it and 50 dharamshalas. Worship The temple is generally busy every month only during the full moon, and at Amavasya (new moon). In the past, it was a favorite of the Malabar pirates who used to frequent the islands during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is currently the site of an annual Hindustani classical music festival, which in 2005 featured musicians like classical singers Rajan and Sajan Mishra, and Santoor maestro Shivkumar Sharma. Branches of Shri Kavle Math and Shri Kashi Math, famous religious seats of Gaud Saraswat Brahmins, are located on the northern and western banks of the tank, respectively.
