Mahakumbh 2025!!!

Mahakumbh 2025!!!





 






We kept walking where the crowd was walking and then came across the first dwar. 









Bade Hanuman Ji Temple 


There was huge rush and it would take at least 3 - 4 hours to get the darshan of Hanuman ji. We decided to see it on the LED Screen kept outside as we had our luggage also and did not have the time and patience it needed to get the darshan. 

Digital Mahakumbh Experience Center 
This is a must watch place when in Mahakumbh. 



















We came to railway station a couple of hours earlier as the traffic was diverted and we did not know how much we need to walk since even the people of foot had to walk in a particular direction and take longer route to avoid over-crowding. 

The picture is of the rail yatra nivas built just outside the railway station. One can rest here as it was neat and clean and there were charging points as well. I had a cup of tea before boarding the Prayagraj express to Delhi. 






We came back home with happy memories after the holy dip.

Teen Dham (Yamnotri, Gangotri, and Kedarnath) 2024

Image
                                                         Yamunotri, Gangotri, and Kedarnath  We were a group of three friends and decided to do two dham yatra. But as we all know that when boys start the trip it is next to impossible that the trip will end up in the same direction. The same happened with us. Kedarnath, Tungnath, and Badrinath were planned initially but as we united in Haridwar a day before the start of our journey, the plan took a U-turn. I started my journey from Delhi and boarded the Dehradoon Shatabdi express from New Delhi Railway Station.  The historical pic when we decided to change our plan in the middle of the night :-) We decided to visit Gangotri first, followed by Kedarnath as Helicopter bookings were yet to be confirmed. The twist does not en...

The Golden city of Jaisalmer, Sand Dunes, the blue city Jodhpur, and much more

Jaisalmer - Thar Desert: Sam Sand Dunes and beyond  The much awaited trip after Rann of Kutchch was the Sam Sand Dunes. It came as a surprise as it was a last-minute plan and we could not get confirmed train tickets and flight prices were sky rocketing already. Since we had made up our mind, I decided to drive down all the way to Jaisalmer. Now the next challenge was that it was a long journey and could not be completed in a day. Hence, I decided to break it up and cover few more cities in Rajasthan.  The final route map looked like the one below:  Jaipur < Ajmer < Pushkar < Jodhpur < Jaisalmer < Sam Sand Dunes < Longewala border < Bikaner < Back to Home  Jaipur - Bhangarh Fort, Hawa Mahal and a Movie in Raj Mandir  Bhangarh Fort is 30 Kms before Jaipur and need to take a detor. It is closer to Alwar / Siriska.  Up next, we moved to Jaipur. Since we had already visited Jaipur last year, we wanted to see a movie in the cinema.  W...
