10 Best Places To Celebrate Holi In India

Holi also known as the festival of colors is a spring festival celebrated on Falgun Purnima which occurs around the month of March. It is the second most widely celebrated festival of India after Diwali. Originally a festival to celebrate good harvests and fertility of the land, Holi is now a symbolic commemoration of a legend from Hindu Mythology. It is said that Krishna being jealous of Radha’s fair complexion threw colours on her to even the score. This exuberant festival is associated with the immortal love of Krishna and Radha. This festival also celebrates the victory of good over evil. According to one belief, the festival celebrates the killing of Holika, the sister of Hrinyakashyapu.

When Three Days Were Not Enough For Us - Jaisalmer(Final Part)

In the first and second part of my blog, I have shared my experience of Day 1 and 2 in which we explored Amar Sagar Jain temple,  Kuldhara, Sam sand dunes, War Museum, Gadisar Lake, Patwaon Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ji ki Haveli. The final day of our journey was also dedicated to the exploration of the city. Due to time constraint, we were unable to see sites of Laungewala(border of India and Pakistan) and Tanot Mata temple. We had Jaisalmer Fort and Salim Singh ki Haveli kept for our last outing for the awesome journey. And as goes without saying shopping was in our itinerary for the last end of our journey.

When Three Days Were Not Enough For Us - Jaisalmer (Part 2)

In the first part of my blog, I have shared my experience of Day 1 in which we explored Amar Sagar Jain temple,  Kuldhara and Sam sand dunes. As we reached Jaisalmer that day itself and enjoyed these places to the fullest, we were terribly tired. Next day we had to get ready by 9 in the morning to explore other sites of  the cities.

Jaisalmer, a planned trip in the final semester of MA, with best friends will always be a memorable trip. The crazy time spent with five friends will be cherished in the Campus. Hats off to me who decided to drive day and night to these beautiful places and not to forget the complete guidance of another friend through Google Maps.

Kuldhara : The Abandoned And Cursed Village Of Jaisalmer

Kuldhara is an abandoned village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. Established around 13th century, it was once a prosperous village inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins. It was abandoned by the early 19th century for unknown reasons, possibly because of dwindling water supply, or as a local legend claims, because of persecution by the Jaisalmer State's minister Salim Singh.

It is located adjacent to the Amar Sagar Lake and south of Lodurva, just 7 Km from Jaisalmer city . This jain Temple is dedicated to Lord Parshwanath, called Adeshwar Nath Jain temple. It was was built by Patwa Bafna Himmat Ram in 1928.
