Alwar has it all: Jungles, palaces, ‘Fairy Queen’ & Akbar, Aurangzeb swords too!

February 2, 2021, 7:45 PM

Alwar, one of the oldest Rajasthani kingdoms, has its roots going back to 1500 B.C. A city soaking in history, gives a sense of quietude as you stroll through the ancient palace soaking in the charms of its colourful bazaars. The museum here houses the swords of Mughal emperors Akbar and Aurangzeb too.

Alwar also makes the final destination for the Fairy Queen- a retro locomotive said to be the oldest in the world and constructed in 1855! The journey begins in New Delhi and comes to a halt in the City of Rajputs.

Here’s the only list you need for places to visit in Alwar, its secrets tucked away from the maddening crowd.

Bala Qila Alwar

Towering 300m above the city, Bala Qila’s is a massive bastion which predates the rise of the Mughals and its impressive ramparts run for a good 5kms. Mughal emperors, Akbar and Babur spent time here. While Emperor Jahangir spent his three years of exile at Salim Mahal situated within the walls of this fort. While the name ‘Bala’ means young, the fort is ancient, being constructed in the 1500s.

How to reach here:

You can either hire a rickshaw for a longer 7km ride or you could make the steep climb yourself and save time.

Bala Qila was constructed on the foundations of a 10th century battlement and the structure is steeped in history.

EBNW Story

February 2, 2021, 7:48 AM

Nahargarh Fort situated on the Aravalli hills offers you an experiential retreat as you drive off city life to reach to this architectural wonder.

Overlooking a beautiful lake, Nahargarh Fort offers a visual treat by capturing the entire city from a hill top. In fact, the sunset from the fort terrace is a sight which you should never miss for anything else when here.

A food court and a restaurant at the top of the fort further offers an excellent view. In fact, this is one fort which offers adventure, thrill, excitement, horror stories and much more to the avid traveller:

History of Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh in literal form means ‘abode of tigers’.

As per the legends, this fort was named as Nahargarh after the spirt of a Rathore, Nahar Singh started haunting the site during the construction of the fort . Strange phenomenons were occurring in those times as the daily construction work was destroyed in the night by some unseen forces.

Local people confirm that the fort was first named Sudarshangarh, however, it was later named as Nahargarh after the spirit of Nahar Singh Bhomia, a prince, who was haunting the place and destroyed the construction. As believed, a temple was constructed in the fort premises to appease the spirit.

Significance of Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh Fort is home to Jaipur’s first wax museum called as Sheesh Mahal (the palace of mirrors). The sheesh mahal, designed to honor the Mughal and Rajput architecture, showcases a massive 25 million glass pieces, carved with intricate designs and gold polishing.

The wax museum encompasses many well-known personalities including the likes of Amitabh Bachchan. The museum also has detailed backdrops and well-designed sets along with the life like replica of many national heroes.

Sheesh Mahal in other parts of Rajasthan does not have a glass floor and hence this makes it a unique place to visit.

Further Nahargarh fort along with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort formed the defence to the then capital when Amer stood tall as the capital of the Rajput. The city was bustling with activity and markets in the 1600s.

How to Reach Nahargarh Fort

Located 6 KM outside the city of Jaipur, the drive to the fort from the city centre is more than just picturesque. With nature’s bounty spread around and peacocks dancing by the roadside, an uphill drive through the forest will leave you in awe of its beauty

Meanwhile, the best way to reach the destination is to hire a cab. Even autos can take you to the fort entrance. There are shuttles also available from the foot of the hill.

Nahargarh Fort Entry and Timings

Nahargarh fort remains open from 10 00 AM in the morning to 5 30 PM in the evening. The entry fee for overseas tourists is INR 200 and students are INR 25.

The wax museum and Sheesh Mahal are situated near the entrance of fort. The entrance fee for each is INR 350.

Best Time to Visit the Nahargarh Fort

Best time to visit the Nahargarh Fort is during winter as the weather remains pleasant through out the day. The fort forms a perfect location to spend an entire day. You can couple it with the two forts nearby, Amer and Jaigharh.

It is advisable to first visit Nahargarh fort. You can spend the morning there and have lunch there. There after you can move to Jaigarh which is only a KM from Nahargarh.

Most Significant Aspect of Nahargarh Fort

The abode of tigers has an amazing view. Earlier it was a lonely place with magnificent structures and a few places to eat. But now the fort is bustling with noise due to the recent opening of the glass palace and wax museum.

EBNW Story

January 30, 2021, 5:53 PM

As Rajasthan police on Thursday caught the most wanted gangster Papla Gurjar who had created a havoc in states namely Rajasthan and Haryana, we take a sneak peak into the top 5 gangsters of India which created a reign of terror across India:

Dawood Ibrahim: Dawood was born in Mumbai in the year 1955 to a police constable in Mumbai’s Dongri. After forming a clan of relatives and friends from his locale, he started getting engaged in smuggling, robbery, fraud and other petty crimes during his teens. At this time, he locked horns with the infamous Haji Mastan. By the late 1970’s, he was into extortion, money laundering, gold smuggling, illegal arms trade and drug trafficking and floated the dreaded D-Company, a mega crime syndicate.

He was named by the CBI as among the main perpetrators of the 1993 serial blasts, after which he, reportedly, fled to Pakistan.

Chotta Rajan: He was born in Mumbai as Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje and then he started his criminal career as a ticket scalper and thief. Later he joined mobster, Rajan Mahadev Nair’s (Bada Rajan) gang.

Chotta Rajan took over Nair’s gang after the death of his mentor in 1983, and made up a strong partnership with Dawood Ibrahim, as the two terrorised Mumbai.

In 1993, Chotta Rajan separated from Ibrahim, and formed his own gang, which was more into widescale drug trafficking, extortion, murder and smuggling.

Many people believe that Ibrahim attempted to assassinate Chotta Rajan many times, but ultimately, the Indonesian law enforcement authorities, in collaboration with the Australian police, nabbed him in Bali. Rajan is serving a lifer at Tihar Jail in Delhi.

Haji Mastan: Also referred to as Mumbai’s ‘Robin Hood’ for the charity work he undertook at Dharavi, Haji Mastan was born in 1926 to a Muslim family in Panaikulam, Tamil Nadu, Mastan. He reportedly, migrated to Bombay at the age of eight, and here he developed an underworld empire and ruled the roost for two decades between 1960 and 1980, with two aides Karim Lala and Varadarajan Mulaidar. He along with his gang was engaged in largescale black marketing of cinema tickets, bootlegging, and extortion.

He died at the age of 68 in 1994 of cardiac arrest at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital.

Karim Lala: He was born as Abdul Sher Khan, in Afghanistan in 1911, however, later his family shifted to Bombay. Here, along with two gangsters, Haji Mastan and Varadarajan Mulaidar, he began his criminal career as part of a Pathan gang that worked as recovery brokers helping Gujarati and Marwari businessmen and money lenders. His criminal activities included illegal gambling, illegal sale of liquor, forced eviction, extortion and contract killings.

Lala handed over his empire to his nephew Samad Khan and went into retirement before eventually dying of a heart attack in February, 2002, at 90.

Veerappan: Veerappan, born in Mysore in 1952, was a smuggler, poacher and bandit who was wanted for the murders of over a 120 people as well as for the deaths of more than 2,000 elephants dwelling in the forests of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, and the smuggling and illicit sale of tons of sandalwood and ivory.

He is also known for kidnapping government officers, politicians, and even celebrities for ransom,
He was killed in 2004 in an encounter at Tamil Nadu’s Dharmapuri district under Operation Cocoon.

Top 5 places to visit in Bharatpur whose origin is traced to Ramayana era!

EBNW Story

January 28, 2021, 3:25 PM

Bharatpur in Rajasthan is home to one of the world’s best-known bird watching destinations, Keoladeo Ghana National Park (KNP).

Do you know that the origin of the name Bharatpur is traced to Bharat, younger brother of Lord Ram. Laxman, the other brother, has also been given the most prestigious position in this once royal kingdom as that of the family deity of the ruling family of Bharatpur. His name also appears in the state seals and coat-of-arms.
The history of Bharatpur in fact dates back to 5th century BC, when the Matsya kingdom flourished here. The Matsyas were allies of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata war.

In the early 18th century, Maharaja Suraj Mal captured the fort of Bharatpur by vanquishing Khemkaran, the rival chieftain and laid the foundation for Bharatpur. Today, the city is proud to be known as home to one of the world’s best-known bird watching destinations, Keoladeo Ghana National Park (KNP). Let’s study about the five top places to be visited in this city:

Bharatpur Palace and Museum

Top 5 places to visit in Bharatpur whose origin is traced to Ramayana era!

Wanna see antiques, sculptures, local art and craft wares? Visit the Bharatpur Palace. Located within its premises is Kamra Khas, a museum containing a vast number of antiques, over 581 stone sculptures, 861 local art and craft wares and ancient scriptures that depict the art and culture typical of Bharatpur. The palace is a fine fusion of Mughal and Rajput architecture.

Ganga Mandir: Situated in the heart of the city, it is one amongst the most beautiful temples of Rajasthan which has magnificent deity of Ganga Maharaj made of pristine white marble. Maharaja Balwant Singh started constructing this temple in the mid-19th century.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park: This makes the world’s most fascinating and spectacular bird reserves as it is considered as one of the richest bird areas in the world today. Every year, thousands of migratory waterfowl birds such as green sandpiper and cranes visit the park during winter. You will be surprised to know that this park was created in mid 18th century as a small reservoir located 5 kilometres to the southeast of Bharatpur. The construction of the Ajan Bund (dam) and the subsequent flooding of this natural depression led to one of the world’s most fascinating and spectacular bird reserves.

Laxman Mandir: Dedicated to Laxman, brother of Lord Rama, this temple is famous for its typical Rajasthani style of architecture and beautiful pink stonework.

Lohagarh Fort: Lohagarh Fort stands by its names as it has withstood many attacks by the British, however was ultimately captured by Arthur Wellesley. The fort is surrounded by a moat which used to be filled with water to keep enemies out. Interesting monuments inside the fort are Kothi Khas, Mahal Khas, Moti Mahal and Kishori Mahal. Raja Suraj Mal built Jawahar Bhurj and Fateh Bhurj to commemorate victories over the Mughals and the British.

Monkey Temple in Jaipur Rajasthan

Ravindar Nagar

January 27, 2021, 3:55 PM

Galtaji, also called as monkey temple, is situated in Jaipur and is lured by all kinds of tourists be it religious tourists, spiritual travellers, history buffs, travel enthusiasts, as well as people who love to observe pristine places and surroundings blessed by nature’s fauna and flora!

Why it is called as Monkey Temple

Galtaji is called the Monkey Temple because of the vast majority of macaque monkeys found here. Even Net Geo shot a documentary series in 2008 about the monkeys in the Galtaji named “Monkey thieves”. Soon after the series, the Galta ji temple became famous as the Monkey Temple of Jaipur.

History of Galtaji temple

Galtaji is a pre-historic Hindu pilgrimage site built by Diwan Rao kriparam during the eighteenth century. Kriparam was the courtier of Sawai Jai Singh 2nd of Jaipur.

Legends say that saint Galav Rishi spent his life in search of truth and did ‘Tapasya’ here in Galtaji for many years. The God, pleased with his penance, appeared before him and blessed his place of worship with abundant water.

This exists today as Galta Kund which is a holy water tank and the water here never dries. Taking bath in this holy galta kund is considered as sacred.
A temple was built here to honour the saint Galav Rishi and it was named as Galtaji.

The temple also finds mentioning in Ram Charit Manas.

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s date with birds makes him India’s 1st CM heralding unique conservation – Harsh Vardhan

EBNW Story

January 27, 2021, 11:33 AM

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar sports birds too! Ever heard of an Indian Chief Minister sporting birds, that too migratory species?

Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has attained a unique feat: observing how bird banding is done, holding Blyth’s Reed Warbler in his hand and finally releasing it in the air (see photo here). It took place on 16 January 2021 at the State’s 1^st Bird Fair held at Nagi Lake in Jamuai district.

An overflowing crowd of rural and urban character surrounded this feat to an extent that many press photographers could not satisfy their cameras’ hunger.

CM Nitish Kumar in Bihar First Birds Festival

A brimful Nitish appeared inquisitive. He had bag full of details received when he spent good time at the stall of Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), a 135-year-old organization specializing in avian studies. Nita Shah explained to him about migration pattern and the species banded by her team so far.

The banding is to decipher where birds finally reach. She pinned a BNHS badge over his chest. To this, the soft spoken Nitish extended his heartful thanks with folded hands. Prabhat Kumar Gupta as Chief Wildlife Warden, S. Sudhakar, as DFO, Bhagalpur, Satyajeet Kumar as DFO, Jamui, and Bharat Chintapalli as DFO for the Fair, were on their toes to let the event flow like the Ganges.

Dt. S. Balachandran, who has banded more than 2-lakh birds in India, Dr. Vibhu Prakash, Head of India’s Vulture Breeding Project at Pinjore, Haryana, and others from BNHS besides Bihar’s Chief Wildlife Warden, Prabhat Kumar Gupta, were around Nitish to let him search more on birds, as can be observed in a group photo published here.

Nita Shah manages such banding sites all over India as BNHS scientist.

Nitish flew in a helicopter at the Bird Fair and spent hours, observing conservation gaining ground. He addressed a gathering of rural folk artists amidst bird experts from all over the country, to thank the organisers for this event and hoped it would add a new prestige to Bihar.

Blyth’s Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum), the bird he released, breeds in Eastern Europe and is a winter visitor to India. It hops from trees to bushes and calls a high-pitched and loud “tek…tek…tek.”

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s date with birds makes him India’s 1st CM heralding unique conservation - Harsh Vardhan — *Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar with forest officials and BNHS scientists, the lady on his right is Nita Shah, BNHS Dy. Director for bird migration project and avian studies.*

The BNHS is running a ringing camp at Bhagalpur also to trap birds and release them. Strange paradox is that India has all eggs kept in the BNHS basket for bird banding. It lacks financial and other support to carry it out throughout the country. What other states are doing? The officials are unconcerned about it.

In US, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, China and even in a tiny country like Mongolia, school students and private individuals are encouraged to do bird banding, using metal rings to apply them over feet of birds. This writer happened to be a guest of Bihar to attend this Fair and appreciates the organizers for having done a much needed event.

We happen to be the first in organizing Bird Fairs in India. The 24^th Indian Birding Fair is due in February at Man Sagar lake in Jaipur, being devoted to Butterfly Conservation. Welcome to join hands …(www.birdfair.org).
