The  ancient  Pushkarni Lake , Nalanda needs more to be cared

photo : collage Vidisha

       Biharsharif /Nalanda CR : There is worth a lot to watch around  the famous world heritage site Nalanda i.e. Nalanda Mahavihar, Nalanda Remains,Black Pagoda, Nalanda  Museum ,Surya Mandir, Bargaro Talo , Huein Tsang Memorial Hall and Kundalpur etc. But whenever I visited the Huien Tsang Memrial Hall or stepped into the Kundalpur temple premises to see the birth place of Lord Mahavira ,but a very beautiful location lying nearby the dry,wide but beautiful Pushkarni Lake always drew my attention.

        I remain worried about seeing the condition of the Pushkarni Lake. I often think that if there had been a little maintenance and care of the lake to be taken  in some sense there  would have been a great attraction for the tourists  similar to those famous lakes of India like  Naini lake of Nainital, the Nikkei Lake  of Rajasthan, Mussoorie lake of Mussoorie , and Kodaicanal  Lake of Tamilnaidu.

       Once upon a time I remember those days when boating was arranged here and the government initiative and maintenance was taken properly.  Then lots of tourists used to come here and enjoyed boating.  It is that if we agree with the folklores and stories ,the lake was persisting since the time of Lord Buddha when he frequently visited Nalanda .

       Lake's view is very panoramic.  On the eastern side of the lake here is a worth seeing place ,Huein Tsang Memorial Hall , that was built on the memory of a very famous Chinese traveler,  who visited Nalanda in 7^th centuary. The next one attraction  is the  Craft Vllage  is adjacent to the memorial hall located too on the eastern edge of the lake while on the western side according to the accepted theory of Digambar Jain sect  birthplace of Lord Mahaveer Kundalpur is situated . The Digambar sect believes that the 24^th and the last Tirthnkar ,Lord Mahaveer was born here.

        Because the background is Kundalpur where the large groups of Jainis used to visit from the remote provinces of India throughout the year, the location of the lake has been always in prime attraction of the tourists and visitors.  You will feel very good if you see the expanse of the lake and the view around it. Panoramic views make the eyes relaxed. 

        Let us tell you another thing that migratory birds that come from remote areas in winter season and stay nearby the lake for a few months, it recalls us the beauty of only being the very famous bird’s sanctuary in Nalanda .

        There is a fantasy that if a circulating path around the lake is made, the eco- friendly natural environment is fully protected, lamppost and lights are installed, wooden chairs  are made around the lake ,water sources are well managed, the boating facility remains available again around this lake, I believe that the Pushkarni Lake area  will be developed soon  as the best  prime location of site tourism in Nalanda .It will enhance the attraction of world heritage site Nalanda more enough  for the whole year will make the tourists visit this site more and more.

          The more tourists will be able to visit the lake bound area frequently for their joy and amusement  the state revenue  will be increased automatically .  There would  be a lot of possibilities of the  employments for the localities in the term of tourism, if only the government needs to take more care in the beautification of the lake area.  By managing and seeking the  other water sources to increase the level of the lake and making a light fed circular path around it government could generate more revenue with the more visits of the tourists . It will be emerged soon as an important center of tourist destination for the movers and seekers  throughout the year not only in the winter season.

        It will be seen that tourists will be rushing towards the Pushkarni  Lake  for  their fabulous unforgettable  boating experience and more activities will  go further throughout the year.  If and if the government takes a little initiative, care for the beautification of lake.Soon the time will come more chirping birds will be there on the floating water level of the lake will again become a center of attraction for the  tourists,visitors, photographers and film makers  too.

My New Travel Destination Plan on the Coming New Year : If I were a traveler I would like to visit Rajgir hills that  nestled the unseen, misty. ecofriendly lake, Ghoda Katora in Nalanda District with my friends and beloved ones. In the coming new year sensational 2021 my new destination of seeking happiness with my loved ones will be certainly the most beautiful lake Ghoda Katora. And by this travelogue I plan to go there so be with me. And enjoy the best location and a new travel destination for the upcoming year 2021 in the blissful Bihar at Rajgir. Look, here I start my journey with you.

               

a beautiful lake Ghoda Katora amidst the Rajgir hills  photo :  Dr. Sunita Sinha.

How to reach Rajgir - First I start my journey from New Delhi railway Station by afternoon.I search a train and have a New Delhi - Rajgir bound train  the Shramjeevi Express that ends to Rajgir. I reach the Capital city Patna by 7am. From Patna to Rajgir my journey ends by 12 o noon.I remember in route I pass through the major cities like Muradabad, Bareliy, Lucknow, Varanasi, Patna, Biharsharif then Rajgir. 

The ancient city Rajgrih  is well connected by road and rail head through Gaya Patna and Bakhtiyarpu Station, a major railway junction in Howarah - Patna - Delhi route. If you are very fond of driving the car It is an under comfortable easy drive from the major cities of India like New Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi, Patna, Gaya, Dhanbad, Ranchi, Sikkim, Darjalleng, Asansole and Kolkata,.

The nearby airports are available in Gaya and Patna too. Recently due to the sincere and regular effort of  Bihar Government the eco friendly lake, the Ghoda Katora has been the prime location of all tourists from different parts of the world. How to reach Ghoda Katora : 

Yet the unmetalled road from Rajgir Roapway is at progress remaining eight kilometers away from the location connecting the tourists from Rajgir. Surrounded by small hills, this lake looks very beautiful and is an ideal place to roam.We can reach here by horse carriage or own bicycle. We can also enjoy boating here in the lake with floating ducks and other tourists in different available colorful paddle boats . It would be nice if we come here in the morning because after two o'clock in the afternoon, the entry is closed. It is a very comfortable place and we can hear the sound of air and water here.

The tourism officials said that the site would be completely free from pollution. Polythene, plastic bags would not be in use. No motorized vehicles would be permitted inside the area visitors would have to ride either a bicycle or a tonga. The state tourism would offer a tonga ride package and a bicycle ride package at the cost of 100 Rs per person that includes boating in the lake besides the riding.

The setting of  the sun behind the clouds and the slopes of the hills, rushing of the  misty smoke downwardly as insisting on to engross the entire lake silently, after awhile all is lost in the mystery of the unseen world reminding us of the philosophy of our life, a flock of ducks, nature loving wanderers, solitude seeking souls and all who desire to steal the joyous moments from their busy schedule, entire recalling us of an undiscovered heaven lying on the earth that is around Ghoda Katora indeed, adjacent to Rajgir in Nalanda district.

Glory of  Past : The land of Magadh has been a prime witness of continuing glorious history of itself since very ancient times. The mightiest Mahajanpada had lots of archaeological facts earthed inside, claims the history of ages. Below the hills of Giriyak, nearby the five hills of Rajgir is situated a very important historic site Ghoda Katora.

According to the observations of Archaeological Survey of India it seems that the site had been a joint venue of various ancient civilizations and cultures. Many unearthed parcels of those periods might have been hidden since the Gupta period.
Present : This is a perfect place blessed by the nature too.It is the first ecotourism site in the state with the opening of a two way 15 km green stretch inside the jungles at the foothills of Ratnagiri,105 km from Patna coming in to reality. 

Horse Bowl : Ghoda Katora  (horse bowl) is a small but beautiful picnic spot near Viswa Shanti Stupa,the peace pagoda  amid the green valley of Rajgir,an ancient capital city of mighty king Jarasandh, Bimbisar and Ajatshtru. According to Hindu mythology here, there were the stables of King Jarasand (from the Indian epic Mahabharata), hence the name of this place was a horse bowl.

Beauty around it : Ghoda Katora nestled in a quiet atmosphere offers blissful seclusion, famous not only for the historic facts, but also supposingly claims to be a unique bird sanctuary in cence the flying of rare birds from the different parts of the world all around it.
Ghoda Katora , the most natural beautiful place enclosed by the green hills, still remaining very far away fromoming days due to its surroundings. It would be a visual delight for bird watchers who could experithe maddening crowd and the tourists. The site dots itself as a great attraction point for the tourists with lush green meadows, valleys, hills and even a lake. Adding more fun around the Ghoda Katora in future there would be more adventure sports like paragliding, rock climbing and trekking. For the spirituality and fitness freaks there might be some yoga points likely to be developed as meditation centers at Dhaulagiri ranges, in 

a Swiss hut nearby the lake.

Dharamshala, Himachal. There has been a plan for making Swiss cottages along the side of lake where one desirous can spend a thrilled night in nature backdrop.
The stretching world of greenery with stones completing silence everywhere soothes us. With the coming of winter the migrant birds, their chirpings echo the valley with the essence and truth of life. Life exists in peace and peace should exist in life necessarily.
The calm lake, at the foothills defines the absolute beauty of nature. Hills seem to be sleeping inversely inside the lake till the cool and gentle breeze strikes its surface. 

Similarties with other lakes. The weathering rocks and rolling stones alone have been experiencing an ode to solitude. The extension of the lake reminds us of the famous lakes as Ooti, Kodaikanal, Mirik, Nani, Dal and  Nakki.
Summer passes usually as the winter comes that marks the coming of birds from the different locations. The migrant birds covering miles and miles arrive here in search of peace, abode and fodder. Their action claims the continuation of the life.

In the lap of the hills the lake remains completely natural and untouched inviting the viewers and tourists to view the untouched beauty.

Surely the discovered land will mark its appearance all over the world, but it needs some basic infrastructure as a good network of road and communication, mode of conveyance and above all safety and security for the visitors. It claims to be an eco-friendly site established for its naturality and congenial environment. Soon the place indeed will be the centre for poets, writers, filmmakers, philosophers and nature loving people.
Noticeably efforts at office level are highly commendable bound to provide all basic amenities to the visitors without disturbing its uniqueness and naturality. Soon we will enjoy the divine, natural beauty of this place with the statue of Lord Budddha. Just after the few days Ghoda Katora welcomes the all after the inaugural function of Government. People may enjoy boating at the stretch of the lake in the colorful boats made available by the tourism department at the cost of 40 rupees per person. Tourists may rest for a while in eco-friendly huts made of bamboos and wood nearby the lakes.
When to come -  Although the climate and weather favour the outsiders throughout the year but preferably coming between November to March gives the wide ranges to discover the diversities of Rajgir anew.

With a say the way will soon echo the sweetened voice of cyclist and the steps of the trekkers. So the hills of the Rajgir, a 70 feet statue of cool and calm Buddha in the lake call you to realise the real beauty of Rajgir.

A seat of Jainism. Pawapuri, a worth seeing place in Nalanda.

Pawapuri / CR. 

         The festival of lights, Deepawali is not celebrated only by the Hindus but by Jains, and Sikhs.In Jainism ,Diwali is celebrated to commemorate the attainment of Moksha by Mahaveera. The Jain begins with Pratipada a day after Diwali. 

         With the upcoming of Diwali festivals followers of Jainism from the different parts of country used to come to Pawapuri and prepare for the Nirvanotsav. It has been a unique tradition for the Jainis in the temple who used to offer the highest bid for Nirvan Laddu availing the chance for worshipping the Lord Mahaveer.

        But this year as the sources said there would not  be any gatherings in the 2546th Nirvan Mahotsav. With taking  all precautions from Corona virus this diwali  Pawapuri is not being over crowded with the devotees coming from  different parts of the countries. Usually this time Pawapuri should have been the prime attraction of Jain tourists and devotees. As the sources said this year celebration will celebrated with simplicity and without gatherings.

        A light coming out from the Nirvan Sthal of Mahaveera will disperse the darkness and ignorance of  of our insides and world and convey the messages of non violence, love and truthfulness around the world. 

        On 13th of November the 2546th Nirvan Mahotsav was inaugurated by Shrawan Kumar, Ex Minister,Bihar Government with all simplicity in presence of others concerned.

        Pawapuri literally it meant where our sin is destroyed is Pawapuri a famous place of pilgrimage for the Jainees for it was here that lord Mahavira, the great Jaina 24th and to last Tirthankara, attains Parinirvana in 490 B.C. It was around the Hindu festival Deepawali so  all the Jaini followers celebrate the Deepawali as their Nirvan Diwas of Mahaveer Swami, founder and the propounder  of Jainism.

        History : It has been recently a fact discovered that the birth place of Lord Mahaveera too lies in in Nalanda at Kundalpoor. Facts are based on archaeological evidences as temples, palaces have been unearthed around this area. It is obvious that Lord Mahaveer spent his much time in and around this locality in teaching his disciples. 

        Kundalpur is apart from Pawapuri in about 1K.M. from Nalanda University site where the  Digamberas believe that Vardhaman Mahavira, the last and 24th Tirthankars of the Jains was borne here. Naturally Kundal pur is a sacred place of the Jains. But according to some historians the birth place of Lord Mahavira was at Kundgram, a village in Vaishali which has been the capital of the ancient Republic of the Lichchavis.

On being asked he said to me that he wanted to be become an entrepreneur,

business man, engineer, artist,and writer altogether. As he a young so he dreams.

He collects further himself that he  was good enough in drawing  since childhood but he never noticed that. He adds to me when he was in class 12th he drew some pictures for his friends in school practical note book. They then  appreciated him a lot and told him that he was too good in drawing. After getting encouragement he started sketching regularly after some time he  found more improvements in his drawing gradually. 

'He  remembers that on the occasion of 5th of September,Teacher's Day 2019 he drew few sketches for his teachers they further motivated him a lot. Then he started posting his art work on internet, facebook and instagram collected much popularity among the people. And he kept sketching on and on  people nearby him started contacting him for making their sketches. Now he finds himself very busy.

He emails me some sketches of the renowned persons, that you have to guess. Few of which I place before you to examine his merit of art. Even I clear my doubts after sending some photos to be lined and he did it. And that was mine photo.He uses his tool for making the sketch as Tombow mono and art line graphite pencil, staedtler mars lumograph black pencil, ivory sheet, mono zero eraser mechanical pencil ,tissue paper ,paper stamp charcoal powder and white pen.

About his present study he acknowledged me that he had already cleared WBJEE exam and he got admission in Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata because his interest was found more in technology than art so he opted engineering side. 

As he is highly influenced with Leornado da Vinci so by hobby he  wanted to be an artist as well as an engineer so he will be showing his extra talent in sketching.

Ultimately we find that if he follows the right line under right direction he will be unique amongst us.
