Visit to Sai Mandir, B T Road

Some years back we went to Sai Mandir situated on B T Road, Sodepur. Today I am sharing the pictures of the temple.

It is a nice and quiet place. This is the main gate on B T Road.

From here the temple can be seen. Sai Baba's advice- Shraddha and Saburi are written on the entrance of the main building.

Inside there is the idol of Sai Baba. When we went there the morning aarati was over.

The temple has beautiful decoration with colourful artificial flowers, which look like real :)

The garden is maintained properly.

Just outside the temple there is this 75 ft tall GTS minar. A note from the PWD tells us that it was made on 1831, for the purpose of some geographical calculations by Trigonometry under the leadership of Gen. George Everest.

We had a nice morning trip :)

Devbhumi Kumaun- A Series on Doordarshan

There is a nice series called 'Devbhumi Kumaon', which has bene made by Pursuit Communications, and directed by- Deepak Bhatt and Rakesh Dag. The anchoring was done by a lady named- Nimmi. It takes the viewers to many famous places of Kumaon and tell us in details about those places, its history and the temples. Very informative programme, a treat to the audience who want to have a virtual visit to holy places of Kumaon only through the help of television.

The first episode informed us about Chand dynasty, which used to rule the area.
The previous name was Champawat.  

I have watched only a few episodes and loved it very much.

Any information about this series will be appreciated. Is it available online? It would have been very good if anyone can contact the persons related to this series and request them to either upload it to YouTube or to make it commercially available as a CD/DVD in market. Or the best would be a repaet of the whole series in any channel of Doordarshan. 

A beautiful series indeed!!



Jai Shri Krishna.
