There is a series which is aired sometimes on DD Bharati with the name- 'Desert Diary'. It has a nice format, that is- a lady visits many places of Rajasthan and writes about them in her diary. It is through her eyes that we see the state :)
I have watched only one episode of it and loved it.
Today I am writing about the places covered in that episode.
It was based on the forts and temples of Barmer district. We were taken to very old Kiradu temples, which are in ruins now. It has temples of Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and Ganesha. Scenes of Krishna leela and also various incidents from Shri Ram's life are depicted on the walls. Someshwara temple, which is of Lord Shiva, is the most famous of all these temples, it is the best preserved temple till now.
The episode also told us about the myth or history related to the place, how the villagers annoyed a sage and he cursed the village, as it seems, may be that is the reason why the place is less populated till now.
I really liked the concept of the series, sharing the visits of the anchor through her diary :), so thought to write about it today :)
A coincidence :) - Recently an episode of 'Strictly Street'- a programne on Travel XP, also featured Barmer and I enjoyed the episode as the host Rohan Patole went to the same places which were covered in Desert Diary :).
