Company Bagh, Mussoorie

Mansoori or popularly known as Mussoorie is a famous hill station in the state of Uttarakhand. Mansoor is a shrub found in the region; hence the name Mansoori to the place that later changed to Mussoorie may be by the Britishers.

Mansoori is a beautiful hill station with chilled breeze blowing around even during Summers hence the favorite destination for Indians during Summers. This was my first visit to Mansoori. Though I liked the place but was little disappointed with the growth of hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and other constructions in the area destroying the beauty of Mansoori. You will not find the beauty of Mansoori that we all have seen in the movies during early 60's and 70's. Anyway, still it is worth visiting place if you are planning to visit Uttarakhand.

We had been to few places in Mansoori and Company Bagh is one such place where we enjoyed the most. It is a beautiful Garden with vast variety of flowers. I would like to share some of those wonderful images that I shot during my visit to Company Bagh. Here they come:

This is what you come across the moment you enter the Garden.

Look at this beautiful Red Rose. Lovely! Isn't it?

Here comes another.

Now comes the White Roses. Aren't they beautiful?

This is unbelievable stuff. It looks so unreal. Did it come out of my lens? Yes it did and no photo shop. Absolutely unedited raw image. Unbelievable.

Here comes the beautiful Pink Rose.

And comes the yellow ones.

Don't they look like Butterflies?

Don't even know the names of these flowers. What is there in a name you just enjoy the flowers as we did.

I hope you enjoyed this post. If you like it please share this to your friends. Thank you!

Rishikesh, Mussoorie and Haridwar

I heard many legends about "Rishikesh" since my childhood days. It is considered as Devi Bhoomi, the land of Gods and Tapo Bhoomi, the land of Penance. They say, many Gods lived here and great saints and sages did their tapas and attained enlightenment. Finally, after a long wait of 40 years I got a chance to visit Rishikesh. I must thank my teacher Smt. Zarna Mohan for conducting an Iyengar yoga workshop at Rishikesh. And how can I forget Parmeshwar ji who is responsible for the yoga workshop and our char dham yatra. Thank you Parmeshji. The major attraction of Rishikesh is off course the sacred river Ganga. You will find many temples, yoga and Ayurveda centers and ashrams across the banks of river. It is considered as World Capital of Yoga as well. I haven't found the Rishikesh I heard of. It is very much crowded now and many trees in the forests have been shaved off for construction of ashrams, hotels and other commercial establishments. But still I got co...

Guruji's Vision on Bellur

As a part of my trip to Bellur, this is the second edition of my update on Bellur. In this I decided to share the vision of Guruji on Bellur and the developments that are taking place to fulfill his vision. Guruji had a vision on Bellur, his birth place. He saw the people of Bellur are suffering from Poverty, Illiteracy, Unemployment and ill-health. With a vision to help the people of Bellur he established a trust named after his parents "Bellur Krishnamachar and Seshamma Smaraka Nidhi Trust." Under the Umbrella of this Trust, he established a High School, a College, a Hospital, a Yoga Hall etc imparting education, health and employment to the people of Bellur. Today I am going to guide you to the trip of Bellur through the lenses of my camera. These two idols of Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge and Lakshmi, the goddess of Wealth gives the first darshan on the walls of BKSSNT entrance. And rightly so, Guruji's Trust imparts the wealth of health throu...

Beautiful Mana Village

Mana is the last Indian village from the border of India and Tibet in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. It is located in the district of Chamoli at an elevation of 3219 meters and is designated as the tourist village by the Government of Uttarakhand. Most of the tourists visiting Badrinath visits Mana as it is 3 Kms away from Badrinath. Early morning after the darshan of Badrinath two of companions Mr. & Mrs Varma left back to Hyderabad due to their prior commitments. Kamesh, Mani, Virupaksha, Tulsi and I visited Mana village the same day around 10 A.M. It is a small beautiful village with around 150-180 houses in the village. It is surrounded by some of these beautiful snow mountains. Mana is famous for its woollen garments and materials likes blankets, sweaters, shawls, mufflers, caps etc. mostly of sheep wool. For visitors I would advise them not to buy warmers in the cities but rather buy them here in Mana village. City w...
