The Chardham Yatra will have a lacklustre opening for the second consecutive year due to COVID-19 pandemic as the portals of Yamunotri and Gangotri will open on Friday and Saturday respectively without any pilgrims in attendance. Located in Uttarakhand's Garhwal region, all the four temples also called Chardham, have been kept out of bounds for devotees as a precautionary measure in view of the surge in COVID-19 cases. Not more than 25 people each, including priests, teerth purohits and district administration officials, will attend the opening ceremonies at Yamunotri and Gangotri which will be low-key affairs, Gangotri Mandir Samiti official Rajesh Semwal said. Last year also they had reopened after their closure in winters only so that the priests could conduct regular pray...

Thrissur Pooram, one of the most popular temple festivals in Kerala, was held here on Friday without losing its cultural fervour amid restrictions imposed by the government to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The colourful events, associated with the over 200- year- old festival, were held symbolically as spectators, who were denied entry at the pooram venue --the Thekkinkadu Maidan - enjoyed the parade of richly caparisoned elephants and performance by percussionists through virtual platforms. Less number of elephants were paraded this time as nine out of 10 temples participating in the pooram toned down the celebrations in the wake of the pandemic.

वारंगल को सबसे ज्यादा ककातीय वंश के शैव शासकों की राजधानी के तौर पर इतिहास में अहमियत मिली। उस समय यह दक्षिण के सबसे प्रभावशाली साम्राज्यों में से एक था। कालांतर में साम्राज्य भले ही ढह गया लेकिन ककातीयों ने शिल्प व कला के रूप में ऐसी विरासत छोड़ दी जिसे दुनिया आज भी याद करती है वारंगल किले में मानो जहां-तहां इतिहास बिखरा पड़ा है। किले का प्रवेश द्वार वारंगल रेलवे स्टेशन से महज दो ही किलोमीटर की दूरी पर है। फिर किले के अवशेष वहां से लेकर पांच किलोमीटर दूर तक हनमकोंडा तक फैले हैं लगभग सहस्त्र स्तंभ मंदिर को छूते हुए। किले के भीतर पहुंचने के बाद वहां खड़े ककातीय कला तोरणम सहसा ध्यान खींच लेते हैं। ककातीय वंश की भव्यता की कहानी कहते ये तोरण द्वार कितना ऐतिहासिक महत्व रखते हैं इसका अंदाजा इसी बात से लगाया जा सका है कि तेलंगाना राज्य के नए लोगो में पृष्ठभूमि में चारमीनार के साथ-साथ यह ककाती...
