Presumably a Jain temple, the ancient structure with a grand platform carrying intricate carvings unique to the Hoysala era, was found at Shantinatha Basadi near Halebidu in Belur taluk, the officer added. Another Jain temple, Parshvanatha Basadi (built in 1133 AD) at Halebidu, Karnataka.

देश-दुनिया के सैलानियों के आकर्षण का केंद्र ही कुल्लू घाटी में पसरी बर्फ। इसलिए मनाली से रोहतांग तक पर्यटकों की आमद यहां लाखों लोगों के रोजगार का जरिया बन जाती है। बर्फ मानो चांदी की बरसात लेकर आती है। बसंत के बाद मैदानों की तपिश जैसे-जैसे बढ़ने लगती है, देश भर का पर्यटक इससे कुछ निजात पाने के लिए पहाड़ों की ओर रुख करने लगता है। ज्यों ज्यों मैदान ज्यादा गर्म होने लगते हैं त्यों त्यों पर्यटकों का यह रेला बढ़ता जाता है, मगर फिर जैसे ही मानसून दस्तक दे देता है तो यह सिलसिला एकदम से रुक जाता है, पूरी घाटी सूनी हो जाती है। यहां की खूबसूरती मन मोहने वाली है लेकिन बदलते हालात में अब पर्यटकों की पसंद भी बदलने लगी है और वह जहां गर्मी से निजात पाने के लिए पहाड़ों की ओर रुख करते हैं, वहीं उनकी पसंद बर्फ पर कूदना, भागना, गिरना, पड़ना, फिसलना, उड़ना और अठखेलियां करना भी हो गया है। बर्फ के फाह...

Originating from Vasudhara Tal, perhaps the largest glacial lake in Uttarakhand, the Dhauli Ganga flows in a meandering course, which takes it through the Nanda Devi National Park. Known for its spectacularly beautiful route and white water rafting, the river turned into a deathly torrent on Sunday after a part of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off and collapsed into it. Ganges at Rishikesh Dhauli Ganga, which merges with Alaknanda, is one of the several tributaries of the Ganga, as the holy river flows down from the Himalayas and snakes its way through the plains. The tributaries intersect, flow into one another or meander away passing through several towns from five states. In Uttarakhand, the Ganga and its tributaries pass through important tourist places like Rishikesh, Hard...

हंपी के कुछ हिस्सों में घूमते हुए कई बार लगता नहीं कि हम पांच सौ साल पुराने इतिहास के बीच हैं। सब कुछ इतना जीवंत लगता है। वहां जाकर महसूस होता है कि जीत का अहसास कितनी भव्यता प्रदान करता है और हार उस भव्यता को किस कदर मटियामेट कर देती है। हंपी में ये दोनों ही नजारे साथ-साथ देखने को मिलते हैं हेमकुटा पहाड़ियों पर बने इक्कीस शिव मंदिरों में से एक में मैंने बारिश से बचने के लिए अपने गाइड के साथ शरण ले रखी थी। पीछे विशाल चट्टानों से बहता पानी बहुत सुंदर लग रहा था। उसने छोटे-छोटे झरनों के आकार ले लिए थे। सामने विरुपाक्ष मंदिर के तीनों शिखर एक साथ दिखाई दे रहे थे। विरुपाक्ष मंदिर हंपी के उन गिने-चुने मंदिरों में से है जिनमें आज भी विधिवत पूजा होती है। विरुपाक्ष मंदिर के भीतर जितनी चहल-पहल थी, उसके उलट हेमकुटा पहाड़ी से आसपास बने शिव मंदिरों, जैन मंदिरों और पीछे विरुपाक्ष मंदिर क...
