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.

After the unboxing video for GoPro Hero 9 Black (see the link below), as promised, we are back with the first hands-on experience of Hero 9. Putting this camera to some tough task, I have taken it for rafting on Ganges. Task was to test on many things. The picture and colour quality of the video, stabilisation as promised by the Hyper Smooth 3.0 function and its sturdiness. Colours are amazing, images are sharp. Camera took a heavy splash of water a number of times and well, it was fun every time. Results are here for all to so, also look the smoothness of the video even when the raft is riding on unsettling waves or even dropping in a gorge! Robust camera comes out a winner every time. https://youtu.be/uerbDEg7sOc See the unboxing video of GoPro Hero 9 Black: : https://youtu.be/t...

बनारस कहें या वाराणसी- या कहें काशी, शहर तो एक ही है। लेकिन, यह तीनों नाम एक ही शहर का परिचय अलग-अलग अंदाज़ में देते हैं। वाराणसी कहें तो मन में चित्र बन जाता है भगवान विश्वनाथ की नगरी का या दशाश्वमेध घाट की दुनिया भर में मशहूर संध्या आरती का। इस नगरी की बात ही खास है। पुरानेपन की शोभा समेटे यह आगे बढ़ने को आतुर नगरी है। काशी कहते ही लगता है हम एक बहुत पुराने स्थान की बात कर रहे हैं जिसका संबध सीधे भगवान राम के पूर्वज सत्यवादी राजा हरिश्चंद्र की जीवन गाथा से जुड़ा है। यह नगरी सदियों से संस्कृति, शिक्षा, भारतीय वैदिक ग्रंथों के ज्ञान और इनसे जुड़े मुद्दों पर जांच-परख-रिसर्च और विकास का केंद्र रही है। बनारस में सूर्योदय का शानदार नजारा वहीं, बनारस कहते ही दिमाग में यहां के एक बीत गए युग की कहानी, उस्ताद बिस्मिल्लाह खान की शहनाई, यहां के पान-ठंडाई-चाट-घाट और बनारसी साड़ियों की तस्वीर स...
