Gulbargaa.. a cool place for a leisurely visit...

Date: July 17,2009
Place: Gulbarga, Karnataka




Its always adventurous when we (me and my brother - he is the companion for most of my journeys since my childhood) travel to any place. The main reason being, we don't sit and plan for the travel. Its the ad-hoc way of implementation :) :). All of a sudden, out of blue - we decide to travel to a place and banggggggggg!!!!

The mode of journey - can be anything. Time we start our journey - can be any time.. be it early hours or late night. Its just the moment we start :)...


We started our journey to Gulbarga by bus.. and it was all good.. :) we had loads of fun when a fellow-passenger describing about some other place...

As soon as we got down there, we started to the temple(Sharana Basaveswar Temple) in Gulbarga.

The temple was a very old one with a beautiful architecture. And from there we have started to the Famous Dargah at Gulbarga... " దర్గా కదా మాకు టోపీ లేదు అని అక్కడ పూల దుకాణం వాడు టోపీ వేసాడు :):) 30 రూపాయల పూలని 100 కి గిట్టుబాటు చేసాడు :) అయినా మమ్మల్ని మోసం చేసేవాడు లేడు, అందుకే మేమే మా అంతట మోసపోయాం :):) "

but its a very spacious darga with a nice tank/pond/something to store water - where we need to clean ourselves before we get into the darga. A very nice architecture again and you can see that below...




Me at darga - dont try to find if I already washed my face or yet to :P you cannot find it..




Mr.Ever Fresh(Everyouth :P)

Yes, there you see the upcoming culprit for the darga.. a new plant heading upwards to bring the monument down...


Here they do some puja with some mantra to make a person normal when some soul attacks him/her. We heard some strange sounds there....




From there, we started to another monument (Buddha vihar) near Gulbarga. This is abosolutely pleasant to see and to stay around... We went there by a Jatka and the journey was awesome when we travelled for about more than one hour and on the way we captured another jatka crossing us....My brother got a very nice video of the journey.. here it is...






and some nice photos we have taken at Gulbarga....




My new avataar - The jatkawala...



Buddhavihar from distant place..


A very beautiful sight with nice dense clouds in the background!!!


I AM THE KING - I dont sit on Throne but The place I sit is my Throne.. :) hahaha :)


oh my god what a construction...


I found on that day - that I can stay in air for more than one year ... :P see this witness....



Probably this innocent look made the person selling flowers at darga to "put topi" on our heads...


offooo... so much of competition for the jatkawala post.. :)....


All in all, it was a pleasant experience and I feel winter will be the right time to visit ( we went during rainy when there was no rain :):) only clouds )
