The Timelessness of Varanasi Jantar Mantar

November 20, 2018 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

When someone hears the word Varanasi or its other common name, Benares, that person will immediately identify the city with colours, festivals, Ganges, life, death, and the convergence of everything spiritual and cultural. Varanasi is apparently where the fusion of culture is at its highest.

A place so old, that its origin is yet unknown. As a matter of fact, the legendary poet Mark Twain once said that Benares is older than history, tradition, and even legend themselves. It then comes as no surprise that Varanasi, with all its glorious wonder, is the location of one of the almost forgotten treasures of Hinduism, the observatory Varanasi Jantar Mantar.

Shankaracharya Temple in Srinagar

November 14, 2018 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

On a hill near Srinagar’s Dal Lake is a shrine dedicated to the Lord Shiva: Shankaracharya Temple, one of the oldest temples in the region.  The temple as it is now is said to have been constructed around the year 800 AD, although its origins, strictly speaking, go back further than that.
