Sun Temples in India are not easy to visit. They were the most magnificent temples once upon a time, but today they lie in absolute ruins. I have seen Konark Sun Temple in the East with missing Garbhagriha. Then, there is Modhera Sun Temple in the west located on the tropic of cancer in Gujarat, […]

I was studying Lalita Sahasranama and writing my own notes on it. That is when I came across Srinagar as the city of Rajarajeshwari Lalit Tripurasundari. I wondered if Srinagar in Kashmir is indeed that city. In my list of Cities Named After Devi, I remember mentioning Sharika Devi as the presiding deity of Srinagar. […]

I kept hearing of Kheer Bhawani at many seminars and conferences. Every time her mention added a force that was pulling me towards her. Given the turbulent times in Kashmir, one is never sure if one can visit the temples in Kashmir. I guess, at some point in time, the pull becomes strong enough to […]

Anuradha Goyal: Ashish Kaul is the author of a beautiful book on ‘Didda-the Warrior Queen of Kashmir.’ I’ve been reading about Kashmir, and I realized that Didda ruled Kashmir at my favorite time in India.

Houseboats in Srinagar – Can a trip to Kashmir or Srinagar to be specific ever be complete without experiencing them?
