Banares Hindu Vishwavidyalaya (BHU)

I had heard a lot about BHU. Was very proud to know Prof. Jayant Narlikar, a great Scientist is a product of BHU.

Planned to visit BHU with my uncle Prof. S S Kulkarni. Prof. Rathod was a great help in arranging the visit.

an equally impressive Museum (first time I visited a museum run by a University) and respectful remembrance of its founder Great Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya.

It was exciting to visit Kashi Vishveshwar Temple and also participate in the aarti at the river Ghat at night.

Sun Temple (Surya Mandir), Konark

I had visited Bhubaneshwar many times in the past, but every time due to some reason could not visit Konark. This time (Jan, 2010) I promised myself to visit Puri and Konark and I did it.

Mr. Giri from SIET, Bhubaneswar and Ms. Senapaty (best half of Prof. Senapaty from RIE Bhubaneswar) were with me and they made my trip to both these holy places valuable and memorable.

Sun Temple at Konark was built in13th-century. It was constructed from sandstone by King Narasimha I (1236-1264 CE) of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty.




It is also a world heritage site.
