990 years ago in Gujrat!

June 15, 2017 by chinmayebhave

We all know about the sun temple in Konark, Odisha. But there is another amazing temple complex dedicated to Sun in western India. The Modhera sun temple in Gujarat. Modhera is situated 75km north-west of Ahmedabad near Mehsana; which is also the nearest railhead. This area was called Dharmaranya in the Solanki era and present day Patan was known as Anahilapataka – which was the capital of the Solanki kingdom. This sun temple consists of Gudhamandapa, Rangamandapa and a large […]

Ambernath Shiva Temple

June 13, 2017 by chinmayebhave

Not very far from Mumbai there is a marvelous 11th century temple of Lord Shiva. Very few people know about it and navigating to this place without gps can be tricky. But the grand monument is mostly intact with its rock carved sculptures and structural grace .. therefore, a must visit for heritage enthusiasts. Another unconfirmed trivia about this temple is it was visited by the great Guru Nanak in 1415 CE. This temple was built by Mahamandaleswara Chittaraj in […]

Jagdish Temple – Udaipur

June 13, 2017 by chinmayebhave

The best way to bond with your soulmate is to travel … My first long trip with my wife Manasi was our honeymoon in Kerala … After six long years we decided to go for a relaxing… rejuvenating ten day trip to Rajasthan.  A state both of us wanted to explore. An early morning flight on Jet Airways brought us to the lake city Udaipur … Our hotel Fabhotel Devraj Niwas had a simple rooftop restaurant with stunning view of […]

मुरांबा – एकदा जरूर चाखावा

June 12, 2017 by chinmayebhave

सचिन खेडेकर आणि चिन्मयी सुमीत आई-बाबा म्हणून … अमेय वाघ पंचविशीच्या आसपासचा मुलगा आणि मिथिला पालकरचे पदार्पण होणारी सून म्हणून … हे कास्टिंगच इतकं आवडलं की चित्रपट पाहायचा हे तेव्हाच ठरवलं होतं … मुरांबा ही म्हणाल तर एका मुलाची गोष्ट आहे … म्हणाल तर कुटुंबाची आणि म्हणाल तर आजच्या वडील-मुलगा नात्याची! आणि ही एक टिपिकल गोष्ट नाही त्यामुळे हा एक रिफ्रेशिंग सिनेमा असेल अशी अपेक्षा ट्रेलर आणि इंटरनेटवरील प्रमोशन पाहून झाली … ही एका प्रेमाची गोष्ट तर आहेच … पण […]

गाण्यांत गुंफलेल्या आठवणी – 1

June 10, 2017 by chinmayebhave

गाणी आणि आठवणी अगदी घट्ट गुंफलेल्या असतात एकमेकांमध्ये … हा जवळजवळ सगळ्यांचा अनुभव आहे … गाणीच कशाला काही आवाज, काही गंध सुद्धा विशिष्ट आठवणींना जोडले गेलेले असतात … यात काही वेगळं सांगतोय असं नाही … पण मागच्या आठवड्यात सचिनवरचा चित्रपट पाहिला … त्यामधील सचिन सचिन ही आरोळी ऐकताना सुद्धा शाळेतले क्रिकेट पाहण्याचे त्यावर तावातावाने वाद घालण्याचे दिवस आठवले. ते दिवस आमच्या पिढीने एकत्र अनुभवले आहेत … त्यामुळे मित्र-मैत्रिणी, त्यांच्याबरोबरचे धमाल किस्से सगळंच आठवलं …. ए आर रहमान हा माझा सगळ्यात लाडका संगीतकार […]

Fort Ghodbunder; a hidden gem

June 7, 2017 by chinmayebhave

कधीकधी आपल्या अगदी जवळ खूप खास गोष्टी, खूप खास जागा असतात … पण तिथं जाणं, तिथला इतिहास समजून घेणं आपल्याला जमतंच असं नाही घोडबंदर ही अशीच एक जागा … मी छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांचा चाहता …. त्यांच्या आरमाराबद्दल गजानन भास्कर मेहेंदळेंनी लिहीलेलं पुस्तक वाचताना प्रथमच जाणवलं की महाराजांच्या आरमाराची सुरुवात ही मुंबईच्या आसपास कल्याण-भिवंडीजवळ कुठंतरी उल्हास […]

किल्ले घोडबंदर: मुंबईच्या इतिहासाचा साक्षीदार

गाव म्हणजे कोळथरे

June 5, 2017 by chinmayebhave

अनेकदा तुझं मूळ गाव कोणतं हा प्रश्न विचारला जातो … आम्हाला गाव नाही असं मी सांगायचो! लहानपणी काकाकडे पुण्याला नाहीतर आजोळी बडोद्याला जाणे हाच नेम. पण कुलदैवत कोळेश्वर रत्नागिरी जिल्ह्यात कोळथऱ्याला. तिथं ९-१० वर्षांचा असताना गेलो होतो … ते गाव अगदी चित्रातल्या सुरेख गावासारखं वाटलं होतं. काही शब्द आणि काही चित्र यांची सांगड लहानपणीच अशी एकत्र घातली जाते की त्यांना वेगळं करणं शक्य होत नाही. परवा पुन्हा कोळथरेला जाण्याचा योग आला … माझी एकंदर सातवी खेप असेल इथं … खूप काही […]

Glimpses of CSMVS Museum

May 30, 2017 by chinmayebhave

Let me begin with a warning that it is a long post but mainly because of lots of images. My niece wanted to know more about the Harappan civilization for her project… She asked me lets google about it! I thought why not explore the biggest museum in the city and it may perhaps have some interesting artifacts. So we decided to visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (earlier known as the prince of wales museum) and almost 40ºC […]

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus

May 26, 2017 by chinmayebhave

How often does a mundane local train journey take you to a world heritage site. Well if you are a Mumbaikar it is perfectly possible … for the millions who travel southwards on the central line it is a daily routine. The train terminus formerly known as Victoria Terminus or Boribandar is today known as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. What is so special about this building? About 129 years ago it was one of the first grand European structures built […]
