Nepal In Pictures

Nepal In Pictures Himalayas- Manaslu and More
Manaslu (मनास्लु, also known as Kutang) is the eighth highest mountain in the world, located in the Mansiri Himal, part of the Nepalese Himalayas. Manaslu is derived from the Sanskrit word Manasa and is translated as "Mountain of the Spirit".

Manaslu is the highest peak in the Lamjung district... and is located about forty miles east of Annapurna, the world's tenth highest mountain. The mountain's long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions, and culminate in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape, and is a dominant feature when viewed from afar.

Manaslu was first climbed on May 9, 1956 by Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, members of a Japanese expedition
Trekking in the Manaslu region
The Manaslu region offers a variety of trekking options. The region comprises sub-tropical foothills of the Himalaya to arid Trans-Himalayan high pastures bordering Tibet. The famous Manaslu trekking route goes around the Manaslu massif over the pass down to Annapurna. The trekking trail follows an ancient salt-trading route along the Budhi Gandaki river.

The higher region is divided into two ethnic habitats: Nubri and Tsum. The branching off of the river at Chhikur divides these two ethnic domains. While Nubri has been frequently visited after Nepal opened itself for the tourism in 1950, Tsum, still retains much of its time honored culture, art, and tradition. The region is dotted with austere monasteries, maniwalls, chortens and other Buddhist religious landmarks. The traditional faith of non-violence and compassion augments the wild-life diversity of the region. Unlike many other regions, this valley is a sanctuary to many highly endangered animals, including Snow Leopards and Pandas. Over 110 species of birds, 33 mammals, 11 butterflies and 3 reptiles have been recorded. The valley basin has a rich ecotone diversity and includes nineteen different types of forests, most prominently Rhododendron, and also Himalayan blue pine, which is flanked by Ganesh Himal and the Sringi ranges.

When trekking through the Manaslu region, 10 peaks over 6500 m. are visible, including ones over 7000 m. The Tsum region, which was restricted for tourists for a long time, is now the center of attraction for intrepid trekkers, with the government of Nepal recently opening it for group tourists. People add Tsum Valley and the Ganesh Himal Base Camp as acclimatization trips before going on expeditions through the high passes. In order to retain its pristine culture and sustain its fragile ecosystem, the Tsum Welfare Committee is involved in the promotion of responsible tourism in Tsum. However, local participation for sustainable tourism is still a challenging task with a long road ahead. [2]

Nepal In Pictures Places- Cities and Towns Of Nepal- Tansen
Tansen is a town in the Palpa District of Nepal. It is located at 27°52'0N 83°32'60E with an altitude of 1090 metres (3579 feet).[1]

The former capital of the Magar Kingdom of Tanahun, Tansen is a romantic medieval hill town, perched high above the Kali Gandaki River on the road ...between Butwal and Pokhara. The narrow winding streets are full of Newari shop-Houses and temples and most of the center is too steep for cars, which all adds up to Tansen's charm. Tansen has been targeted by Maoist on several occasions including a major assault on the Tansen Durbar compound in 2006.

Until the rise of the Shahs, Tanahun was one of the most powerful Kingdoms of Nepal. Troops from Palpa even came close to conquering Katmandu in the 16th century under the leadership of Mukunda sen. The powers of the magars waned in the 18th century and Tansen was reinvented as a Newari Trading post on the trade route between India and Tibet.

Metal working and Dhaka, the fabric used for traditional Nepali Jackets and topis (cloth hats) are still important local industries.

Tansen is a maze of narrow alleys, the main road snakes around the western edge of town. The most important landmark is the octagonal Pavilion in the middle of Sitalpati, the main market square. The town developed as a market centre for the Newari traders and artisans famous for their metal and dhaka (cloth) industry.

World Heritage Status
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on January 30th, 2008 in the Cultural category[2].

Nepal In Pictures Cities and Towns- Janakpur Dham
Janakpur, [Nepali: जनकपुर नगरपालिका) less commonly Janakpurdham, is a city in Nepal. Janakpur is the administrative headquarters of Dhanusa District of the Janakpur Zone and has a population of approximately 80,000. [1] The city is located about 400 km south-east of Kathmandu, 20 km from ...the Indian border[1] at 26° 42' 44" N, 085° 55' 18" E[2] Janakpur has a substantial tourist industry due to its significance in the Hindu religion[3] and is home to the only operational railway in Nepal, the Janakpur Railway.
Janakpur, historically called Mithila, is the centre of the ancient Maithili culture, which has its own language and script.

The first millennium BC text Śatpath Brāhmana tells that the king Māthava Videgha, led by his priest Gotama Rahugana, first crossed the Sadānirā (Gandaka) river and founded the kingdom of Videha, whose capital city was Mithila. As Gotama Rahugana composed many hymns in the Rgveda, these events must date to the Rgvedic period.

The most important historical reference to Mithila/Janakpur is in the Hindu epic Ramayana, where Lord Rama's wife Sita Devi (also called Janaki) is said to have been the princess of Videha. Her father, King Janak, found baby Sita in a furrow of a field and raised her as his daughter. When she grew up, the king announced that she should be wed by whoever was able to string the divine bow of Shiva. Though many royal suitors tried, Lord Rama, prince of Ayodhya, alone could even lift the bow. As Rama and Sita are major figures in Hinduism, Janakpur is an important pilgrimage site for Hindus.

In addition, both the great saints Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhism, and Vardamana Mahavira, the 24th and final Tirthankara of the Jain religion, are said to have lived in Mithila/Janakpur. The region was an important centre of Indian history during the first millennium.
Geography and climate
Janakpur is located in the Terai, alluvial, forested and marshy terrain at the base of the Himalaya mountain range.

Economy
Janakpur is one of the fast developing cities of Nepal and is on the way to meet the criteria for being the seventh Sub-Metropolitan city of Nepal. The city enjoys good transportation facilities including road and air connectivity with other cities of Nepal as well as India.[4] Janakpurdham is also the only city in the country with railway access.[4] The city has health facilities, as well as good private schools and colleges and Internet service providers.

Janakpur attracts migrants from the surrounding area,[4] who move to the city for medical care, education and jobs. The largest employer is the Janakpur Cigarette Factory Limited.
Transport
Janakpur has an airport with connections to Kathmandu.[4] The narrow-gauge Janakpur Railway is the only operational railway in Nepal.[4] It connects Janakpur to the Indian town of Jaynagar. Frequent bus service operates between Janakpur and other cities of Nepal.[4] Within the city, travellers may hire manually pulled rickshaws.
Demographics
The Maithili language is widely spoken in the area as the first language. Nepali is well-understood.

Culture
Temples and festivals

Janaki Mandir, JanakpurThe centre of Janakpur is dominated by the impressive Janaki Mandir to the north and west of the bazaar. This temple, one of the biggest in Nepal, was built in 1911 (1968 in the Nepali calendar) by Queen Brisabhanu Kunwar of Tikamgarh.[5] It is also called "Nau Lakha Mandir" after the cost of construction, said to be nine (nau) lakh. The oldest temple in Janakpur is Ram Mandir, built by the Gurkhali soldier Amar Singh Thapa.[5] Pilgrims also visit the more than 200 sacred ponds in the city for ritual baths. The two most important, Dhanush Sagar and Ganga Sagar, are located close to the city centre. The Vivah Mandap temple is famous for its gardens.

Major religious celebrations include the major Hindu festivals such as Diwali, and Dhashara.[5] followed by specacular Chhath Puja (worship to sun) 6 days after Diwali. On the full moon day of February/March before the festival of Holi, a one-day Parikrama (circumambulation) of the city is celebrated. Many people offer prostrated obeisances along the entire eight km route. Two other festivals honour Rama and Sita: Rama Navami, the birthday of Lord Rama, in March-April, draws over 100,000 people. And the Bibhaha (Vivah) Panchami festival re-enacts the wedding of Rama and Sita in the famous Vivah Mandap temple on the fifth day of the waxing moon in November or early December. Over 100,000 pilgrims come for a procession with elephants, horses, and decorated chariots with beating drums.

Pilgrims stay in one of the city's five good hotels or small guest houses. There are also five fully equipped dharmashalas (free lodgings for pilgrims).

Nepal In Pictures Temples and Holy Sites in Nepal-
Bagalamukhi Maataa
In Hinduism, Bagalamukhi or Bagala is one of the ten mahavidya goddesses. Bagalamukhi Devi smashes the devotee's misconceptions and delusions by her cudgel. She is also known as 'Pitambara' in Northern Parts of India
Iconography
"Bagalamukhi" is derived from "Bagala" (di...stortion of the original Sanskrit root "valgā") and "mukha", meaning "bridle" and "face", respectively. Thus, the name means one whose face has the power to capture or control. She thus represents the hypnotic power of the Goddess.[1]

The name literally means “crane faced,” though this is a misnomer. The name 'Bagla' is . She has a golden complexion and her cloth is yellow. She sits in a golden throne in the midst of an ocean of nectar full of yellow lotuses. A crescent moon adorns her head. Two descriptions of the goddess are found in various texts- The 'Dwi-BhujA' (two handed), and the 'ChaturbhujA' (Four handed).

The Dwi-BhujA depiction is the more common, and is described as the 'Soumya' or milder form. She holds a club in her right hand with which she beats the demon, while pulling his tongue out with her left hand. This image is sometimes interpreted as an exhibition of stambhana, the power to stun or paralyse enemy into silence. This is one of the boons for which Bagalamukhi’s devotees worship her. Other Mahavidya goddesses are also said to represent similar powers useful for defeating enemies, to be invoked by their worshippers through various rituals.

Bagalamukhi is also called a 'Pitambaradevi' or 'Brahmastra Roopini", Bagalamukhi turns each thing into its opposite. She turns speech into silence, knowledge into ignorance, power into impotence, defeat into victory. She represents the knowledge whereby each thing must in time becomes its opposite. As the still point between dualities she allows us to master them. To see the failure hidden in success, the death hidden in life, or the joy hidden in sorrow are ways of contacting her reality. Bagalamukhi is the secret presence of the opposite wherein each thing is dissolved back into the Unborn and the Uncreate.

Legend
Once upon a time, a Huge storm erupted over the earth. As it threatened to destroy whole of the creation, all the gods assembled in the Saurashtra region. Goddess Bagalamukhi emerged from the 'Haridra Sarovara', and appeased by the prayers of the gods, calmed down the storm.

A demon named Madan undertook austerities and won the boon of vak siddhi, according to which anything he said came about. He abused this boon by harassing innocent people. Enraged by his mischief, the gods worshipped Bagalamukhi. She stopped the demon's rampage by taking hold of his tongue and stilling his speech. Before she could kill him, however, he asked to be worshipped with her, and she relented, That is why he is depicted with her.

Worship
Major temples to the goddess are situated in the Himachal Pradesh in the north, and at Nalkheda at Shajapur and Datia in Madhya Pradesh. Nepal, where the worship of tantric goddesses had Royal patronage, also has a large temple devoted to Bagalamukhi in the Newar city of Patan. The territory of the Bagalamukhi temple in Patan also has several other temples there: a Ganesha temple, a Shiva temple, a Saraswati temple, a Guheswari temple, a Bhairabha temple and also temples for many other gods and goddesses. In Hinduism there are 330 million separate gods and goddesses. The main difference between any other temple and a Bagalamukhi temple is that if someone worships all the gods in this temple, they would actually worship all 330 million gods and goddesses at one place. Bagalamukhi Devi Temple is situated at Guma in Mandi, in the state of Himachal Pradesh in North India. Large numbers of Hindu devotees offer prayers here to fulfil their wishes. Bagalamukhi Puja is performed by an experienced Pandit, as any mistake in the ritual may result in bad effects.

Bagalamukhi Devi is one of the ten Hindu Goddesses of Power. Bagalamukhi Puja is performed according to Vedic ritual, to defeat enemies. It not only decreases the power of the enemy, but also creates an atmosphere where they become helpless. The Abhimantrit Bagalamukhi Yantra is also used for the same purpose. It protects the person from enemies and evils. There is a beautiful Mandir of Ma Bagalamukhi in Varanasi as well.

Bagalamukhi maha mantra is as below:

Bagalamukhi Mantra ||. || OM HLEEM BAGALAMUKHI SARVA DUSHTANAM VAACHAM MUKHAM PADAM STAMBHAYA JIVHAAM KILAYA BUDDHIM VINASHAYA HLEEM OM SVAHA ||

Bagalamukhi maha mantra's meaning is as below:

Oh Goddess, paralyse the speech and feet of all evil people. Pull their tongue, destroy their intellect.

The Maa Bagala Devi temple of Guwahati in the State of Assam is situated near the famous "Shakti" temple of Kamakhya in the Nilachal Hills. According to Shri Yogeshwaranand the author of Baglamukhi Sadhna Aur Siddhi these are the main precautions to do baglamukhi sadhna 1.first prepare yourself to do sadhna. It means to do hard work. 2. select a mature Guru and get Diksha. 3. there are two methods of this pious sadhna, first- Dhakshin marg and second Vama marg. In these both margs Dakshin marg is understood better because of Vedic method, but it is also said that in Kaliyuga Vama marg is better because of early achievements. Hence firstly decide the Marg to which you are going to accept. 4. After getting Dhiksha start your Mantra-Japa according to the directions of your Guru. 5. For any Baglamukhi- sadhak it is necessary to use yellow garments, yellow Aasan,yellow(Haldi)rosary, yellow chandan(sandal),and yellow Bhog(dishes) in the worship of Bhagwati Pitambara. 6. To get Siddhi(kripa of Bhagwati) every one should try to go near Bhagwati by Her worship, Hawan & Mantra- Japa, it means Adwet Bhava. (Adwet Bhava stands for that there is no difference between you and your Devta). 7.Every Sadhak (Priest or worshipper) should never tease to any Jeeva---any animal, any bird or any human. He should never try to do such any work by which anybody hurts or his soul hurts. 8. Bhagwati Bagla is Vashnavi Shakti, so She is understood the Palanhara of the world. Every girl, lady is a part of This Mahashakti, so never tease or harash women. A sadhak should always respect them like Bhagwati. Above all directions are used in both Marga(ways) of Sadhna.These both margs are the ways who carry a Sahak to his last Lakshya(aim)---Moksha. But some Sadhak use this Mahavidhya in Kamya-Karm. To do these Karmas one should use accurate methods, which are told by his Gurudev. In these Kamya Karmas this Mahavidhya is used to kill anybody, attract anybody,to make mad like any body , or such like these things. This Mahavidya is mainly used for Stambhan,Ucchatan,Vashikaran etc. To get victory in elections & suits this Mahavidhya is highly effected. The enemies of a Bagla-Sadhak can not stand before him. They are destroyed like a mosquito. Any Kritya-Prayoga can not stand before this Mahavidhya. This Mahavidhya is also said Pervidhya-Grasani. It means any Prayog madeby your enemy or done by any other Tantrik can never effect any Bagla-Sadhak. This Mahavidhya is used in various ways. But one should not use it above mentioned methods. You may protect yourself ,but never harm to any one by using the power of This greatest Mahavidhya. But by any reason if a Sadhak becomes compelled to use these methods, he should learn them by his Gurudev. Baglamukhi sadhna is one of the great achievement in life because when you start doing baglamukhi sadhna it is the symbol that you are on the right path of the life that is self knowledge or moksha. Hurdles in the path of moksha are kama, krodha, lobha , moha & ahankar. These are our internal enemies which can not be killed physically. When you start baglamukhi sadhna with no desire of fruit than you will feel that you are becoming more energetic & you are getting control on your thoughts because thoughts are first reason to do the good things or bad things. You will become what you think. And when you have control over it you can become what you want & you will achieve every goal in life.

Midnight Fire
On 2009-March-16, the Bagalamukhi temple in Patan was damaged when a fire broke out at midnight on Sunday. But timely action on the part of the security guard, fire engines and locals saved the settlement. Lila Bohora, the temple watchman, had rung the temple bells to alarm locals about the fire. Two fire engines from Kathmandu and Lalitpur rushed to the scene, even as locals started pouring water to douse the fire. It took the fire engines two hours to put out the blaze. The fire damaged the temple's sanctum sanctorum. The fire also destroyed gold and silver idols and the silver canopy of snakes under which a tiny image of Bagalamukhi, the much-revered deity, is seated.
