Rang Ghar gets a luminous makeover as Sivasagar launches illumination project

1 2 3 4 Dibrugarh: Centuries-old Rang Ghar, often hailed as Asia's oldest amphitheatre, now stands bathed in luminous splendour as the Sivasagar district administration has successfully completed its ambitious monument illumination project. The initiative, which has transformed the visual landscape of the historic Ahom-era structure, represents a significant step toward preserving and promoting the state's rich cultural heritage. The illumination project has not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the iconic two-storied pavilion but has also sparked renewed public interest in the monument that once served as the royal sports pavilion of the Ahom kings. Built in 1746 during the reign of Swargadeo Pramatta Singha, Rang Ghar stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance and cultural sophistication of the Ahom dynasty. "This illumination project is part of our comprehensive effort to showcase the historical significance of our monuments to both domestic and international tourists. The response from visitors has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing amazement at how the lighting brings out the intricate architectural details of the structure," Sivasagar DC Ayush Garg said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2022 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo The district administration's vision extends beyond the Rang Ghar, with plans already underway to illuminate other significant Ahom-era monuments. The majestic Talatal Ghar, a seven-storied palace complex that served as the military base of the Ahom army, will soon get a similar facelift. The Kareng Ghar, another architectural marvel that functioned as the royal palace, is also slated for illumination, along with the serene Sivasagar Pukhuri (Lake) and the sacred Shiva Dol temple. "These monuments represent our glorious past and the advanced civilisation that flourished in Assam centuries ago. The illumination project will help younger generations connect with their heritage, while attracting tourists who appreciate the grandeur of Ahom architecture," Garg added. The district administration has also undertaken comprehensive programmes focusing on cleanliness and beautification of historical monuments, temples, tourist spots, parks, and other significant sites across the district. These initiatives aim to create a holistic tourism experience that honours the region's cultural legacy while meeting modern visitor expectations. "Our goal is to transform Sivasagar into a premier heritage destination. The illumination of these monuments is just the beginning of our larger vision to preserve and promote our historical treasures," Garg said.

Morjim turtle nesting site faced threat from illegal beach shacks last season

Panaji: The forest department's marine range forest officer reported that a number of violations were carried out by illegally operating shacks at the Olive Ridley turtle nesting site at Morjim during the last tourist season. Subsequently, an inspection was conducted by experts from the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA), which confirmed that two shacks were illegally erected in the area. The inspection report states that the violations included the setting up of two ground floor wooden structures as shacks, two metal fabricated toilets, 38 beach beds covered with 13 temporary sheds, 12 beach beds covered with umbrellas, and eight uncovered beach beds. Morjim is one of only four Olive Ridley turtle nesting sites in Goa. The turtle nesting season coincides with the peak tourist season in Goa from Nov to Feb. Although a part of the beach is protected through fencing to prevent disturbance to the turtle nests, during the last two nesting seasons, turtles were also reported laying eggs outside the fenced area, with nearly 100 eggs in each nest. Such nests are shifted by forest department officials and volunteers to the fenced area for protection. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo However, shacks in protected areas can disturb the movement of turtles, which are guided by instinct to the coast of their birth to lay eggs. 'Recently, there have also been a couple of incidents of cars being driven on this stretch of Morjim beaches by tourists,' said a local. Based on National Green Tribunal's orders, the turtle nesting sites in Goa were declared silence zones in Dec 2020, with strict regulation of tourism activities. This has led to an increase in nesting over the last couple of years. During the recent season, 18,243 eggs were laid along North Goa's coast, a majority of them in Morjim and Mandrem. However, tourism has also continued to grow manifold simultaneously. Meanwhile, the GCZMA will carry out hearings on the violations in Aug. 'The violating shacks have already been dismantled after the last season ended,' said a local.

Bhopal loses Haj embarkation point tag, pilgrims to fly from Indore

Bhopal: The state capital faces a significant change in Haj pilgrimage arrangements, losing its status as an embarkation point. Direct flights to Saudi Arabia from Bhopal will not operate next year. Indore stands as the only departure point among 17 designated cities across India. The direct Haj flight service from Bhopal to Saudi Arabia began in 2010. Pilgrims must now travel to Indore to access direct flights to Mecca-Medina, as it remains the sole departure point in the state. Approximately 8,500 people from the state undertook the Haj pilgrimage last year. The revised arrangement particularly affects pilgrims from central and eastern Madhya Pradesh. Residents from Vidisha, Raisen, Sehore, and Hoshangabad districts, who previously benefited from Bhopal's accessibility, now face additional travel requirements. According to the State Haj Committee, nearly 2,000 pilgrims from Bhopal and neighbouring areas must now travel 200 kilometres to reach Indore. The total number of pilgrims from MP was 8,500. This change increases both expenses and travel duration for pilgrims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

"We have written to the higher authorities to continue Bhopal as the embarkation point," said the Chairman of the Madhya Pradesh Haj Welfare Committee. While Indore's designation ensures one departure point remains in Madhya Pradesh, its location presents travel difficulties for numerous state residents. Officials confirm that Indore airport's facilities have been upgraded to manage increased pilgrim numbers. The airport has implemented additional support services to handle the higher volume of departing pilgrims. The Haj Committee plans to set up a helpdesk in Bhopal to support pilgrims, offering guidance about transport options and accommodation facilities in Indore.
