                  PANDAVA BAKHARA

“You need a special shoes for hiking and a bit of a special soul as well.” You might have heard about this quote.so,today I am going to take you on a virtual tour of Pandava Bakhara,a historical site. To go and explore this place , you will need an adventurous mind and soul.

It is located in Pathapur,Pathapur is a small village in Banki(Cuttack district). It is about 50kms from Bhubaneshwar, which will take around 1hr and 15 mins.ASI has identified this ancient heritage. It’s geographical location is inside the Chandaka forest.

The caves inside the hills are named as Pandava Bakhara, Diarakhola, Tiger cave,Chanchali cave, Kalia Taila cave,Narahari cave and Anahat cave. There is a lake situated adjacent to the hill near the Mahanadi river. It is assumed that there was a civilization near that river. Few years back a research team discovered traces of human settlements and civilization which they stated as old as 4000 years. According to locals,the rock shelter was the abode of the Pandavas during their exile and hence the shelter is called Pandava Bakhara.

The distance of the rock shelter from the ground level is approximately around 1km and there is no specific way to reach there. Because of this reason it is less explored compared to other historical sites. It has no commutable path. But there is a famous quote “when everything feels like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top.” Nothing comes easily, so you have to put in bit of effort to enjoy the scenic beauty of this lost treasure.

Triveni Sangam, Allahabad 

One of the holiest places in Central India, Triveni Sangam is located about 7 kilometres away from Civil Lines in Allahabad (Prayagraj). It is the meeting point of three rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati (which is a mythical river, supposed to have dried up more than 4,000 years ago). It is one of the places where the Kumbh Mela is held once every 12 years. The exact date of the Mela is determined according to the Hindu calendar i.e. the Panchanga.

All three rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati are highly revered rivers in Indian mythology, and hence the confluence point of these rivers hold tremendous religious importance. According to Hindu mythology, taking a bath in the holy Triveni Sangam is supposed to flush away all the sins and free you from the cycle of rebirth. Moreover, the Sangam itself is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The brownish Ganga meeting the slightly greenish Yamuna is indeed a sight to behold.

If you take a boat ride to the gently flowing waters of Ganga and Yamuna, you'll be able to make out the difference in colours of water from the two rivers. There are also makeshift wooden banks made at the Sangam. Hence, devotees who want can take a bath right at the confluence point. The water is clean enough at the Triveni Sangam for a bath, especially during the winters; and also not very deep, so it is fun to take a dip in the water here.
