Stunning iconography from the 5th century CE Gupta period shrines of Nachna Kuthara. Deep inside #Panna district of #MadhyaPradesh. A pity that there is no mention of such places at the popular tourist destination of #Khajuraho, less than 100 kms away.
4Kushinagar & Gorakhpur airports a mere 52 kms apart. How does it make sense to have both? Gorakhpur is primarily an air force base and should be left in that capacity. Having travelled through it recently, it’s civilian terminal is cramped. Better to develop Kushinagar instead.
Great news
International flights from Kushinagar airport set to commence from next month.
Air India Express to start Kushinagar Varanasi Bangkok flights in February.
The traditional #Gond shrine at Chaugan, deep in the #tribal heartland of central India in Madhya Pradesh’s #Mandla district. A place associated with eerie energy and exorcism. Complete with a ‘ladder to heaven’.
4At the Amaravati Site Museum in Andhra. Can you believe that this bull is dated to 2nd century CE, made of Palanadu Marble? I have not seen anything of this quality, intact material, belonging to this period in Tamil Nadu!
