After returning from Badrinath, Adiyen also visited Tirumala-Tirupati and participated in Vimsathi darshanam a scheme which allows a family of 6 members to have Suprabatham, Nijapada and SahasraDeepalankara seva for any 2 consecutive days in a year . It was only due to the abundant grace of Thiruvengadamudaiyan adiyen was able to vist all the Divya desams without any difficulty. Before proceeding further, Adiyen would like to thank all the internet bhagavathas especially Sri Rangasri group members and M.S.Ramesh for providing abundant information about these divya desams. I have uploaded a Map of the hills again downloaded from UP Tourism site for ready reference . As Adiyen had not planned the trip in advance, it was not possible to join “package tour” organised by number of travel agencies and could not do as it was Off season. Adiyen wishes to share my experience with all of you and request the bhagavathas to correct the shortcomings. Adiyen was blessed to take my father aged about 70 years a heart patient , to this divya desam and it would not be an exaggeration to say that only because of my acharyar’s and elders’ blessings , the trip was very comfortable.

  • Making Attributes in the Streets of Indian Religious Cities
    International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology (IJCIET) Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2018, pp. 1548–1557, Article ID: IJCIET_09_11_150 Available online at http://iaeme.com/Home/issue/IJCIET?Volume=9&Issue=11 ISSN Print: 0976-6308 and ISSN Online: 0976-6316 © IAEME PublicationScopus Indexed PLACE- MAKING ATTRIBUTES IN THE STREETS OF INDIAN RELIGIOUS CITIES Meeta Tandon Associate Professor Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Integral University, Lucknow, India Vandana Sehgal Professor, Faculty of Architecture, Dr.A.P.J.AbdulKalam Technical University, Lucknow, India ABSTRACT The research paper aims to analyse the perception of people about the components of sense of place in Indian streets leading to the temple complex in religious cities of Mathura and Vrindavan, both being important places for devotees of Lord Krishna. The traditional streets on which the temples are located have a distinct character and there seems to be a strong sense of attachment to the place amongst the pilgrims and the residents alike. A contemporary street may not have a similar character but might be more functional. The study of both the traditional (Mathura) and newer contemporary street (Vrindavan) can help us to arrive at strategies and learning from both to strengthen and enhance sense of place. To achieve at the objectives of research, a face to face structured questionnaire survey was conducted. The results indicate that the contemporary streets have scored high not only in the physical and functional components but also in socio-cultural and perceptual components as compared to traditional streets implying that the streets are more than just a transit to the temple.
