Sikkim Yatra North-East India Sikkim Yatra North-East India Sikkim: The state of Sikkim is remotely located in North-East India amidst the Kanchenjunga ranges of Himalayas. Far flung from mainland India, Sikkim is endowed with Lord Krishna’s amazing enchanting natural scenic beauty and spectacular views of formidable majestic mountain peaks of Kanchenjunga. It is 100% organic state of India and is bordered by China, Bhutan and Nepal. ISKCON Sikkim: By mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila Prabhupada and devotees it is heartening and inspiring that International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has a Temple in Gangtok, Sikkim’s capital. It is not so easy to preach to locals here, still a small group of devotees live here and perform devotional services for pleasure of Lord Krishna including transcendental book distribution. On Janmastami, over 5000 people, including the state Governor attend the festivities. Devotees from other temples also help. Hanuman Tok temple: In the upper ranges of Himalayas there is an ancient Hanuman Tok temple. According to the local legends, when Hanuman was flying with Dronagiri Parvat (Mountain) which had the life-saving Herb Sanjeevani to save Lord Rama's brother Lakshmana, he rested in the spot for a moment where this temple now lies. It is located in upper ranges at an altitude of 7,200 ft and on a road that branches off from the Gangtok- Nathula Highway which leads to China. It is at a distance of 11kms from Gangtok, the state capital. Hanuman Tok temple has beautiful dioramas depicting pastimes of Lord Ramacandra. Climb to Hanuman Tok temple as road leads directly to the car park of the temple. From the temple one can also gaze spectacular views and horizons of Himalayan ranges. Besides there are also Buddhist monasteries in Sikkim. People of Sikkim are generally simple and peaceful. Recently direct flights have started from Kolkata to Pakyong (PYG) airport. One can also take taxi from Siliguri to travel to Gangtok, which will take about 4 hours to reach. Siliguri is in north West Bengal and is well connected from Bagdogra airport by direct flights from Kolkata and rest of India.

Pin-741101 http://www.krishnagargovtcollege.org/ [email protected] Abstract: Tourism is now one of the largest industries in the world that has developed alongside the fascinating concept of eco-tourism. The concept of tourism could be traced back to ancient times when people travelled with a view to acquiring knowledge of unknown lands and people, for the development of trade and commerce, for religious preaching and also for the sheer adventure of discovery.

Gangtok as a core centre of Sikkim has potential command area over different tourist spots in East Sikkim, which are directly linked by a network of roads centering Gangtok and are perfectly accessible for one-day trips. The tourist attractions of East Sikkim are clustered mostly in and around Gangtok, the state capital. This study shows the tourism infrastructure as well as seasonal arrival of tourists in the Gangtok city and to develop the probabilistic travel model on the basis of tourist perception which will help the tourism department for the further economic development of the area.

  • Sikkim / Bhutan - 22.03.-12.04.2017
    Studienreise 2017 - Sikkim / Bhutan - 22.03.-12.04.2017 22.03.17 Frankfurt Abflug in Frankfurt 14:30 Uhr (Ankunft Dubai: 23:45 Weiterflug: 02:00 Uhr) 23.03.17 Kolcata Ankunft um 07:40 Uhr. Nach der Abholung am Flughafen werden wir im Hotel einchecken und nach einer Rast einen Spaziergang machen, vom Hotel aus in die Sudder Street und über die Parkstreet zum South Park Street Cemetery, einem Friedhof aus dem Jahre 1767 der zu diesem Zeitpunkt wahrscheinlich der größte Christliche Friedhof außerhalb Europas war. Das Besondere je- doch ist die Mischung aus Gotischem bzw. Indo-Sarazenischem Stil der Grabstellen. Da der Friedhof geschlossen ist, wird dieser Ort der Ruhe noch heute wie eine Parkanlage genutzt, um der Hektik der Großstadt entflie- hen zu können. Am Nachmittag werden wir das Ufer des Hooghly (Mündungsarm des Ganges) unterhalb der imposanten Howrah Bridge besu- chen. Hier spazieren wir durch den größten Blumenmarkt Indiens. Viele bunte Farben, Gerüche, lie- benswerte und neugierige Menschen, Lastenträger und Rikscha Fahrer vermitteln ein eindringliches Stimmungsbild von Indien. 24.03.17 Kolcata-Bagdogra-Darjeeling Am Morgen fliegen wir nach Bagdogra (Flugzeit ca. 1 Stunde). Nach Ankunft in Bagdogra fah- ren wir nach Darjeeling (100 Km – ca. 3,5 Stunden), einst Teil des Königreiches Sikkim, dessen Name aus dem tibetischen Dorjee (Blitz und Donner) und Ling (Platz) stammt. Die Fahrt ist hier das Ziel. Über sich windende Straßen passieren wir kleinere Ortschaften und bekommen einen ersten Eindruck der berühmten Teeregion. Der Rest des Tages steht Ihnen zur freien Verfügung. 25.03.17 Darjeeling Noch vor Sonnenaufgang geht es auf den Tiger Hill.

  • The RULE of RAMA from the Bay of Bengal to the Pacific Ocean
    The RULE of RAMA from the Bay of Bengal to the Pacific Ocean Nicanor G. Tiongson or the last 2,000 years or more, the Ramayana, which first sprang to life in F India, has been transplanted to the countries of South, East, and Southeast Asia. The epic was assimilated and transformed by the host countries according to local history, geography and way of life. Accepted in all levels of society, it was then interpreted by local artists in oral and written literature, in music, dance and theatre, and in architecture, painting, sculpture and crafts. Today, the Ramayana continues to permeate these regions so deeply that it cannot be extracted from them without destroying the basic fabric of their cultures.

  • The Study of Semiotics Wayang Kulit Theatre in Malay Culture Society
    4-06 Dahlan:EMP 1 05/06/2012 9:37 Página 321 The Study of Semiotics Wayang Kulit Theatre in Malay Culture Society DAHLAN Bin Abdul Ghani University Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [email protected] Recibido: 21/09/2011 Aceptado: 26/03/2012 Abstract The art of shadow play theatre is unique. This research is encouraged by the existence of shadow play which is loaded with important symbols and philosophy contained in it to formulate the direction and guidelines in human’s life. So, researchers who are interested in describing the value of the reviewed symbolism helped to preserve the cultural semiotics for shadow puppets as one of the legacy that ne- cessitate to be preserved by the young especially in Malay society. This study aims to describe the sym- bolic value of each form of engravings, symbols and puppets listed in the wayang kulit (shadow play) semiotics such as Gunungan (Pohon Beringin). Puppet characters design the semiotics review through qualitative descriptive method; researchers analyze data in the form of words and verbal statement of the observed behaviour of informants as well as documents related to wayang puppetry semiotics. Therefore, this research will hopefully provide more depth into aesthetic world of shadow play puppetry and give impact towards the Malay society since this art is starting to extinct due to new media technology exis- tence and unpopularity of shadow play among young generations. Keywords: Shadow Play, Symbols, Wayang Kulit, Malay, Semiotics, Puppetry Estudio semiótico del Teatro Wayang Kulit en la cultura de la sociedad malaya Resumen El arte del teatro de sombras es único, rico en símbolos substanciales y con una filosofía que contiene directrices en la vida humana.
