থোকা গোলাপ ফুল (A BUNCH OF ROSES IN OUR GARDEN IN LUMDING)

আমাদের বাড়ীতে এক  থোকা গোলাপ ফুলের গাছ ছিল । গত বছর গাছটা হতাৎ করে মরে গেছে ।

AFTER A BRIEF SHOWER

The day before

  

That day I couldn't sleep at all. Next day, my wife would have to be on the operation table to give birth our son Subhangam as the third member of our own universe. I was very restless, on the clock it was ten past 4 O'clock and the skyline of Assam and Northeast India became clear as the dawn breaks in. After a spell of heavy rainfall, it was just drizzling and the weather was perfect to have a quick stroll around. Amazingly, I have found several flowers in our garden trying to keep droplets of water on their petals. I immediately brought out my wife's mobile and tried to catch the scene digitally.

Photographs From Lumding

	লামডিং  কালীবাড়ি; সাথে হিন্দু মিলন মন্দির । যখন আমি স্কুলে পড়তাম সবাই মিলে  প্রায় সময়েই কালীবাড়ি ঘুরতে আসতাম । এখনো সেইদিন গুলির কথা খুব মনে পরে । পুচকো, আমি আর আমাদের ক্লাসের আরো তিন চারজন মিলে একসময় কালীবাড়ির আশেপাশে খুব আড্ডা মারতাম । সেই দিনগুলির কথা এখনো মনে আছে ।
জায়গা টা আমাদের বাড়ির পাশেই । বি এম বি স্কুলের সামনে যে রাস্তাটি লেভেল ক্রসিং এর দিকে যাই সেই রাস্তাটির ফটো । পাশ দিয়ে জন শতাব্দী ট্রেন যাচ্ছে । আর আকাশে চলছে মেঘ আর সূর্যর লুকোচুরি খেলা ।
	রেলপথে লামডিং যাওয়ার পথে এক দৃশ্য । এক ঝিলের ধারে একজন মানুষ হাথ পা ধুচ্ছেন আর অন্যদিকে গরু একমনে ঘাস খেয়ে চলছে । সবুজে ভরা এক মনোরম  দৃশ্য । ছবিটাকে না তুলে থাকতে পারলাম না ।
লালে ভরে গেছে আমাদের বাড়ির বাগান । আমি তখন বাড়িতে গরমের ছুটিতে বেড়াতে গেছি । এতো দারুন লাগছিলো দেখতে, তাড়াতাড়ি ছবিটাকে তুলে নিলাম ।

The Kamakhya Temple is one of the most well-known Shakti shrines in India. The temple is located in Assam, India on the Nilachal Hill. It is the primary temple in a group of other temples that are dedicated to the mother goddess. It stands as a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus and serves as a center for Tantric and Shakti practices and worship. The original temple was built by Chilarai, a member of the Koch dynasty, in 1565. After being destroyed, it was rebuilt by King Nara Narayana in the 1600s. It has a beehive shaped, domed roof that features sculptured panels and images of Hindu gods and goddesses. The temple features decorated stone caves with natural springs flowing through them which keep the decorated stone moist. A legend involving the deities Shiva and Daksha Yagna is associated with the temple. Each year, thousands of Tantra worshipers gather at Kamakhya Temple for festivals.



The three day festival, Durga Puja, is celebrated during September and October. During the fertility festival, Ambuvaci, the temple closes for three days and opens on day four with a large celebration.

Kamakhya Temple is one amongst the holiest shrines throughout India. Perched on Nilanchal Hill in Kamrup district of Assam, Kamakhya Mandir is easily accessible at a stretch of 8 kms from Guwahati. The temple commemorates Hindu Goddess Sati in her aspect of Kamakhya Devi. Goddess Kamakhya is also known as Sodashi in the local region.
