No revolution in the world succeeds without the support of literature of that time.
What Gandhi was to political and SC Bose to militant aspects, Ramdhari Singh Dinkar was to literary aspects of freedom movement. His pen lent strength to an India in making, peasant struggles+

ЁЯенDudhia Malda Mango
Grown in Digha Ghat Region of Bihar. It's called Dudhiya because once the skin of the mango is scratched, milk like liquid oozes out.
Completed Pind Daan in the auspicious Gaya. Sharing my thoughts, experiences.
- Gaya Railway station is world class. Well connected. Clean. But if you are coming via Ayodhya, pls note that trains can be late (Vande Bharat & Aastha getting preference). Plan accordingly. I love train journey.
- Gaya Airport is well connected as well. Note that Gaya Airport is located between Gaya city & Bodh Gaya.
Tip - If you have an evening flight back home, you can visit Bodh Gaya in the morning and then get dropped in airport directly.
- The most impressive thing in Gaya is that most public vehicles are electric. тВ╣10 per person for most distances. Keep cash handy. I love the people, very simple, hard working. They value money.
- UPI works in all shops & restaurants. We used cash only for travel within the city.
- Pind Daan is done in Vishnupad temple, Sita Kund & also in Bodh Gaya temple. Each process has different mantras and done with different materials. You can book your Pooja online or even come here a day earlier & book. Multiple options, so don't worry.
Note: My wife did Pind daan for all her ancestors (her parents are still alive). We must thank our ancestors, don't miss it friends.
- Vishnupad temple has idols as ancient as 9th century. Very powerful, pls take time and visit.
- Try to stay in Gautam Buddha (GB) road, well connected to all places. We stayed in Aryavarta & White Lotus, both wonderful properties (тВ╣2500 to 4000 per night)
- Must try sweets - Tilkut, Khaaja, Anarsa. Litti chokha is famous here. Pramod Laddu Bhandar is famous here, don't miss.
- Bodh Gaya is beautiful, worth going. The Temple, 7 Places where Buddha meditated, and the Bodhi Tree is serene.
We went from Gaya to Bodh Gaya in a scorpio (9 seater) for тВ╣1600 up and down. Electric vehicles will come for тВ╣500-700 (4 seater). Pls take a guide there. Pay тВ╣200 to 400, totally worth.
- All purohits ask for dakshina all across Gaya (a curse of Sita) so just keep walking and enjoy the darshan. Try to read the story of Sita's curse to understand context.
https://t.co/zCMAFvgrQn (Religious Significance)
- There is a Akshaya Vat tree, very ancient, powerful. Pls visit.
- Must visit - Vishnupad, Sita Kund, Ram Kund, Bodhi Temple. There are mobile phone lockers in Vishnupad and Bodhi Temple. Rest places you can take electronic devices. Bodhi temple doesnt allow Smart watches even ЁЯСН
- Zomato is a lifeline here. I feel all restaurants are their own cloud kitchens with different names ЁЯША So same menu in most restaurants ЁЯШЖ
Bihar is such a wonderful state, but politicians have exploited to the maximum. Lots of work to be done. Hope to see religious tourism bringing development moving ahead. Must happen.
Friends. Definitely travel to Gaya sometime. Connect with your ancestors and thank them. You are what you are, thanks to them.
Share this post with all, if it helped you. Especially to your parents and loved ones.
We will plan for Nalanda & Rajgir in next visit.
Love,
