Last week I have gone to Raipur. My trip was very good. We have returned to Indore on Monday, 17th October 2005. It was hectic but fun packed. Few unplanned things happened but we enjoyed that.
* On 12th October 2005, we have reached Raipur in the afternoon. After a heavy lunch we had a little nap in the afternoon. In the evening mummy papa have gone to see dassehera and I and Rohita went to roam about in Raipur. I have seen her school, her father's office etc.
* On 12th night we left Raipur and reached Jagdalpur on 13th Morning. As planned Jagdalpur was one day trip. But we stayed there for 2 days. Because Prakash Chacha insisted a lot. We stayed at Prakash Chacha's home. On 13th we went to Chitrakot( Not chitrakut, chitrakut is different) At Chitrakot there is a very beautiful waterfall. We enjoyed there. On our way back there was little raining. We enjoyed that also. Dassehera is very very special in Bastar. Even CM of Chhatisgarh goes to Jagdalpur to attend the functions. 13th was also Dassehera( for your information Dassehera is celebrated on 12th somewhere and on 13th other places). So we went to attend a very famous function of "Rath Churana" of Jagdalpur. Aadivasis used to build a very big and beautiful Rath(Chariot) . They build it using wooden logs. But they don't use a single Screw, nut or iron nail. Everything using wood. There is a very long story which even I don't know fully about Rath Churana. Devi used to steal Rath from Palace, aadivasi search it and then return it to palace blah blah blah....It was very fun filled.
Then we went to Rohita's Bade Papa's house.
* On 14th we went to Tirathgarh. There also it is a very beautiful waterfall. in the evening shopping by Chachachi and dinner(it was lunch but we reached there at 7 pm for lunch so it turned out to be dinner) at bade papa's house
On 15th we returned to Raipur. We went to Nagpura(not Nagpur in maharashtra). It is near Bhilai and is Swetambar Jain Tirtha. On the way back we went to Peeyush's house in Bhilai. Peeyush is my college friend. In the evening Pizza's at 2 restaurants in Raipur.
* On 16th we have to go to several relatives in Raipur. Since we had 1 day less as compared to planned days it was very hectic. Many places we had stayed only for short time. After that Lunch at One of the friend of my father - in - law. We did shopping also. But sab kuch itna fast aur itna jaldi hua ki baaap re baap. Hum jab station pahuche train aa chuki thi aur aaye hue bahut time ho gaya tha
Overall it was a very good experience.
