Gurudwara Bangla Sahib; (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂਦਵਾਰਾ ਬੰਗਲਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ) is one of the most prominent Sikh gurdwara, or Sikh house of worship, in Delhi, India and known for its association with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, as well as the pool inside its complex, known as the "Sarovar." It was first built as a small temple by Sikh General Sardar Bhagel Singh in 1783, who supervised the construction of nine Sikh shrines in Delhi in the same year, during the reign of Mughal Emperor, Shah Alam II.
It is situated near Connaught Place, New Delhi on Baba Kharak Singh Marg and it is instantly recognisable by its golden dome and tall flagpole, Nishan Sahib. Located next to it is the Sacred Heart Cathedral.
HISTORY
Gurdwara Bangla Sahib was originally a bungalow belonging to Raja Jai Singh, an Indian ruler in the seventeenth century, and was known as Jaisinghpura Palace, in Jaisingh Pura, an historic neighbourhood demolished to make way for the Connaught Place, shopping district.
The eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan resided here during his stay in Delhi in 1664. During that time, there was a smallpox and cholera epidemic, and Guru Har Krishan helped the suffering by giving aid and fresh water from the well at this house. Soon he too contracted the illness and eventually died on March 30, 1664. A small tank was later constructed by Raja Jai Singh over the well, its water is now revered as having healing properties and is taken by Sikhs throughout the world back to their homes.
The Gurdwara and its Sarovar are now a place of great reverence for Sikhs, and a place for special congregation on birth anniversary of Guru Har Krishan.
OVERVIEW
The grounds include the Gurudwara, a kitchen, a large (holy) pond, a school and an art gallery. As with all Sikh Gurdwaras, the concept of langar is practiced, and all people, regardless of race or religion may eat in the Gurdwara kitchen (langar hall). The Langar (food) is prepared by gursikhs who work there and also by volunteers who like to help out. At the Gurdwara, visitors are requested to cover their hair and not to wear shoes. Assistance to foreigners and visitors with Guides, head scarves, and shoe-minding service can be found inside the compound and are available free of charge. Anyone can volunteer to help keep the shoes in the shoe-minding room, and cleaning the precincts of the Gurudwara.
The complex also houses a higher secondary school, Baba Baghel Singh Museum, a library and a hospital. AirConditioning has been done inside the Gurudwara and also for the Langar Hall. A new "Yatri Niwas", and multi-level parking space have been constructed. A toilet complex is also constructed. The space around the back entrance to the Gurudwara is also being spruced up, so as to give a better view from the roadside.
The Bangla Sahib Gurudwara complex has appeared in several literary works.

I had a downtown meeting yesterday afternoon, so I took along my camera and shot a few photographs of the Capitol Complex.
Michigan's government is scattered all over the state, and I work in a rural office complex, but the heart of everything is here--anchored on one end by the Capitol Building, and on the other by the Hall of Justice. Between those large buildings are a bunch of quite substantial office buildings.

This is the Philae Temple Complex, located on Agilkia Island, though it was originally located on Philae Island at Aswan in Upper Egypt. Constructed between 380 and 362 BC under Nectanebo I of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the primary temple structure of the complex was built to honor Isis, the mother goddess and most important female deity in the Ancient Egyptian religion. The temple also gained quite a few smaller temples dedicated to various deities, including Hathor, and it is believed that the site was the last active Ancient Egyptian religious site after all pagan religious practices were banned by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, in favor of Christianity, with the last known Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic carving being found at the site, dating to the late 4th Century. In 537 AD, religious ceremonies were halted at the site by the local commander, and the structure then became the Church of St. Stephen, with many of the carved reliefs being vandalized and the stone columns and walls having carvings of crosses and other religious symbols being added, while the temple structure itself remained largely intact for over a millennia. The temple complex includes the Vestibule of Hadrian, a tall Roman-era structure, and several Ptolemaic-era column capitals that were never completed, and remain in an unfinished state. The temple attracted a lot of attention in the 19th Century due to its picturesque location, immaculate state of preservation, and lack of sediments or debris obscuring the structure. The darkest period in the structure’s history began in 1902, when the British government, which controlled Egypt at the time, constructed the Aswan Low Dam on the Nile River, with the water level behind the dam rising up over the base of the temple, damaging the structure. The dam was raised twice, further covering more of the structure and leading to yet more damage. When the Aswan High Dam was under construction in the 1960s, UNESCO stepped in and moved the temple to higher ground, rescuing it from its watery grave.
Construction on the new home of Installation Management command at Fort Sam Houston is nearly complete. It is located in a former regimental complex with the old barracks being converted in to offices. The headquarters staff is in a new building on the old parade field. Much of the character of the old buildings remain, including the original exterior facades and verandas.

The Bacardi Complex in was constructed in 1963 and served as the first United States headquarters for the Bacardi corporation, a Cuban company notable for its rum. The Bacardi complex consists of two prominent buildings, the main tower and the Bacardi Imports Administration Annex building that was completed in 1973. The buildings are iconic examples of mid-century modern International-style architecture, notable for their uses of steel and glass, each featuring imaginative cantilevered overhangs as the bulk of the building. They are each emblazoned with artistic products, with the tower decorated with over 28,000 azulejo tiles painted and assembled by Brazilian artist Francisco Brennand. The Annex building’s four walls are entirely defined by stained-glass windows manufactured by French artists Gabriel and Jacques Loire based upon a painting by German artist Johannes Dietz. The buildings are notable for the way they embrace international influences within architecture and art to create visually impressive works.
Since the establishment of the company in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba, the business has successfully expanded the branding, production, and headquarter sites outside of Cuba. Bacardi’s buildings in Miami have aimed to create and promote a visual identity for the corporation, one which is simultaneously past and forward-looking, with an appreciation of the natural and the man-made. Bacardi’s buildings are attempts to express concepts larger than mere business, combining art and architecture to tell a larger story.

This Week in Bristol Indiana - 3-10-18. The town of Bristol was startled by an enormous explosion shortly after 10 am on Friday, March 9, 2018. There was an explosion and fire in a trash truck at Bristol Elementary School which destroyed the truck and singed a wall. No one was hurt in the explosion, and no children were harmed. A person who was in the rear of the school at the time said it appeared most of the force of the explosion was outward toward the town, rather than inside the school, and that the incident is being investigated by the ATF and Homeland Security. A town meeting was held at Bristol United Methodist Church (BUMC) on Thursday, March 8, 2018 to reveal the plans for the new $3-million municipal complex in Bristol to triple the space for the Town Hall and Police Dept. It will be an addition to the existing 1914 Town Hall. For those who missed that meeting, another will be held on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at BUMC at 7pm. Please use North entrance. While water has receded in some places, Hermance Park is still underwater, and no Pavilion rentals or activities will be considered until cleanup likely sometime in April, 2018.

Journée nationale du sport scolaire : déplacement de Jean-Michel BLANQUER et Roxana MARACINEANU au complexe sportif Jules Ladoumègue - Paris 19ème
Mercredi 25 septembre 2019
———
Jean-Michel BLANQUER, ministre de l’Éducation nationale et de la Jeunesse, et Roxana MARACINEANU, ministre des Sports, se rendront mercredi 25 septembre au complexe sportif Jules Ladoumègue pour célébrer la 10ème Journée nationale du sport scolaire (JNSS).
Alors que l'année 2020 sera marquée par l'organisation des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques à Tokyo et des Jeux olympiques de la Jeunesse à Lausanne, la 10ème Journée nationale du sport scolaire, en tant que premier temps fort de l'année scolaire, mettra en valeur le thème de l'interculturalité. Parce qu'elle favorise l'universalité, le faire-ensemble, le partage de valeurs et de règles communes, et l'inclusion, la pratique sportive constitue une excellente occasion pour faire vivre l'interculturalité et valoriser la diversité culturelle.
La JNSS a pour objectif de mieux faire connaître et promouvoir les activités proposées par les associations et les fédérations sportives scolaires (UNSS, USEP et UGSEL) auprès des élèves, des équipes éducatives, des parents d'élèves, du monde sportif local et des collectivités territoriales. Ainsi, 1400 élèves des académies franciliennes seront pris en charge par l’UNSS pour réaliser plusieurs ateliers sportifs et de handisport.

Eskandar Prison is an ancient domed structure apparently known by this name as a result of a reference in a Hafez poem. The complex contains a deep, circular, brick-lined pit almost 10 meters in diameter resembling an ancient dungeon found at the heart of the old. There is also a well and some nooks in the courtyard. It is alleged by some to have been built by Alexander to hold his captives during his conquest of Persia and alleged by others to have been built by the Persians to hold Alexander himself. Whatever the true story, the complete complex itself is almost certainly a later construction.
The dome of Eskandar Prison is made of raw clay and is decorated with plaster works and golden and azure watercolor. The noteworthy architectural features of the dome are traceable in other domes dating to the Mongolian period in Iran. Each side of the domed tower is almost 9 meters long and it rises almost 18 meters tall. There is little left of the inscriptions inside the dome but from what remains it appears to be kufic writings. The material used in much of the building is clay, however, it has been restored with bricks in the past few decades. Some steep stairs lead the way down into the dungeon although nowadays it is a beautiful room decorated with tables and red carpets and serves is a tea house.
Eskandar Prison is currently advertised as been built as a mosque and Ziaiyeh religious school and to have no connection to Alexander (although the reference is believed to have come from Hafez’s poetry. The original purpose of the building is unknown but it now serves as an Ethnographic Museum. Inside there is a detailed scaled model of the old city and a collection of labeled archaeological artifacts that were dug up around the city. What really brings the museum to life however is the staff of traditionally trained artisans who are on hand to show off their skills by working the old wood framed looms and throwing clay pots to demonstrate the crafts that made the city famous throughout Persia and along the old Silk Road to China.
