Mehrangarh Fort (Hindi: मेहरानगढ़ का किला) (Sindhi: مهراڻ ڳڙهه‎), located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India. Built around 1460 by Rao Jodha, the fort is situated 125 m above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of cannonball hits by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort.

 

There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention it is very proudes for rao rajputs.

 

Rao is brahmbhatt jagirdar clan of rao jodha. Rao is rajputs and in gujarat they calls "barot" and rao saheb.

 

The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the most well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period rooms.

 

HISTORY OF MEHRANGARH

Rao Jodha, the chief of the Rathore clan, is credited with the origin of Jodhpur in India. He founded Jodhpur in 1459 (Jodhpur was previously known as Marwar). He was one of Ranmal's 24 sons became the fifteenth Rathore ruler. One year after his accession to the throne, Jodha decided to move his capital to the safer location of Jodhpur, as the one thousand years old Mandore fort was no longer considered to provide sufficient security.

 

With the trusted aid of Rao Nara (son of Rao Samra), the Mewar forces were subdued at Mandore. With that, Rao Jodha gave Rao Nara the title of Diwan. With the help of Rao Nara, the foundation of the fort was laid on 1/ May 1459 by Jodha on a rocky hill 9 kilometres to the south of Mandore. This hill was known as Bhaurcheeria, the mountain of birds. According to legend to build the fort he had to displace the hill's sole human occupant, a hermit called Cheeria Nathji, the lord of birds. Upset at being forced to move Cheeria Nathji cursed Rao Jodha with "Jodha! May your citadel ever suffer a scarcity of water!". Rao Jodha managed to appease the hermit by building a house and a temple in the fort very near the cave the hermit had used for meditation, though only to the extent that even today the area is plagued by a drought every 3 to 4 years. Jodha then took an extreme measure to ensure that the new site proved propitious; he buried a man called "Raja Ram Meghwal" alive in the foundations. "Raja Ram Meghwal" was promised that in return his family would be looked after by the Rathores. To this day his descendants still live in Raj Bagh, "Raja Ram Meghwal's" Garden, an estate bequeathed them by Jodha.

 

Mehrangarh (etymology: 'Mihir' (Sanskrit) -sun or Sun-deity; 'garh' (Sanskrit)-fort; i.e.'Sun-fort'); according to Rajasthani language pronunciation conventions,'Mihirgarh' has changed to 'Mehrangarh'; the Sun-deity has been the chief deity of the Rathore dynasty. Though the fortress was originally started in 1459 by Rao Jodha, founder of Jodhpur, most of the fort which stands today dates from the period of Jaswant Singh of Marwar (1638–78). The fort is located at the centre of the city spreading over 5 kilometres on top of a high hill. Its walls, which are up to 36 metres high and 21 metres wide, protect some of the most beautiful and historic palaces in Rajasthan.

 

Entry to the fort is gained though a series of seven gates. The most famous of the gates are:

 

- Jai Pol ("Gate of Victory"), built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1806 to celebrate his victory in a war with Jaipur and Bikaner.

- Fateh Pol, built to celebrate a victory over the Mughals in 1707;

- Dedh Kamgra Pol, which still bears the scars of bombardment by cannonballs;

- Loha Pol, which is the final gate into the main part of the fort complex. Immediately to the left are the handprints (sati marks) of the ranis who in 1843 immolated themselves on the funeral pyre of their husband, Maharaja Man Singh.

 

Within the fort are several brilliantly crafted and decorated palaces. These include, Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Sheesha Mahal (Mirror Palace), Sileh Khana and Daulat Khana. The museum houses a collection of palanquins, howdahs, royal cradles, miniatures, musical instruments, costumes and furniture. The ramparts of the fort house preserved old cannon (including the famous Kilkila), and provided a breath-taking view of the city.

 

GALLERIES IN MEHRANGARH MUSEUM

ELEPHANT´S HOWDAHS

The howdahs were a kind of two-compartment wooden seat (mostly covered with gold and silver embossed sheets), which were fastened onto the elephant's back. The front compartment, with more leg space and a raised protective metal sheet, was meant for kings or royalty, and the rear smaller one for a reliable bodyguard disguised as a fly-whisk attendant.

 

PALANQUINS

Palanquins were a popular means of travel and circumambulation for the ladies of the nobility up to the second quarter of the 20th century. They were also used by male nobility and royals on special occasions.

 

DAULAT KHANA - TREASURES OF MEHRANGARH MUSEUM

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN MEHRANGARH

NATIONAL GEOLOGICAL MONUMENT

The Jodhpur Group - Malani Igneous Suite Contact on which the Mehrangarh Fort has been built has been declared a National Geological Monument by the Geological Survey of India to encourage Geotourism in the country. This unique geological feature is part of the Malani Igenus Suite seen in the Thar desert region, spread over an area of 43,500 km2. This unique geological feature represents the last phase of igneous activity of Precambrian age in the Indian Subcontinent.

 

THE CHAMUNDA MATAJI TEMPLE

The Chamunda Mataji was Rao Jodha's favorite goddess, he brought her idol from the old capital of Mandore in 1460 and installed her in Mehrangarh (Maa Chamunda was the kul devi of Parihar rulers of Mandore). She remains the Maharaja's and the Royal Family's Isht Devi or adopted goddess and is worshipped by most of Jodhpur's citizens as well. Crowds throng Mehrangarh during the Dussehra celebrations.

 

2008 STAMPEDE

A human stampede occurred on 30 September 2008, at the Chamunda Devi temple inside of the Mehrangarh Fort, in which 249 people were killed and more than 400 injured.

 

CULTURE

The fort has musicians performing folk music at the entrance and houses museum, restaurants, exhibitions, and craft bazaars. The fort was one of the filming locations for the 2012 movie The Dark Knight Rises. Principal photography commenced on 6 May 2011.

 

In 2015, the fort was used to record a collaborative album by musicians including Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur, English composer and Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. The recording was the subject of a documentary, Junun, by the American directory Paul Thomas Anderson.

UNMISS Civil Affairs Division leads a conflict resolution roundtable discussion at the Gun cattle camp in Marial-bek, with support from the UNMISS Lakes State Coordinator's Office; Relief, Reintegration and Protection Office; Human Rights Division; Public Information Office; and the Nepalese Battalion, who provided force protection.

 

The group met with the Ruop section of the Agar clan of the Dinka tribe, who have been in conflict with the neighboring Kuei (also part of the Agar clan) since 2007. Since the inciting incident of their conflict, seven peace initiatives have been undertaken by the Ruop and Kuei communities. In line with the traditional justice system, blood compensation (a system which calls for financial reimbursement for those killed, usually paid to relatives of the victims) was paid each time. However, even when peace has been achieved, it has been broken, most often in instances of isolated killings fueled by revenge.

 

In recent clashes the Kuei have joined with the Pakam (another section of the Agar clan), also in conflict with the Ruop at various times, to fight against the Ruop. The most recent large clash occurred on March 15th near Marial-bek and left over 100 people dead. This was closely followed by a night-time killing within the Gun cattle camp carried out by the Pakam, which the Ruop responded to by ambushing the roads to Pakam.

 

The UNMISS Civil Affairs Division in Lakes State has been holding meetings with the various groups to hear their grievances and to discuss solutions to the cycle of violence. In this, their third visit to the Gun cattle camp, the primary purpose was to provide feedback from other consultations that have been undertaken with the Kuei and Pakam, as well as the with the government. The Ruop provided the Civil Affairs Divison with their own feedback as well, and suggested discussion items for future meetings.

Edward Bykowski leads pickets against Senator Theodore G. Bilbo outside Bilbo’s apartment at the Capitol Tower apartments at 208 Massachusetts Ave. NE, Washington, D.C. on October 15, 1945.

 

Bykowski was Navy veteran who was outraged by Bilbo’s attacks on African Americans, members of the Jewish faith, Italians and others and began a one man picket against Bilbo. Other veterans who had fought against the fascists during World War II quickly joined him.

 

Bykowski related in an interview that he was of Polish Catholic descent and that while under attack by the Japanese on the heavy cruiser Vincennes his left leg was fractured in four places.

 

Bykowski told about the action on the Vincennes when an African American shipmate, “…kept passing the ammunition with his right arm after the Japs [sic] blew off his left.”

 

“There was Danny Boy. He died in my arms His hand opened up. He had been clutching the six-point Start of David.”

 

“He [Bilbo] has abrogated everything that veterans have died for and suffered the agonies of hell for.”

 

The Senate eventually postponed seating Bilbo after the 1946 election and Bilbo died in August 1947.

The impressive eastern entrance leads steeply down through a dark, narrow gorge (in places only 3–4 m (9.8–13.1 ft) wide) called the Siq ("the shaft"), a natural geological feature formed from a deep split in the sandstone rocks and serving as a waterway flowing into Wadi Musa. At the end of the narrow gorge stands Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh (popularly known as "the Treasury"), hewn into the sandstone cliff. While remaining in remarkably preserved condition, the face of the structure is marked by hundreds of bullet holes made by the local Bedouin tribes that hoped to dislodge riches that were once rumored to be hidden within it.

First lady Michelle Obama leads a reenactment planting of a Cherry Blossom Tree on the 100th Anniversary of The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.

 

It was March 27, 1912, when First Lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador, planted the first two trees from Japan on the north bank of the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park.

 

For the March 27th 2012 planting First Lady Michelle Obama planted her tree in West Potomac Park, the closest cross streets to this planting location would be Ohio Drive SW at West Basin Drive SW.

 

Remarks by the First Lady at the National Cherry Blossom Festival Centennial Tree Planting Ceremony

 

Tidal Basin

Washington, D.C.

  

11:22 A.M. EDT

  

MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much, it is a true pleasure to be here on this beautiful, little chilly day. (Laughter.) We planned it. This is the only cold day of the week, and we are here. But I am pleased to be here.

 

I want to start by thanking Secretary Salazar for that very kind introduction, and for all of his outstanding work as Secretary of the Interior.

 

I want to thank and recognize Ambassador Fujisaki, as well as Mrs. Fujisaki, who are here today. Thank you all so much, I know you're here somewhere -- oh, you're here. (Laughter.) It's good to see you both. And I want to thank all of you for taking the time to join us for this historic event.

 

We have come together to celebrate these beautiful cherry blossom trees -- and yes, they were blooming last week. We were so close. (Laughter.) But I think the tree we're planting will -- still has a few blooms, but they are beautiful. And we are here to honor all that they stand for. For so many years, these trees have served as a symbol of the great friendship between the United States and Japan, and as a reminder of our shared hopes, dreams and aspirations.

 

People from both of our nations worked together for years to bring these trees here to Washington. And over the past century, people of all ages from the U.S. and Japan and so many other nations have come to this Tidal Basin each spring to marvel at their beauty. And year after year, even after the coldest, darkest, stormiest winters, these trees have continued to bloom.

 

So on this historic anniversary, we don’t just admire the beauty of these trees, we also admire their resilience. And in so doing, we are reminded of the extraordinary resilience of the Japanese people. Over the past year, we have all witnessed their courage, unity and grace as they have come together and begun the very hard work of rebuilding their nation.

 

And I think that that more than anything else is the lesson that we can learn from these trees. They teach us about all that we can achieve together. And because people from both of our nations came together, this landscape was transformed. And for one hundred years, people from every background and every walk of life have come here to experience, truly, the magic of these trees.

 

No matter who you are, their beauty stirs our souls. No matter where we’re from, being here among these beautiful blossoms truly lifts our spirits. And that is why we invited all of these wonderful children to join us -- where are the children? There they are. (Applause.) They are here because we want them to learn this lesson as well; we want to pass this lesson onto them. We want to teach them about the great partnership between our nations and what that means for our shared future. We want to teach them to appreciate and learn from the traditions and cultures of others.

 

And we want them to be inspired by the example of our friends in Japan who have worked so hard and who have been so brave in rebuilding their lives. Because in the end it will be up to them, this next generation, to continue that great friendship. It will be up to them to carry these traditions forward so that one hundred years from now, their children and grandchildren will be able to come here to this very spot and see the tree that we will plant, full grown and in full bloom.

 

And I hope that on that day, the First Lady –- or the First Gentleman –- of 2112 will also have the privilege of joining with our friends from Japan, and planting another tree which will bloom for yet another one hundred years and beyond.

 

So with that, I want to once again thank you all for joining us today, and bearing the frigid cold. If you stick around for one more day, it will be 80 tomorrow, I guarantee you. (Laughter.) It's really nice weather here. But we are truly honored to have you here, and it's a pleasure to be able to join in this very special occasion.

 

And with that, I think it is time for us to plant a tree. (Applause.)

This is the access road that leads off highway U.S. 2 on the west side of Stevens Pass and climbs to the Iron Goat Trail near the west portal of the original Cascade Tunnel. The Iron Goat Trail is a recreational trail that follows the old railroad grade that descends from the tunnel. This original railroad tunnel is at just over 3100 ft. above sea level, while the current railroad tunnel is fully 1000 feet lower.

 

The worst railroad disaster in United States history occurred above this area in 1910, when an avalanche swept two snow-stranded trains down the mountainside, with the death of 96 people. Here is a quite informative link related to the disaster: Wellington avalanche

Along the way, it passes the ages-long Position Lights that have guarded the diamond since the days of the Pennsy, when the line has seen better days. In recent times, however, traffic has picked up on the Fort Wayne Line thanks to cooperative efforts from CF&E and NS to upgrade the line. In addition to raising the limit to 50, NS also put up replacements at the diamond, which means the days of these PPLs are limited.

Local union President Mary Gannon leads the picket line April 8, 1947 at the C&P Telephone headquarters at 13th & G Streets NW on the second day of a nationwide strike against the Bell System by 325,000 phone workers.

 

Joseph A. Bierne [with hat], president of the National Telephone Traffic Union, walks the line behind her.

 

The union was seeking a nationwide contract.

 

The strike crippled long distance service and those phones not equipped with direct dial.

 

AT&T refused to negotiate a nationwide agreement and only offered a small wage increase after workers had been on strike for three weeks. Four weeks into the strike, 17 local unions had signed local agreements. The nationwide strike collapsed and it marked the end of the NFTW.

 

However, the Washington operators continued their strike until May 18, 1947, holding out for written guarantees that there would be no reprisals.

 

The strike, however, succeeded in making the case for a stronger national union, with the Washington traffic union one of those pushing hard.

 

In June 1947, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) was formed as a national union, incorporating most of the locals of the NFTW, including the D.C. unit. Similarly the union later voted to affiliate with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) with the support of the Washington unit in 1949.

 

Gannon’s militant leadership of the Washington Telephone Traffic Union helped galvanize other unions around the country as she led sympathy strikes in support of their issues in the mid 1940s..
