The title is taken from Rudyard Kipling's story about the adventure of an Indian Gray Mongoose. This one took a glance at me and went about its adventure whatever that was. Seeing it I felt safe walking in the forest; I was sure all snakes went into hiding that morning. Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary, Kolkata, India.
Back to the starting point of this serial uploads showing counterclockwise the sites around Uchibori or the inner moat of Edo Castle. This photo was taken from the Kourai-mon (高麗門) of the gate, and the structure in the right is Yagura-mon (櫓門).
Tayasu-mon (田安門) is the northernmost gate of Edo Castle surrounded by Uchibori. It is functioning as the major entrance to Nihon Budoukan (日本武道館) and Kitanomaru Park. It was built in 1636 and underwent an overhaul in 1963 probably for Tokyo Olympic 1964. Budokan provided venue for Judo (柔道) for that Olympic.
Budokan was designed by Yamada Mamoru (山田守 1894-1966) who is known as a pioneer and a promoter of modern architecture in Japan. Budokan's octagonal design, however, was modelled after Yumedono (夢殿) in Hourtyuu-ji temple (法隆寺) in Nara, and the gold coloured object on the top is called Houju (宝珠 Chintamani) that is a traditional ornamentation for Buddhist architecture.
I feel it is like a post-modern architecture rather than a modern one. If it were a pure modern architecture, the contrast with Tayasu-mon would have been better.
Junagarh Fort is a fort in the city of Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. The fort was originally called Chintamani and was renamed Junagarh or "Old Fort" in the early 20th century when the ruling family moved to Lalgarh Palace outside the fort limits. It is one of the few major forts in Rajasthan which is not built on a hilltop. The modern city of Bikaner has developed around the fort.
The fort complex was built under the supervision of Karan Chand, the Prime Minister of Raja Rai Singh, the sixth ruler of Bikaner, who ruled from 1571 to 1611 AD. Construction of the walls and associated moat commenced in 1589 and was completed in 1594. It was built outside the original fort of the city, about 1.5 kilometres from the city centre. Some remnants of the old fort are preserved near the Lakshmi Narayan temple.
Historical records reveal that despite the repeated attacks by enemies to capture the fort, it was not taken, except for a lone one-day occupation by Kamran Mirza. Kamran was the second son of the Mughal Emperor Babur who attacked Bikaner in 1534, which was then ruled by Rao Jait Singh. In the battle, the Mughals were defeated by Rathors. Kamran then returned to Lahore.

If you would like to get a relief from the busy urban life in Kolkata, CKBS might be one of the best destinations for you.
Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary (CKBS) is situated at Narendrapur, 24Pgs (South), West Bengal, India. This is also known as Kayal’s Garden. This 54 bighas land is famous for its natural forestry and availability of a wide variety of birds, reptiles, butterflies, ferns and orchids. This is only 14 kms from the heart of Kolkata.

The original painting (White Stone. Chintamani sign or the Horse of Happiness, 1933) is by one of my favorite artists - Nicholas Roerich. He was the patriarch of a very talented family of artists who left a lasting cultural legacy. He founded a new Buddhist school and was nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize. He initiated the very first international pact for the protection of cultural values (aka Roerich Pact). A prolific painter, he created over 7000 paintings and is best known for his depictions of the Himalayas.

It is one of the few major forts in Rajasthan which is not built on a hilltop. The modern city of Bikaner has developed around the fort.
The fort complex was built under the supervision of Karan Chand, the Prime Minister of Raja Rai Singh, the sixth ruler of Bikaner, who ruled from 1571 to 1611 AD. Construction of the walls and associated moat commenced in 1589 and was completed in 1594. It was built outside the original fort of the city, about 1.5 kilometres from the city centre. Some remnants of the old fort are preserved near the Lakshmi Narayan temple.
Historical records reveal that despite the repeated attacks by enemies to capture the fort, it was not taken, except for a lone one-day occupation by Kamran Mirza. Kamran was the second son of the Mughal Emperor Babur who attacked Bikaner in 1534, which was then ruled by Rao Jait Singh. In the battle, the Mughals were defeated by Rathors. Kamran then returned to Lahore.
The 5.28 hectares large fort precinct is studded with palaces, temples and pavilions. These buildings depict a composite culture, manifest in the mix of architectural styles.
