Gangolihat is a small Himalayan hill town in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India. It is tehsil and sub divisional headquarters of the district. Gangolihat is famous for its Shakti Peethas of Hat Kalika of goddess Kali. Nearby at 'Patal Bhubneshwar', underground caves are major tourist attraction. Also nearby are the tiny hill stations of Chaukori and Berinag.From Gangolihat Panchchuli peaks and Nanda Devi are clearly visible.
Gangolihat is located at
29.48°N 80.05°E. It has an average elevation of 1,760 metres (5,773 feet). It is 78 km from Pithoragarh. The main town is at a hill top. The region is surrounded by two rivers Saryu and Ramganga. Which meet at Ghat at the foothill of the region. These two rivers make it like a Garland on the shoulders of mighty Himalaya. These two rivers gave the name to the region Gang (River in local dialect) + Awali (Garland) making Gangawali. Which became Gangoli later on. and Hat were the main markets/ gathering place for local people in past. Which made the name of Gangolihat.
Gangolihat is native of Pant Brahmins mainly. Along with Pant's, Joshi's, Upreti's, Pathak's, Mahar's, Negi's, Bisht, Rawal's, Verma's, Shah and Aryas are other major surnames found.
Gangolihaat is famous for its ancient temples and underground caves. 'Haat Kalika', 'Ambika Dewaal', 'Chamunda Mandir', 'Vaishnavi Mandir' are some of the famous temples here. 'Vaishnavi Mandir' is a special one because from here one can clearly view the Himalayas. This temple is situated on a mountain that is called 'Shail Parvat', which is notable in Hindu holy books.
There are many beautiful underground caves in Gangolihaat. 'Patal Bhuvneshwar', 'Shailashwer Gufa' and 'Mukteshwar Gufa' are most notable ones. A new underground cave has been also found recently and that is called 'Bholeshwar Gufa'.
'Haat Kalika Mandir' was chosen by Adi Guru Sankaracharya for installation of Mahakali Shaktipeeth. It is believed that the Original Goddes Kalika Mata, which supposed to be in West Bangal, shifted her place form Bangal to Gangolihat. This Temple is very famous all over the India, specially among Indian Armed Forces. Posthumous Param Veer Chakra award winner Capt. Bikram Batra was a great devotee of Goddess. The goddess Mahakali is the designated goddess of brave Kumaun Regiment which proved its unmatched bravery and patriotism during all major wars fought by India. Kumaun regiment has created an Army Rest House near the Temple for Army Personnel, who come Gangloihat to get the blessing of Goddess.
There are historical monuments made during 8-11th century near the famous temple. Which is a site preserved by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). It depicts the nervelessness of the artistic creation at that time.
The highest peak in the range, Lankeshwar is a great picnic place. The view of greenery rich valleys of Kumaun Himalayas from this hilltop is memorable and heavenly.

Plasencia è un comune spagnolo di 36.690 abitanti situato nella comunità autonoma dell'Estremadura in provincia di Cáceres. È una città fortificata su una collina a destra del fiume Jerte ai confini fra Estremadura e Castiglia sulla Ruta de la Plata, antico itinerario in cui scorre il fiume Ambroz affluente del Tago, separazione naturale fra le montagne delle Sierra de Tormantos e di Tras la Sierra. È capoluogo della comarca più meridionale della provincia di Cáceres. È sede vescovile e conserva diversi monumenti medioevali e rinascimentali.
La cattedrale di Plasencia è costituita da due edifici. Uno è la Cattedrale Vecchia, in stile di transizione dal romanico al gotico, la cui costruzione venne cominciata nel XIII secolo. I resti di questa primitiva chiesa corrispondono alla navata, alla facciata occidentale, al chiostro, in stile gotico e alla sala capitolare, sovrastata da una cupola a spicchi, tipica della tradizione bizantina. La costruzione della Cattedrale Nuova, in stile gotico, venne cominciata nel XV secolo. Presenta alte volte, che poggiano su pilastri a fascio. La pala d’altare maggiore, con sculture di Gregorio Fernández e pitture di Francisco Ricci, è del XVII secolo. All’interno della chiesa spiccano gli stalli del coro, in stile gotico fiammeggiante di transizione al plateresco. La Cattedrale Vecchia ospita oggi il museo della cattedrale.

The tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is a perennial and night-blooming plant ... hence the Bengali / Hindi name is "Rajnigandha" 'Rajini' means night and 'Gandha', the one that has a sweet fragrance.

Just one of the billions of photos they made me take that day. It was fun though! Vivitar 285hv bounced off roof.
Met Bert and his wife Marie at a Community Center as I was charging up my electronics (cell phone, camera and laptop) due to storm SANDY.
I wish I knew how to play Chess...I would have joined him in the game.
