Deriving inspiration from Ekamravan which has been described in ancient texts as the Rasalila Kshetra of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the garden has three impressive platforms (Pindis) made out of laterite and sandstone, for Shiva, Parvati and their son Ganesha, with a mango tree, an amla tree and a bel tree at the centre of each platform, respectively.
A medicinal plant garden built at an estimated cost of Rs 96 lakh was inaugurated beside the Bindusagar lake today.
Ekamravan Mythological Medicinal Plant Garden has 206 species of herbal plants.
. “Even a stroll through this park would rejuvenate the mind and soul,”
Developed by the forest division, the garden embraces elements of Ekamrakshetra mentioned in Ekamrasamhita, Swarnadri and Mohadaya scriptures that were studied diligently before construction began in November 2006. The 180 plants mentioned in the Purans were placed appropriately in the garden.
Visitors to this park would be welcomed by three trees — the mango symbolising Shiv, the amla and bel symbolising Parvati and Ganesh, respectively. While the plants around the mango tree are general medicinal plants, those alongside amla and bel are exclusively meant for women and children. “The main trees would be fed with the water that will flow from the medicinal plant hedge adding to the nutrient value of the water,” explained Mishra.
The park also has two pools — one with lotus and another with water lily in it. The water would be from the Bindusagar Lake. It would also have a music corner — a platform —for programmes.
More than 100 artisans from Raghurajpur and Lalitgiri were hired to complete the work that ran for more than two years. “We have tried to stay true to the architecture of the old town area,” said Anupam Shah, the project director.
The few structures dotting the garden and its boundary wall are of sandstone and laterite — materials used for temples in the old town area of Bhubaneswar.
The boundary wall has carvings depicting Shiv’s stay at Ekamrakshetra.
The Ekamravan Medicinal Plant Garden Society maintains the garden, charging a nominal fee for entry. It also sells saplings of medicinal plants at its nursery.
On the morning of April 15, 1946, in the closing days of World War II, a Grumman TBF Avenger, assigned to the carrier USS Makassar Strait, was shot down off the coast of Ishigaki Island by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The three aviators parachuted in to the water near Ohama, and swam to a coral reef, where they were captured by Japanese sailors. After being interrogated and tortured, they were executed during the night at the feet of Mount Banna, at the Imperial Navy Headquarters. The torture of prisoners of war was a violation of the Geneva Convention, the rules of war signed by the international community in 1929. Vernon L. Tebo and Robert Tuggle, Jr. were beheaded. Waren H. Loyd was beaten and stabbed with bayonets by numerous numbers of sailors and soldiers. This incident was a tragedy which took place during war.

To console the spirits of the three fallen American servicemembers and to honor their deaths, we jointly dedicate this monument in the hope that this memorial stone will contribute to the everlasting peace and friendship between Japan and the United States, and that this monument will serve as a cornerstone to convey to future generations our keen desire for eternal peace in the world and our determination to renounce war.

Ven, corrígeme los besos y aprende de esta alma que divaga entre los sí y no.
Estoy ansiosa de tenerte, perderme y perder-te.
Una vez más caigo en el dialecto entre el amor y el olvido, y más que ayer (mucho más). Así que es el momento exacto para sacar de mis labios, la raíz del tormento mental.
Sacudirte con mis demonios, abrazar el corazón como un Sol sin llamas, crear lapsos de paréntesis en los cuales dejemos de existir para este mundo perceptible, hundirme en tus costillas y muchos textos más de los cuales nunca podría acabar, porque la imaginación da para demasiados colores. (Siempre lo quise hacer, porque sin conocerte- pude encontrarme en ti, adiós)
Walk.
As the people who adore you stop adoring you, as they die, as they move on, as you shed them, as you shed your beauty, your youth, as the world forgets you, as you recognise your transience, as you begin to lose your characteristics one by one, as you learn there is no-one watching you and there never was, you think only about driving - not coming from any place, not arriving at any place, just driving, counting off time. Now you are here, at 7:43. Now you are here, at 7:44. Now you are...
Gone.
Now it is waiting and nobody cares. And when your wait is over this room will still exist and it will continue to hold shoes and dresses and boxes and maybe someday another waiting person. And maybe not. The room doesn't care either.
It's always fascinating to find artefacts like this, they are like faint signals from the "other side" of the publishing process.

The artist writes, “Filming the demise of an iceberg is both exhilarating and sad. As we watch it sink lower and lower, and finally collapse, our reflections turn towards the implication of the loss of ice.”
Not to be recommended, but this man was managing it quite successfully nontheless. What I love about Asia is sights like this.

PUERTO GALERA, ORIENTAL MINDORO, PHILIPPINES
This coastal town is well known among tourists for its numerous pocket beaches and many snorkeling and diving spots. The area was designated a Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in 1973 and has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia. The marine environment has benefited in recent years from the influx of tourist dollars. This has seen a huge reduction in the number of fishermen in the area, as they gain higher revenue from tourists.
Among the famous beaches in Puerto Galera are Sabang Beach and White Beach. Both have extensive beaches with first-class or economy-class accommodations and an active night life with their numerous beach-side bars and restaurants. Sabang beach is the main destination for foreign tourists, while White Beach remains popular with local travelers. Since 2001 White beach has seen uncontrolled development. New restaurants and places to stay are rapidly encroaching on the beach itself and little remains of the once charming beach. Puerto Galera town is a pleasant but sleepy Philippine town with few attractions. It has a large central catholic church and a Pier area, with a selection of bistros and cafes.
Behind the beaches are the huge and generally unexplored mountain ranges of central Mindoro. A particular local attraction is the nine hole golf course perched on the hillside above White Beach which commands spectacular views over Puerto Galera's natural harbor and the Verde Island Passage. Mangyan tribes are scattered over the mountains sides - some of the more remote tribes have no contact with the outside world. Of the eight tribes on Mindoro, the Iraya are the largest. They are based in the Puerto Galera area.
Puerto Galera has become the top diving destination in the Philippines. Excellent diving is found less than 5 minutes from the Sabang area. The diving generally focuses around the areas either side of Escarceo Point which is famous for its current rips. Strong currents are a feature of the diving in Puerto Galera and it is good advice to employ the services of an experienced local guide or dive centre. There are upwards of thirty dive sites all within a 5-10 minute banca ride from Sabang Beach. Marine life is highly diverse. 180+ species of nudibranchs are found in the area and most species of fish can be seen A variety of wrecks have been sunk over the years in addition to the one genuine wreck of an engine of a WWII Japanese patrol boat.
Puerto Galera is also one of the main [technical diving]destinations in Asia. Technical Diving International - [TDI] has many dive centers in the area, offering the full range of TDI courses from Basic [nitrox] to advanced [trimix].
