REACH : Where "INDIAN HERITAGE REVIVAL" is the Mantra !

Today I would like to share with you all, information about a Dedicated Organization formed with a dedicated goal of not only preserving our heritage but also informing us all on how to carry forward the gift of our ancestors forward.

REACH is involved in lot of great works including renovation work at Kailasanatha Temple Uttaramerur and Varadharajan Temple at Kanchipuram.Headed by Great Person like Mr Satyamurthy (Ex- ASI Chief, Southern Region), the group is proactive in its methods which enable it to find places which are remotest of remote. The like minded members of the groups are its major strength and act as a source of inspiration for many like us.

One thing I like the most about the Organization is that REACH makes learning about the past an enjoyable experience by combining the Stalwarts from the respective fields like Epigraphy using innovative means like Field Trips and Seminars. The regular course in Epigraphy is one of REACH's famous activities.

Instead me commenting more on them , I would like you all to see the work Done by the Group which shows their Dedication and Spirit.

Hesaraghatta Grasslands : Savannah of Bangalore

While attending a photography workshop by famous photographer Mahesh Bhat (www.Maheshbhat.com) recently , I came across one of the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. The place is a breeding ground for some migratory birds of prey from Central Asia like Brahmani Kite. This place is also home to the endangered primate Slender Loris.

It is surprising to note that there are so many hidden gems near us waiting to be explored. So What are you waiting for , pack your backs (don't forget your camera) and get going !!!

The place needs conservation and our attention as the possibility of it becoming a victim of Blind "Development" that is plaguing the Bangalore is looming large.

Lets hope that this unique place remains the same for the times to come.

I have shared different facets of the place for you to enjoy !!!

Other Places to visit:
  • Hessarghatta Lake: is a favorite spot for Bird Watchers. It was once a major source of Water for Bangalore.
  • Nrityagram: This "Village" of Dance is worth a visit for Classical Dance Lovers.
