This pleasant view we got to see while entering the Jungle , Tree of "Kesudo"(Butea monosperma L.) , was ready to welcome us :D, showering its flower on earth to make the perfect red carpet welcome :) .
Near the stream in the Jungle- they told us to do not move out of car near stream, coz it has the most probability to have lions around there ,visiting to drink water. Still we dared to move out :D.
Inside Jungle - Moglee and Radha....:)) .I loved watching "Jungle book" series as a kid... no still i love to watch it :D, and so does hubby :) . sharing our pics for the first time here on blog .
this is "Shilalekh" at the foot of Girnar entrance. King Ashoka is famous with this. it is an edict of Emperor Ashok inscribed on a rock dating from the 3rd century BC. The edicts impart moral instructions on dharma, harmony, tolerance, and peace. i have got its translations in to english captured in pics with me, if intrested in readin/knowing it, tel me , may be i will send that to intrested people. its too much to post around here.
The fact behind "Shilalekh- documents written on rock". click to view it in larger size.
Mount Girnar- they says viewing from side it creates a shape of face of a man. its as whole body , rest of the body is inside earth ...now Next are some "Jadibuti"- aryuvedic medicines(aushadhi) , from the the Jungle of Junagadh. we got very few of them , as we visited here in fall, raining season is the right time to get most of them in jungle. (it was agood chace to try my hand on photography too :D. )
Maalan
Chanothi and above this pic is tree of chanothi
something used for detnal problems...
Shemdo
At place called -Ooperkot. behind ours is mount girnar , visible clear and so peaceful...See , how I am going with photography..... :) .
Its too hard to capture bird in camera, as far as it concerns to peacock its almost impossible as i see that they are very sensitive to other voices and soon hide themsleves in some safe area, if we pass from near by... still i got to click some pic of it. 
this lovely pair of parrot, i cant resist capturing in my cam ,and sharing here with you all. aren't they lovely?
this lovely pair of parrot, i cant resist capturing in my cam ,and sharing here with you all. aren't they lovely?

Gr88 gr88...
First of all thanks a lot for the efforts you have taken to sort, edit and manage the pictures. Also the text you have arranged for description is splendid. You really bring me back to the jungle of "Junagadh" wherein I spent the whole day with you exploring the things.
I still remember the thrill that we he had while traversing the jungle, the fear of wild animal, finding the paths and hope of meeting some mysterious saint :). Let me add something here and Pooja please correct me if I am wrong. The flower you posted is called "Malan", whenever in spring this flower blossom, every corner of the jungle get fragranced.
Don't remember the name for second one, but it is used for all dental problems. The third one is called "Ankole" plant. This is really mysterious plant, it is written in Tantra that our ancient "Rushis" use to make oil (there was a special process for that) from these leaves which make humans invisible (change the resonance frequency of our body cells).
The third one (cherry shaped) I don't remember :(. The fourth one seems like "Jaljamni", which is used to condense the water to ice (am I right Pooja, may be I am wrong, bit confused).
The fifth one is "Shemla", I forget what it is used for.
I will stop here. Rest, once we meet. Thank you.
Oh my my.... Look who is here to comment :) ! . I am pleasantly surprised to see your comment here . thanks honey for your compliments . :D .
now with jadibuti(s) ... second one is something else , its the fifthone which use for dental problems..third one is the pic of the tree of "Chanothi" ,forth one is the pic of chanothi after we open it...and the last one the picture of "Shemdo"- used to make GULKAND.. remember that? don't worry i am always here to fill the missing part of you :).
btw, where are you ? i am waiting for you on skype and found u here, if you are soemwhere on my blog still , come on skype :D. many things to talk with you...
Pooja, thought you haven't been posting - what do I see but your pix with you in them as soon as I open your blog!
I know those red and black seeds, we call them 'gurivinda' in Telugu, they are supposed to be poisonous - as kids, we had a few in our 'treasure box'
Hey I am sorry, my counting mistake. When I said fifth its sixth, and when I said fourth its actually fifth.
Also I mistaken the "Chanothi" with "Ankole", coz we also brought the Ankole with us.
Any how thanks for the gr88 information.
TTYL.
hey pooja, lovely junagadh pics you have there! looks like you guys really had a great time, hopefully did not encounter any lions ha!ha! tari badhi photo joee, lageyche tame junagadh ma bau maja kari.
Sra,
we call the red and black seeds- "chanothi" . in out childhood days we used to keep it in our piggy banks, with belief that it will help our piggy bank grow soon :)). As fas as i remember when not mature , it works as a medicine for "Masudo ke Problems" :), but afcourse after some processing. The picture here is of mature one, dont know if it turns posionous after then .
Deepak,
i thought so that u skipped one picture there. the fifthe one here is ankole, used for dental problem, for "Motiyon Jaise Daant " :D . take care.
Richa,

Supriya,
thanks girl.give us also sometime chance to see you :). no need to say you are just like me :D. there are many more pics i have, but kept it limited to share here. its really plenty of... about ooperkot(some says upetkot too- i find it wrong :)) ) , is a name of whole area which itself has fort,garderns,a famour "adichadi ni vav", a well known as "navghan kuo". the fort stands upon a plateau. right now there is a Masjid, which was built by using the remains of the destroyed Ranakdevi Mahal and Tomb of Nuri Shah. the picture here is of terrace part of Rankadevi mahal, not too big but in tha ttimes it used to be a Mahal. its just a construction of huge pillers and stones now, left to see us. It was built by Chandragupta Maurya in 319 BC. It has an extensively carved and decorated triple gateway and was a stronghold of the Mauryas as well as the Gupta Kings. It has been attacked at least 16 times and one of the times the attack continued for a period of 12 years. It is said to have remained abandoned for about 300 years from the 7th to the 10th century AD. in all its a istorical place ,worth visiting if one is intrested in such things. i love this kinda palces a lot, and so does hubby, so we had a great fun to gether there. will let you know if i will plan to post some more pics, as for now this is all.:D.
stay tuned. hows new sr.s/w engg doing? :) .

Hi,
It was gr8 to see some interesting pictures of places in Junagadh. I visited Junagadh in 2008 and have clicked some pictures of places, where I spent my school days between 1948-1961. I would like to post them. I would like to post them for the people who are interested to view them. I do not want to post them on facebook as it is more general place.
Any suggestions?
