Divyanka Tripathi of Banoo main teri dulhan (Zee TV) was having a great time at her hometown, Bhopal during the strike. She says she loves her hometown and loves sharing more and more information about it. She told us about the top five 'must see' places in the city.
1) Kaliasoth Dam- It is the one of my favourite places, one because it's close by to where I live and secondly because it has an amazing natural beauty. There's also a small shiv mandir right at the middle of the dam which gets completely submerged in water and only its tomb can be seen. There is another dam called Bhadwara dam and there's a dense forest which connects the two. The drive from Kaliasoth to Bhadwara is just mindblowing, especially during the rains.
2) Bhojpur's Shiv mandir- The temple is a very ancient one situated in the outskirts of Bhopal. It is said that this temple was been made by the Pandavas, Bheema specially got all the huge stones of which this is made. One unique feature about this temple is that its top could never be built, whenever anyone tries to make it, it breaks by some or the other way.
3) Bhopal's Upper Lake- This beautiful lake lies in old Bhopal. It was made 200-300 years back and is famous of fishing and sight seeing. This man made lake is very large (sometimes you can't even see other bank) supplies water to the whole city. It's beautiful and famous because of its beauty; there's a small island in the middle of the lake and a small mosque in between that. Other thing is that only rowing boats go there, you can't use ferries to get there.
4) Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (Human museum) - It's an open and a very large museum placed in Shamla hills. The specialty about this museum is that it depicts human civilization; where you can see dummy of different states which are built by specially the natives of that particular place. The museum is surrounded by greenery all over with a beautiful natural surrounding. There are raths where 50 people can accommodate easily
5) Tajul Masjid- It is Asia's largest mosque and lies in the old city of Bhopal. It was built by Shah Jahan. It is worth visiting as its one of its kind.
"Monsoons mein Bhopal jannat hai!!!" praises the beautiful actress.
