Shree Vrindavan Sweets & Chaat (Patna) – Where I had the Best Jalebi & Puri-Sabzi

Shree Vrindavan Sweets & Chaat (Patna) where I had the best Jalebi & Puri-Sabzi.

It was delicious. Unmatched taste of the traditional Bihari breakfast.

Although they serve a wide variety of sweets too, their breakfast is a must-try.

It is the popular joint for breakfast in Dak Bunglow Road. The location is very convenient.

Just 50 meters from Exhibition Road Chauraha towards Dak Bunglow Chauraha.

I will recommend visiting this place early in the morning for a sumptuous breakfast before one starts a day in Patna.

Pure, Hygienic, Tasty, Yummy, and Lip-Licking.

Has sufficient parking space for two-wheelers.

One of the best places for having breakfast in Patna.

Hot Puri-Sabzi and Sweet Jalebi will make your day for sure. And the cost is pocket-friendly.

Rs. 8 Puri-Sabzi, Rs 12 stuffed Puri-Sabzi and Jalebi Rs. 200 per kg.

A quite small place but the sweets & snacks are very tasty. Great place to treat yourself. Overcrowded most of the time.

You can take away your order. We take it and enjoy the delicious Jalebi & Puri-Sabzi at our place.

A very old shop in Patna. Good food at a very low price to fill your empty stomach. It offers proper hygiene and is clean.

A place where one loves to go again & again. Authentic shop, with friendly staff. They have a good reputation. It is very popular among the people.

Whenever in Patna I will visit Shree Vrindavan Sweets & Chaat again and again. 100% satisfaction. I would recommend it. 10 out of 10.

Review: AC Waiting Lounge at Tatanagar Jn. Railway Station

• • East Singhbhum, Jharkhand • Tags:

AC Waiting Lounge at Tatanagar Jn. Railway Station is on Platform No. 1.

I reached Tatanagar Jn. Railway Station from Saraikela to travel via SOUTH BIHAR EXP (13287) to Patna Jn.

As the train was hours late I decided to avail the services of the AC Waiting Lounge.

I was requested to submit the train ticket PNR (Passenger Name Record) number.

Upon query, details of the AC Waiting Lounge were shared as follows:

15 & 45 rupees charges per person per hour.

By paying 15 rupees per hour you may sit on a business class sofa.

By paying 45 rupees per hour you may relax on a sofa-cum-sleeping set.

There is a family room also for which one has to pay Rs. 150 per hour.

I opt for the 15 rupees per hour option.

After entering the AC Waiting Lounge I saw 4 Voltas air-conditioned installed making the waiting hall super cool.

There were 24 business-class sofa sets and 12 sofa-cum-sleeping sets.

There was a massage chair also and the charge to avail the services was Rs. 100 for a 15-minute massage.

An electronic board outside the AC Waiting Lounge displays the train running status.

Free Wi-Fi was also available.

Other than the above said facilities there is a small outlet outside the AC Waiting Lounge where packed foods & drinks are available on M.R.P.

I had a cup of hot coffee.

In short, I found the AC Waiting Lounge comfortable – the best for resting & relaxing, safe, less crowded, cool, clean, and excellent for waiting before catching the train for individual destinations.

The toilet I did not use. Can’t say about its cleanliness but the hygienic washroom was mentioned on the facilities list.

The AC Waiting Lounge experience was amazing. I loved the idea of having an AC waiting lounge at a railway station.

In short: Affordable prices, hygiene, and cleanliness at par, all under one roof – open 24×7. It’s worth all the money.

Any bona fide railway passenger with a PNR or Aadhaar Card can rest at the AC Waiting Lounge.

These lounges enhanced passenger’s rail travel experience. A hidden gem.

A great initiative by the railways. Thank you Indian Railways.

About: Sri Sri Pandaveshwar Mahadev, Bhimkhanda (in Hindi)

॥ Sri Sri Pandaveshwar Mahadev, Bhimkhanda ॥

The glory of “Sri Sri Pandaveshwar Mahadev” established by the hands of Panduputra Bhimsen in Dwaparyug provides the ability and energy to fight the difficulties in life and makes one victorious. According to legend, it was discovered during the time of the late Gangadhar Singhdev, the landlord of Bana under the king of Saraikela, by a farmer while searching for his milk-giving cow along with “Shri Shri Baneshwar Baba”. According to the study and research-based analysis of folklore and folk culture beliefs and traditions, during the Mahabharata period, after the Varanavat Lakhshagriha fire, the Pandavas along with mother Kunti were brought to this area. Incidentally, “Hidimba Vadh”, “Bhim-Hidimba Vivah”, “Ghatotkach‘s Birth and Coronation” and “Veer Barbarik‘s Story” are associated with this area.

About - Shri Shri Pandava Footprint at Bhimkhanda (Jharkhand, India)

॥ “Shri Shri Pandava Footprint” ॥

This huge footprint on the rock at Bhimkhanda, an ancient tourist spot, and the small inscription in Bangla script nearby prove the existence of Sri Sri Bheem Paduka. During the reign of the Kipal dynasty, the common people here were familiar and influenced by the events of Mahabharata in some way or the other. This type of script was used during the reign of the Pala dynasty. According to the calculations of morphological anthropology, the height of the person who left this footprint could be up to 25-30 feet. According to the references mentioned in the Puranas, the height of people was the same even in the Dwapar Yuga.

About: Shri Shri Ekta Sankalp Vriksha, Bhimkhanda

॥॥ “Shri Shri Ekta Sankalp Vriksha” ॥॥

This “Shri Shri Ekta Sankalp Vriksha” located at Bhimkhanda ancient tourist spot is known as the Arjun tree in the local language, whose botanical name is Terminalia Arjuna and Nadi Srij in Sanskrit. Every part of this tree is full of medicinal properties. On careful observation, it can be seen that its two branches are recombined and three sub-branches emerge from one and two from the other. These five sub-branches represent the five Pandavas and two branches represent Mother Kunti and Madri. This tree represents the resolution of the unbreakable unity of the Pandu sons who were in trouble after the Varanavat Lakhshagriha fire incident. It teaches us that “Difficulties in life do not come to destroy but to awaken the hidden power and energy in man”.

Clean Shave/Head Massage in Saraikela – How much I Paid?

• • Jharkhand, Seraikela-Kharsawan • Tags:

Clean Shave/Head Massage in Saraikela – How much I Paid? – The question.

I requested a local friend for a salon visit.

We visited ‘The Look’ an air-conditioned salon at Thana Chowk, Saraikela.

‘The Look’ is a 10-year-old salon that provides services like Hair Straightening/Face Wash/Hair Color/Bleach/Hair Spa etc. etc.

Raj the barber before shaving applied Ponds facewash. Then after face cleaning applied Nivea Shaving Foam which was a new experience.

Till-date, I have never applied Nivea Shaving Foam for shaving.

I always try to apply Gillette Shaving Foam.

Till-date I have experienced five types of branded shaving foam excluding Nivea Shaving Foam – Gillette, Brooks, Cimelle, Galaxy & V12.

The difference?

No idea.

All I can say – the clean shave was as good as in any other city barbershop.

Now it was time for a head/shoulder/back/arms massage – my personal favorite.

Raj poured Streax Hair Serum on head which was a new experience.

The Head/Shoulder/Back/Arms massage was excellent as I was tired of traveling.

How much do I pay?

Rs. 50 only for shaving – He replied.

How much for the massage? – I question.

Again Rs. 50 only – The reply.

Only 100 rupees. Very cheap – a thought within.

In short, the results were satisfying. I was happy.

Nothing Found?
