Monkey with Stolen Slipper

Monkey with Stolen Slipper – This photo was taken at the entrance gate of Nidhivan in Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh).

The best about monkeys is that they never steal both slippers. Only after feeding them with bananas or food, they give back whatever is stolen by them – slippers or spectacles or whatever. And if you are late to know about your stolen item then sorry because many times they operate what they have stolen and make it useless.

Please take care of your belongings all I can suggest is if you are touring Vrindavan or a location having lots of monkeys.

Janeu (Sacred Thread): Worn Both by Bachelors/Married Men

Janeu (Sacred Thread) is worn both by bachelors as well as married men.

Three-thread Janeu is worn by bachelors (ब्रह्मचारी) and Six thread (3 for Husband +3 for Wife = 6) is worn by married men.

The display board rewinds memory of the October 2011 Vrindavan to Agra tour.

Vrindavan to Agra to-and-fro I hired a rental Toyota Qualis (air-conditioned) for a day tour starting with Sunrise and ending with Sunset and the distance covered limit is 300 km. Amount paid Rs. 2600 all-inclusive. No other charges.

I planned to tour Agra Fort, Taj Mahal, and Fatehpur Sikri.

  • Vrindavan to Agra is 140 km approx. to-and-fro.
  • Agra to Fatehpur Sikri 76 km approx. to-and-fro.

Total distance 216 km approx.

And I bargain for 300 km. Rs. 9 almost per km. But it is also a fact I was unable to tour Fatehpur Sikri because I was too tired after the tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort but a great day tour and a wonderful journey as I travel via National Highway 2.

FYI: I started the journey from Vrindavan at 5:30 early morning hours and reached the Taj Mahal at 7:20 am. Two hours almost.
