3. Lake of Skeletons - Roopkund Lake, Chamoli, Uttarakhand
At a height of 16,500 feet, in the middle of the most uninhabitable part of the Himalayas lies the secluded Roopkund Lake, covered in snow and surrounded by rock-strewn glaciers. More popularly known as Skeleton Lake or Mystery Lake, the spine-chilling attraction of this lake is the 600 odd human skeletons that were discovered here. These date back to the 9th CE and are clearly visible at the bottom of the shallow lake when the snow melts. The locals believe that this entourage had earned the fury of the local deity, Latu, who sent a terrible hailstorm their way, which eventually killed them.

Saint শরীরের নির্মাণে ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে যে শিলা উপর একটি বানান স্থাপন. 70 কেজি রক মাত্র 11 আঙুল টিপস তা স্পর্শ এবং জোরে তার নাম ধরে ডাকতে ডাকতে দ্বারা প্রত্যাহার করা যেতে পারে. আজ পর্যন্ত, কমর আলী স্টোন magically তার নাম chanting দ্বারা প্রত্যাহার করা যেতে পারে!

Somewhere in Pune, in a quaint little hamlet called Shivapur, lies the Hazrat Qamar Ali Darvesh that has a magical story to tell. The current shrine was a gymnasium, 800 years ago. A Sufi saint called Qamar Ali was taunted by the wrestlers there. The saint placed a spell on the rocks that were used for body-building. The 70 kg rock can only be lifted by 11 finger tips touching it and calling out his name loudly. Till date, the Stone of Qamar Ali can be magically lifted by chanting his name!

আপনারা জানেনঃ-

পুরীর শ্রী শ্রী জগন্নাথ মন্দির নানা
অলৌকিক রহস্যে ভরা।আমরা এখানে তা তুলে ধরছিঃ
(1) এই মন্দিরের কোনো ছায়া
পরে না।
(2) মন্দিরের চূড়ার পতাকা
বায়ুর উল্টো দিকে ওড়ে।
(3) মন্দিরের উপর আজ
পযন্ত কোনো পাখি বসতে
দেখা যায়নি।
(4) মন্দিরের ওপর দিয়ে কোনো
বিমান,পাখি উড়ে যেতে পারে না।
(5) মন্দিরের সিংহ দ্বারে
সমূদ্রের ঢেউয়ের শব্দ শোনা যায়।
(6) মহাপ্রসাদ রান্না হয় পরপর
সাতটি মাটির পাত্রে একসাথে(একটির উপরে আরেকটি বসানো হয়) কিন্তু
রান্না হয় উপরের
হাঁড়িতে সবার প্রথমে।
(7) ভক্ত সংখ্যা কম বেশি হলেও
প্রসাদের কম বেশি হয় না।কেউই অভুক্ত থাকেন না।
(8)মন্দিরের রান্নাঘরের ভিতর দিয়ে গঙ্গানদী প্রবাহমান,যা বাইরে থেকে দেখা যায় না।

Personal life:-

During Geeta's recording of songs for the movie Baazi, she met its young and upcoming director, Guru Dutt. Their romance culminated in marriage on 26 May 1953. Geeta went on to sing some of her best songs in his movies while continuing to sing in other assignments as well.
Geeta and Guru Dutt had three children: Tarun (b. 1954), Arun (b. 1956), and Ninā (b. 1962). Tarun committed su***de in 1985. Arun Dutt died in 2014.
In 1957, Guru Dutt launched a movie, Gauri, with Geeta as its singing star. It was to be India's first movie in CinemaScope, but the project was shelved after only a few days of shooting. By then, their marriage was on the rocks: Guru Dutt had got romantically involved with Waheeda Rehman, and Geeta had taken to drinking. The break-up of their marriage affected Geeta's singing career.
Meanwhile, in distant Bengal, Geeta Dutt's songs were on every Bengali cine buffs lips as her dulcet voice crooned for Bengal's Queen of Hearts Suchitra Sen in some of biggest hits of the late 50s. "Tumi je amar" (Harano Sur, 1957) caught the fascination of the youth, portraying a romance that was passionate yet dignified. With music directors Hemant Mukherjee (better known as Hemant Kumar in Bombay film industry) (Harano Sur) and Nachiketa Ghosh (Prithibi Amare Chaaye, 1957 and Indrani, 1958), Geeta Dutt came up with songs that were hauntingly melodious, youthful and heartwarming. At a time when Sandhya Mukherjee's voice was synonymous with Suchitra Sen, Hemant Mukherjee and Nachiketa Ghosh picked Geeta Dutt.[2]
In 1958, S.D. Burman had developed discord with Lata Mangeshkar as a playback singer, and he attempted to work with Geeta as the main singer of his compositions rather than the upcoming Asha Bhosle who, he felt, was relatively raw. However, out of her personal problems, Geeta would not practice her art sufficiently and failed to meet Burman's demanding standards. (He and O.P. Nayyar then started to work with Asha and helped her blossom as a singer.)
Guru Dutt's magnum opus Kaagaz Ke Phool came in 1959 in which Guru Dutt himself starred in the lead role with Waheeda Rehman. The film was in a way reflective of his own views on life and the transitory nature of fame and success in the film world.
Geeta Dutt came up with one of her best renditions in the heart-rending "Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam," composed by S. D. Burman and penned by Kaifi Azmiwhere she poured out her pain, anguish and pathos in every word. However, the box-office disaster of Kaagaz Ke Phool (which is now considered a classic) left them shattered, financially and emotionally.[2]
In 1964, Guru Dutt died from a combination of alcohol and an overdose of sleeping pills. (His death was widely perceived as a su***de following two earlier attempts.[3]) Geeta then suffered a serious nervous breakdown and ran into financial problems. She tried to resume her singing career, cutting discs at Durgā Pujā and giving stage shows. She performed in a leading role in a Bengali movie, Badhu Baran (1967), and sang admirably Anubhav (1971), which was her final performance to the music of Kanu Roy as she died of liver cirrhosis in 1972, at the age of 41.[4]

Career:-

K. Hanuman Prasad took Geeta under his patronage, trained and groomed her in singing and later launched her into singing for movies. In 1946, she got the first break with an opportunity to sing in the mythological film Bhakta Prahlad for which Prasad was the music director. She was given only two lines to sing for a few songs. She was sixteen, and those two lines mesmerised everyone in the recording studio.
Ab jaani re pehchaani re
Suno suno vintee hamaari
Suno suno hari ki leela
Jaag uthe hum jaag uthe
In 1947, she got her break with Do Bhai. The music of Do Bhai became a hit with "Mera sundar sapna beet gaya" topping the charts. Geeta Roy's fresh and melodious voice combined vivacity and pathos in such a way that, despite a pronounced "Bengali lilt," the song touched the pulse of thousands of music lovers. In the same film she sang the evocative "Yaad karoge, yaad karoge, ik din humko yaad karoge." It was remarkable for a teenager to sing with such maturity.[2]
In the same year, she sang for Hunuman Prasad's other releases.
• "Naino Ki Pyali Se Hoto Ki Madira" (Rasili)
• "Neha Lagake Mukh Mod Gayaa" (Rasili)
• "Aaja ri Nindiya Aaja": a lullaby alongside the established playback singer Parul Ghosh (Nai Maa)
The uncanny ability of Geeta Dutt that made her race past her contemporaries was her unique versatility to sing any kind of song with the authentic tone, feeling, passion and emotion as demanded by the composition and the situation it was being picturised in. From a bhajan to a club song, from a haunting melancholic song to a peppy romantic number, she could traverse the range of music, seemingly effortlessly. This unique versatility helped Geeta (Roy) Dutt carve out a niche and cement her place even when the Lata Mangeshkar phenomenon was sweeping through the world of Hindi playback, following the runaway success of Aayega Aanewala in Mahal (1949). Geeta Dutt's chart-busting "Tadbeer se bigdi hui taqdeer bana le" in Guru Dutt's directorial debut Baazi (1951) was the turning point where "Geeta Roy's vivacity was matched every inch by Geeta Bali on-screen". S. D. Burman had turned a ghazal by Sahir Ludhianvi into a sensual club song much to the chagrin of the famed lyricist-poet: The ploy worked as Baazi proved a hit on the strength of that song alone.
S D Burman fully exploited Geeta Dutt's potential across the spectrum. "Aan milo shyam saanware" (Devdas, 1955), the duet with Manna Dey, has the unmistakable touch of the Baul folk music of Bengal. "Nanhi kali sone chali" (Sujata, 1959) is one of the most popular and heart-touching lullaby ever where Geeta Dutt's voice rings maternal love in every note. The bubbly exuberance of "Aye dil mujhe bata de" (Bhai Bhai, 1956) is in sharp contrast to the pathos of "Waqt ne kiya" in (Kaagaz Ke Phool, 1959).
