Elephants in battle

A war elephant was a military elephant that had been trained and guided by humans. The main purpose of the war elephant was to assault the enemy, break their ranks, and terrorise and terrify them. Elephantry refers to military formations that use elephants to transport troops. [1] In antiquity, war elephants played a crucial role in a number of significant wars, particularly in Ancient India. While they were only used on a limited and irregular basis in ancient China, they were a permanent staple in the armies of historical Southeast Asian kingdoms. They were also used in ancient Persia and the Mediterranean globe by Macedonian troops, Hellenistic Greek nations, the Roman Republic and later Empire, and Carthage in North Africa during classical antiquity.

LIVE Updates On Narendra Modi's Visit To Varanasi: Today's India has both 'Virasat' and 'Vikas,' says Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor's launch.

 

LIVE UPDATES ON PM Narendra Modi's Visit To Varanasi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi came in Varanasi today to dedicate the first section of the Kashi Vishwanath Dham, which cost roughly Rs 339 crore to build. After offering prayers at the ancient temple that attracts a large number of visitors from India and overseas, PM Modi dedicated the ambitious Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in the centre of Varanasi to the people.

 

 

On Sunday, construction workers were polishing stones, labourers were adorning the temple grounds with flowers, particularly marigold, and staff were rushing to get things ready at Lalita Ghat for the function.

In the run-up to the high-profile event, there is tangible excitement among the majority of residents of the temple town and domestic tourists flocking to the Hindu holy shrine, prompting increased police security in Varanasi.

 

 

 

The inauguration event, dubbed 'Divya Kashi, Bhavya Kashi,' has sparked such excitement that a Shiv Barat procession has been held in the streets near Godowlia Chowk, and many hotel owners have lit up their properties, with one saying, "It is a historic moment for Kashi, and we are fortunate to be part of it."

 

 

 

Workers and Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust personnel gathered at the temple site.

 

Many people were seen snapping photos in front of the historic temple or the four new entrances, which were built with traditional craftsmanship. Anil Keshri, a readymade garment vendor in Godowlia Chowk, was giddy with delight as he gazed at the adorned streets and illuminated buildings.

 

 

"Banares is the cultural heartland, the cradle of civilisation, and the home of 'Kashi Vishwanath ki Nagari.' Look at the lovely decorations; I'm really pleased, and the new corridor will undoubtedly bring more tourism and greater prestige to my city, and to India," he added, pointing to a shobha yatra banner posted at the well-known street intersection.

 

 

 

The walls of a flyover near the Varanasi airport in Babatpur have been covered with artist paintings depicting the Ganga'aarti, Kashi Vishwanath temple, Benares ghats, and other legacy of the city, which has been Modi's parliamentary seat since 2014.

 

 

"The opening of the new corridor is a miraculous moment," Shrikant Mishra, the temple's main priest, said. Nothing happens in this city without the blessing of Kashi Vishwanath baba. It is His town. His will encompasses all aspects of creation, destruction, and recreation.

 

Phase one of the project will see the opening of 23 buildings, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office. Suvidha kendras, tourist facilitation centres, vedic kendras, mumukshu bhavan, bhogshala, city museum, observation gallery, and food court, among other things, would be available to pilgrims.

 

The project's scope was such that it now covers a gigantic area of around five lakh square feet, when the previous premises were only about 3,000 square feet. Despite the Covid epidemic, the project was finished on time, according to the PMO.

 

Posters have been placed on elaborate lampposts in the streets surrounding the stadium.
