There is nothing different about the Kali idol. But, at the time of Kali puja one must have a look at the bhog (prasad); it comprises of noodles, chop suey, rice-and-vegetables dishes. Tangra is a small Chinatown in the heart of Kolkata. A large number of Chinese population lives here since generations. Though they are predominantly Buddhist and Christians but here stands an unique symbol of cultural syntheses- a Chinese Kali Temple.
Trishund Ganapati Temple, Pune
As the name suggests “Trishund” actually means three trunks. Amidst of narrow lanes of Somvar Peth area of Pune lies a temple dedicated to Lord Ganesh. This Ganpati temple was built in between 1754 – 1770 AD. It was constructed by Bhimjigiri Gosavi. This is also supposed to be the only temple in Pune that is built in stone masonry.
Ravana Temple, Ravangram, Vidisha
The Ravana Temple is unusual to many Indians as In hindu mythology Ravan was depicted as a demon who kidnapped Sita mata at the time of Ramayana. This might be true to others but not for people of Ravangram village in Vidisha district. The people of Ravangram village worship Ravana and here lies an ancient 10 feet idol of Ravana in a reclining position which is worshiped by all the devotees.
Kali Singh Temple, Muzaffarnagar district, UP

भारत में आध्यात्मिकता और धर्म की गहरी जड़ें हैं। भारत में घूमने के लिए विभिन्न धार्मिक और आध्यात्मिक स्थान हैं। भारत की यह आध्यात्मिक भूमि 64 करोड़ देवी-देवताओं का घर है। भारत में सात पवित्र शहर हैं, जिनके नाम मथुरा, काशी, हरिद्वार, उज्जैन, कांचीपुरम, अयोध्या और द्वारका हैं। अन्य पवित्र शहर ऋषिकेश, अमृतसर और बोधगया हैं। यह भारत में कुल 10 अवश्य देखने योग्य आध्यात्मिक स्थल बनाते हैं। उपरोक्त आध्यात्मिक स्थलों के अलावा, भारत में कुछ अजीब और सबसे असामान्य मंदिर भी हैं। ऐसे शीर्ष 5 अजीब मंदिरों की सूची निम्नलिखित है।
चाइनीस काली मंदिर, टंगरा, कोलकाता
काली की मूर्ति में कुछ भी अलग नहीं है। लेकिन, काली पूजा के समय आपको भोग (प्रसाद) पर एक नज़र डालनी चाहिए; इसमें नूडल्स, चॉप सूई, चावल-और-सब्जी के व्यंजन शामिल होते हैं। टंगरा कोलकाता के दिल में एक छोटा सा चाइनाटाउन है। यहाँ पीढ़ियों से बड़ी संख्या में चीनी आबादी रहती है। हालाँकि वे मुख्य रूप से बौद्ध और ईसाई हैं, लेकिन यहाँ सांस्कृतिक संश्लेषण का एक अनूठा प्रतीक खड़ा है - एक चाइनीस काली मंदिर।
त्रिशुंड गणपति मंदिर, पुणे
जैसा कि नाम से पता चलता है "त्रिशुंड" का वास्तव में अर्थ है तीन सूंड। पुणे के सोमवार पेठ क्षेत्र की संकरी गलियों के बीच भगवान गणेश को समर्पित एक मंदिर स्थित है। यह गणपति मंदिर 1754 - 1770 ईस्वी के बीच बनाया गया था। इसका निर्माण भीमजीगिरी गोसावी ने करवाया था। यह पुणे का एकमात्र मंदिर भी माना जाता है जो पत्थर की चिनाई से बना है।
रावण मंदिर, रावणग्राम, विदिशा
रावण मंदिर कई भारतीयों के लिए असामान्य है क्योंकि हिंदू पौराणिक कथाओं में रावण को एक राक्षस के रूप में चित्रित किया गया था जिसने रामायण के समय सीता माता का अपहरण कर लिया था। यह दूसरों के लिए सच हो सकता है लेकिन विदिशा जिले के रावणग्राम गाँव के लोगों के लिए नहीं। रावणग्राम गाँव के लोग रावण की पूजा करते हैं और यहाँ रावण की 10 फुट की एक प्राचीन मूर्ति लेटी हुई अवस्था में है जिसकी सभी भक्त पूजा करते हैं।
काली सिंह मंदिर, मुजफ्फरनगर जिला, उत्तर प्रदेश
काली सिंह मंदिर मवेशियों को समर्पित है। यह अनोखा मंदिर उत्तर प्रदेश के मुजफ्फरनगर जिले में स्थित है। यहाँ दूर-दराज से आने वाले भक्त जानवरों के लिए प्रार्थना और दूध चढ़ाते हैं। महिलाएँ मंदिर परिसर के अंदर अपने दुधारू पशुओं से खीर बनाती हैं और उसे देवता को अर्पित करती हैं।
हडिम्बा मंदिर, मनाली
मनाली में स्थित एक और असामान्य मंदिर हडिम्बा मंदिर या हिडिम्बा मंदिर है। हिडिम्बा भीम की (भीम 5 पांडव भाइयों में से दूसरे) पत्नी और घटोत्कच की माँ थीं। यह पगोडा शैली में बना एक तीन मंजिला लकड़ी का मंदिर है और यह धुंगरी वन विहार के बीच में स्थित है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि यहीं हडिम्बा ने ध्यान किया था और वह देवी हडिम्बा बन गई थीं। यह मंदिर 1553 ईस्वी में बनवाया गया था।
The song "Charkha Mera Rangla" is a beautiful Punjabi folk song, and it has indeed been popularized by the melodious voice of Chitra Singh.
It's a classic example of a "charkha song," which traditionally express a woman's feelings – often longing, love, or even philosophical reflections – while she is spinning yarn on a charkha (spinning wheel). The charkha itself becomes a metaphor for life, time, or the beloved.
Chitra Singh's rendition is known for its soulful and heartfelt delivery, perfectly capturing the essence of the lyrics. It's often associated with Ghazal and folk music genres.

"Kothe Te Khalo Mahiya" is a classic Punjabi folk song, often performed as a duet. It's a "tappa," a short and lively form of Punjabi folk poetry, known for its playful and flirtatious back-and-forth between a man and a woman.
The song has been performed by several legendary Punjabi artists over the years, most notably as a duet by:
Asa Singh Mastana and Surinder Kaur: This is one of the most famous and iconic versions. Their voices beautifully complement each other, capturing the essence of the song's playful dialogue.
Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh: The Ghazal legends also gave their own unique rendition to this folk classic, which is widely popular and celebrated for its soulful delivery.
The song's lyrics often depict a lover calling out to their beloved to come to the rooftop ("kothe te") to meet, and the beloved responding with witty and sometimes teasing replies. It's a staple of Punjabi folk music and has been remixed and reinterpreted by many modern artists as well.

"Terian Mohabtan Ne maar Suttea" is a beautiful and classic Punjabi song, and it's most famously sung by the legendary Narinder Biba.
Narinder Biba was a prominent figure in Punjabi folk music, known for her powerful and expressive voice. Her rendition of this song, like many others, is cherished for its emotional depth and traditional Punjabi folk style.
While the song itself is an "Old Punjabi Song," it continues to be loved and heard, which is why it might be listed with tags like "Punjabi Songs 2022" to reflect its enduring popularity even today. It's a testament to the timeless appeal of Narinder Biba's music and the rich tradition of Punjabi folk.

"Gori Diyan Jhanjhran" is another gem from the rich treasure trove of Old Punjabi Songs, and it's famously associated with the legendary voice of Prakash Kaur.
Prakash Kaur was a monumental figure in Punjabi folk music, often regarded as one of the pioneers who laid the foundation for female vocalists in the genre. Her voice had a distinct raw power and emotional depth that made her renditions of folk songs unforgettable.
"Gori Diyan Jhanjhran" (meaning "The Anklets of the Fair Maiden") would typically be a song that describes the beauty and charm of a young woman, often focusing on the captivating sound of her anklets as she walks. Prakash Kaur's rendition would bring this imagery to life with her powerful and evocative singing.
Like many classic songs, even though it's an "Old Punjabi Song," its enduring appeal means it's still searched for and appreciated, hence its association with terms like "Punjabi Songs 2022" to denote its continued relevance.
