We enjoyed the Kathiyawadi cuisine too much. It is spicy and I loved it. The best part was mirchi is stuffed with mirchi & it is spicy hot!

The people of Gujarat were helpful and guiding us whenever we needed help to find some places.

I was unaware that I was visting our PM Narendra Modi's village in Gujarat. His village, Vadnagar is exceptionally clean, beautiful and serene. The Amba Mata Aarti that was being sung in the village temple still rings in my ears, when the Moon on Dev Diwali's Tripurari Pournima was rising.

When we asked for directions to the ST bus depot, the person gave us a lift in his car to the bus stand!

I also met my college friend after 15 years here, when she decided to join our trip impromtu for some part of the journey! It was nice.

(The approximate expense of this trip from Mumbai to Gujarat & back in 3AC train with hotel stay was Rs. 5000/-).

How to visit Sanchi Stupa in around Rs. 200/-?

Exploring History: Monuments on Indian currency notes - SANCHI STUPA.

Madhya Pradesh is the heart of Incredible India!

The quest to visit sanchi Stupa in around Rs. 200/- note (INR) is because the reverse of the note has motif of 'Sanchi Stupa', depicting the country's cultural heritage.

Hope the photo does justice to the motif on the note.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nearest railway station: Bhopal Junction in Madhya Pradesh.

Take a rickshaw from Bhopal railway station to Nadra bus depot. (INR 10/- per head).

Take a bus from Nadra bus depot to Sanchi (INR 70/- per head) & around an hour's ride.

You will see the stupa popping out from the top of a hillock on your right.

Get down at the four crossroad junction.

For breakfast, head in the lane opposite to the stupa. (INR 40/- per head for poha, kachori, wada and tea).

Then take a rickshaw from the base of the stupa to reach the top of the hillock or entrance of the stupa. The rick will charge INR 20/- per head.

Ask for rickshawalla's mobile number, so you can call him again to drop you down (INR 20/- per head).

Book the entry ticket online (INR 40/- per head). Locker facility is available as carrying bags, plastic bottles, eatables inside the monument is not allowed.

Return same way by bus (INR 70/- per head) to Nadra depot & by rick (INR 10/- per head) to Bhopal railway station.

Blessed.
