6 Amazing Facts About Limestone Caves in Andaman That Nobody Had Told You About

At one of the ends of the South Andaman area is located yet another nature's wonder where thousands of tourist give a visit to them daily. They cannot be blamed for this particular act of theirs. At these unique limestone caves, they will be offering a whole new and different sight to the coming visitors that they may not have witnessed before. Even without them, the island on which they located is comprised of dense and thick forest covers, a thought-provoking area with numerous volcanoes that gushes out some methane gas, a charming area of marshy place grown with natural vegetation of mangrove and the convoyed journey through the Jarawa Tribal Reserve. Anyhow, here we are going to discuss about in intricately built Limestone caves by nature those awe researchers and tourists both. The following are the amazing facts about related to them that nobody had told you about.

In the water bodies adjacent to the caves live saltwater crocodiles

These scary-looking saltwater crocodiles could complete the requirement of what mysterious place would look like. On the paths leading to the limestone caves, the visitors could spot at least a few saltwater crocodiles resting by the large stone amid dense bushes or on the marshy areas grown with mangroves. So the visiting tourists will be advised to not to dip their hands while they are ferrying in the small country boats across the waters, as if they appear out of nowhere the traveller will have to pay the price for it by getting hurt. Furthermore, some of these creepy looking reptiles will be holding their jaws open for quite some time.

Travelling up to the caves without convoys will be equal to risking your lives

The forest covers amid which the travellers are passing by to reach the limestone cave are inhabited by the indigenous tribe of Jarawa. The aboriginals are left to live by their own without any sort of communication with the outside world. So any kind of encroachments to their place is strictly prohibited by the Tourism department of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. They may turn hostile by even photographing them. Therefore, the tour to Baratang limestone cave will be done in special conveys of a group of tourist vehicles rather than travelling separately in the risky zones of tribal.

The interiors of the caves have been remaining in the same formations for millions of years

Although this may sound astonishing, it is a fact that the limestone cave and its formations had not altered for many years together. However, different layers composed of deposits of lime can be seen to be providing different shades to the rocks. Moreover, they had formed with the minerals of Calcium Carbonate around millions of years ago with the decayed corals, shells, skeletons and other deposits of marine life. And they were later compressed to end up in such formations. To admire them completely, one needs to pass over their comparatively broader entrance point and further moving inwards the path gets narrower. These rock formations of the conical shaped cave are irresistibly very spectacular to watch at.

The mangrove forest cover on the paths leading to the cave is one of the thickest ones in the entire Andaman group of islands

The areas surrounding the cave are naturally grown with a thick cover of mangroves from all of its sides besides the leaves of Buttonwood, Hental, black and Sundari trees. Most importantly, such cultivation noticed here is said to be one of the thickest ones in the Andaman Islands as it is even difficult for the sunrays to hit either the ground or water surface even making the afternoons look darker. The mangroves could easily be noticed in close quarters when taken an engaging boat ride across them and the creeks through which they are proceeding would get narrower as nearing them. Travellers may opt for either a country boat or speed boats for this very purpose. Moreover, the visitors need to cover a large stretch of mangrove vegetation to arrive at this limestone cave.

Both stalagmite and stalactite can be seen in the cave formations

As stated before, the natural rock formations in the interiors of the Limestone caves are stunning for many reasons. One among which could be the unique shapes of stalagmite and stalactite in the ancient untouched cave on comparatively broader sections. Moreover, it is rather rare to find both these specialities of cave formations under the same roof. When considering separately, the stalagmites are the ones formed from the base of the cave, whereas stalactite is begun from the ceilings that would resemble like wall chandeliers. Interestingly, when both of these meets, the aftermath rocks will form a pillar-like structure.

Travellers will get to meet some unique sort of animals and bird species living in the cave

The region around the Baratang Limestone cave is blessed with a diverse population of plant and animal species. And some of them could be endemic to the islands. Nevertheless, the most striking among which could be the adorable flowering plants on those forestry regions of the paths leading to the caves. They are grown in shallow soil as underneath them there is the prominent presence of large rock. Because of the very same reason, the trees near the cave are profoundly stunned.

Just like these natural formations of limestone caves, many other marvels could make you think twice of its very existence. Merely head to any of such wonders of nature and feel bewitched on your holidaying in the islands.

In the above paragraphs, one might have read some general but vital information about the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. But has anyone ever come across the tribal settlements in the island? Just like the island is famous for its beguiling ambiguity the island is also popular for its tribal groups. Once the island was completely inhabited by various families of tribal people due to the changes of climatic conditions and human invasions many groups vanished from the surface of the earth. And now only a few are surviving on the earth. The two famous tribal groups that are seen in large and small groups are Jarwa and Sentinel. Jarwa tribes are seen in Jarwa Island situated close to Baratang Island. With years of efforts now they have started to express some interest in communicating with modern people. Every month through the Indian Navy the tribal people are getting essential things in adequate quantities from the Indian government. With the intervention of modern people, they have started to adopt several modern techniques in their day to day life. The other group of people who are still reluctant to mingle with the modern world are the Sentinel tribal group. They are mainly settled in North Sentinel Island.

North Sentinel Island

The sentinel tribal groups are settled in the northern and southern regions of Sentinel Islands. It is sprawled in an area of 59.6 sq km. The onge another tribal group used to call North Sentinel Island as ‘Chia daaKwokweyeh’. They are very hesitant to come out of the Palaeolithic age life. They are unaware of the techniques of agriculture. They are generally termed as hunter-gatherers. The use of poisonous weapons to hunt animals, birds, and fishes and sometimes even humans! As they do not possess education they firmly believe in many superstitions such as when anyone in their group suffers from severe body pain what they would do is they will cut their finger or any part of the body. This is done so as to remove the impure blood from the body. As they consider impure blood causes pain in their body. If any person shows an attempt to communicate with them, with poisonous arrows they will kill them. Therefore till now, nobody knows how they are living, their style taste and so on. A ship of Indian Navy has halted miles ago from the sentinel island to check if any people are taking the initiative to communicate with them. As per the law of the Indian government, if anybody tries to communicate with Sentineleese will be strictly punished. With good intentions, many people took efforts to speak with them. But eventually, they all lost their lives. In 2006 December a rigorous Tsunami took off the lives of lakhs of people from the world especially from India and other islands. But to be surprise none of the Sentinel people was affected by the natural calamities. Studies say that these people have ‘sixth sense’. i.e. they could see grasp the minute changes occurring in nature and take precautions accordingly.

5 Surprising Facts about Shri Vetrimalai Murugan Temple in Port Blair in Andaman

The tourists coming to the islands will be expecting obviously the beaches and its crystal clear seawaters, however, but catching a glimpse of any churches, temples or mosques could be least expected. There are indeed some of those significant religious centres spread across the islands. But the one at Shadipur area of Port Blair, which can be seen just behind the residence of Governor known as Raj Niwas could be labelled as the most significant among them. It could be due to various reasons that they are considering the temple over the other. Here we give a quick peek on some of the surprising facts about Shri Vetrimalai Murugan Temple in Port Blair in Andaman.

The temple was actually situated in Ross Island before relocating to Port Blair

Even before the independence, the popular temple did exist in the archipelago, where the colonial masters have prominence. Rather than the capital of the Andaman Islands Port Blair, they were always more impressed of the adjacent Ross Island. As many of their workers included people from the mainland, they would obviously wish to build their religious centres in the place they live in. Later in the year of 1926, the Shri Vetrimalai Murugan temple was built. However, after independence, the entire situations changed and many of them had to migrate to the capital. Henceforth, their most reliable temple too was shifted to the place they are presently positioned in 1947.

British was in total support to built them

Even if such a move from the governing British was unexpected, they had indeed played a great role in the establishment of such an important religious centre. It was these strict colonisers who had taken the initiative to build a temple at the place where they were settled in large concentrations. Also, many of them comprise of the people migrated from Tamil Nadu. Therefore, both the physical appearance and the rituals followed in the temple were predominantly of Tamil Culture. Moreover, the events that later followed gives an inkling of the hidden motive by the British, as the construction of the religious centre was purely intentional.

It constitutes of the same design as that of a temple in Chennai

As mentioned earlier, the famous Hindu temple at Port Blair was built, owned and maintained by the believers mostly of Tamil origin, it is obvious that the major designs of the structure are influenced by Tamil- Dravidian architecture. Moreover, after the construction of Shri Vetrimalai Murugan temple, it somehow resembled the popular Kandha Kottam temple of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The real ethnic aesthetic beauty of both its interiors and exteriors attracts the attention of the visitors as they could witness the very intricate detailing of its beautiful carvings.

A rally is initiated from the temple premises on every Christmas Eve

When the mainland or any other parts of the world would be busy fighting with each other on the terms of different religious groups or community, here at the distant islands of Andaman and Nicobar, one could the true religious harmony. It would be surprising to note that on the Christmas Eve every year, the temples authorities take special initiatives in conducting a candlelight rally that will be participated by the devotees of all religious groups. Also, during other festivals of the temple such as Kanda Shasthi, Panguni Uthram and Thai, travellers who are on tour to the islands will gather other than the local dwellers.

Before Lord Murugan, it was Lord Vinayaka

As it was the British who had first thought of setting up an influential religious centre, there was little confusion over which Hind deity will be worshipped at the Shri Vetrimalai Murugan temple. The very option they chose was of building a Vinayaka temple. Nevertheless, the island had more Tamil administrators working in the colonial government and they requested to alter the major idol to be worshipped in the temple to Murugan, as this particular Hindu god had more devotees in Tamil Nadu. Later both the idols were worshipped in the temple just like the Mahaganapathy Temple in Kochi.

Just like this significant pilgrimage centre in the capital of Port Blair, you could drop into various other temples, churches, mosque, Gurudwara and Sai baba temples while you are vacationing in the distant islands of Andaman and Nicobar. A typical traveller would be astonished to find such religious harmony in the islands where many people believing in different faiths live together.
