Chakia

Moving in eastern Uttar Pradesh has been an experience,

One which has taught me to be ever ready for surprises and encouraged me to explore more.

This trip also made me aware to the existence of multiple Chakias

(the one I talk of lies in Chandauli).

Latif Shah

Latif Shah dargah stands not far from the dam's massive walls

The dam is referred to as one of the older ones in the country

An old Dargah and a 'temple of new India' together have not convinced us to keep the place clean!

Musakhand

This dam too is on the Karam-nasha

One where I finally plunged into the waters

Gurahupur

Not far from where Chandauli and Kaimur meet

Rock paintings, Buddha and silences
