Gwalior Trip (28th and 29th OCTOBER 2017)


REPORT- VISIT TO  GWALIOR

Gwalior was once not only the capital of Scindias but is also a historically rich and one of the most popular cities of Madhya Pradesh. Gwalior has always been loved and visited by tourists for their stunning forts and intricate palaces.

To explore this city which is also known as Heart of Incredible India, a group of 77 students of Class II To VIII (PRIMUS)  along with eight teachers from DAV Public School, Pushpanjali Enclave went on an educational tour to Gwalior from 28nd to 29th October 2017. Despite a cumbersome train journey the children were all set to explore the incredible city

On the first day (28th Oct.) children visited places of historical interest such as Gwalior Fort, Man Singh Palace. The Light and Sound Show was unique as it was in the voice of Cine Maestro Amitabh Bachhan. Then they visited Teli Ka Mandir which is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is undoubtedly famous for its splendid architecture.
Next day after an early breakfast at hotel, the sightseeing continued. Children were spell bounded on seeing the beautiful chandeliers, gold furnishings, huge carpets and not to be missed silver train on the big dining table in Jai Vilas Palace. They were amazed to know that the chandeliers and gold leaves in this museum are the world’s heaviest. Students also visited Laxmibai Chattri, a memorial to Rani Laxmi Bai, one of the greatest fighters of India’s first war of independence. The Saas – Bahu temple, originally named ‘Sahastra Bahu Temple’ was a marvel to look at. This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. After lunch at hotel, the trip culminated with a visit to The Sun Temple on the way to Railway Station. As the name suggests, the temple is dedicated to the holy Sun God and was constructed in the year 1988 by the famous industrialist G.D. Birla. It is built on the lines of legendary Sun Temple at Konark, Orissa.

The students reached Nizamuddin station at around 10.30 p.m. Students thoroughly enjoyed this trip as it gave them an opportunity to not only see the magnificent Indian architecture, India’s glorious history but also learn about the first freedom struggle of India. The trip also gave an opportunity to students to make lasting bonds with each other and all came back with lifetime memories.
All the students and teachers are thankful to the Principal Ma’am, Mrs. Rasmi Raj Biswal, Mr. Pradeep, the administrative head and the coordinator of PRIMUS, Mrs. Jyotsna Kumar for giving this wonderful opportunity and a well arranged trip.
