On Russian: Vo vtornik ya reshila ne idti na raboty, chtobi provesti den s Igorem, posetit ewe kakie-nibud mesta v Kalkutte. Mi vstali rano ytrom, reshili poehat v izvestniy hram Darkshineswar Kali Mandir, hram boga Kali (boginya), ochen vazhniy bog dlya indusov. Eto nahoditsya ochen daleko oy nas, v drugom konze goroda, poetomu mi poehali snachala na metro, do konechnoi stanzii Dum Dum (chitaetsya kak "dam dam"), a potom yzhe stali iskat na meste hot odnogo cheloveka, kto podskazal bi nam kak naiti etot hram. Nakonez-to mi nashli rebyat-studentov otelnogo Instityta, oni tozhe tuda sobiralis, tak chto mi ostalis s nimi i poehali vse vmeste.
Here we are in suburban train going to the Kali Temple. It took us 2 stations. On Russian: Zdes mi edem v elektrichke na puti k hramu, vsego bilo 2 ostanovki.
People in Kolkatadon't like when in subways and trains people take a photo, that is why it is the only one and it is very dark. But it is in suburban train. On Russian: Ludi v Kalkutte ne lubyat, kogda kto-nibud delaet fotografii v metro ili poezdah, bolee togo eto zaprezeno, no mne ydalos sdelat odny fotku, hot i ona ochen temnaya...
This the station, it looks like the temple Kali Mandir. On Russian: Eto stanziya, na kotoryu mi priehali, ona viglyadit, kak hram ;)))
This temple is situated a little bit out of the city, but it is very easy to get to it and surroundings are wonderful. On Russian: Etot hram nahoditsya nemnogo podalshe ot samogo goroda, no ochen legko dobratsya do tuda, ochen krasivie mesta vokrug.
Darkshineswar Kali Mandir
This is whole territory of the temple. Somewhere there we left our shoes and when we came back after visiting temple there were Igor's trainers Adidas...It is strange what for someone there shoes with the size 43....and specially it is strange that it was stolen in such holy place like this temple... But it is strange also that is was stolen in such holy place like temple...But I read somewhere that this can happen with everyone... On Russian: eto vse territoria hrama. Gde-to zdes mi ostavili nashy obyv, tak kak nelzya bit v obyvi vnytri hrama, a kogda yzhe vernylis, to ne nashli krossovki Igorya... Konechno ochen vse eto stranno, tak kak komu zdes ponadobilis krossovki 43 razmera... indusi malenkie.. i ewe, konechno, stranno to, chto stawili obyv v svyatom meste... No ya chitala gde-to, chto takoe bivaet ;)))
I don' have any photos from inside of the temple, because photos is prohibited. So I just can say that is very peaceful place, very beautiful there. We saw the statue of Kali, it is made of gold, silver, brilliants, whole statue is decorated by flower, it looks amazing. On Russian: Y menya net fotografiy v hrame, tak kak eto zapreweno delat fotografii tam, s etim stroho... no mogy skakzat, chto tam ochen krasivo, otmosvera ochen horoshaya i spokoinaya, mirolubivaya. Mi videli statyu bogini Kali, vipolnena is zolota, serebra i brilliantov, sverhy ewe ykrasheno vse zvetami, viglyadit vse eto prosto potryasauwe.
We are after visiting the Temple, next to it. On Russian: Yzhe posle poseweniya hrama, naprotiv nego.
With our new friends. Want to express special thankful words to them all because without them it would be almost impossible to understand what to do there and what everything means, there are a lot different traditions connected with this temple. On Russian: s nashimi novimi druziyami. Hochy virazit slova blagodarnosti nashim znakomim, kotorie proveli nam ekskursiu v hrame, pokazali i rasskazali tradizii, svyazannie s etim, bez nih mi bi ne znali, na chto obrawat vnimanie, kuda luchshe idti, kuda net. ;)))
Next to this temple there is garden. We went there and saw big tree o0n which there were a lot of monkeys, some people fed them, all visitors took photos of them ;))) On Russian: Ryadom s etim hramom est sad. Tam est bolshoe derevo, na kotorom zhivyt obeziyanki, tam ih bilo ochen mnogo, ludi kormyat ih, vse posetiteli fotografirovali obeziyanok.
hehe so funny monkeys ;))) On Russian: takie smeshnie obeziyanki ;)))
Nice tree ;))) On Russian: klassnoe derevo.
All together ;)))) On Russian: Vse vmeste ;))
Then we decided to go to opposite site of the river and go to another temple Belur Math, we went my boat, came there but was closed... It was closed till 16.00 pm, and we came there at 14.00, that is why we went back to Kolkata ;)) On Russian: Potom mi reshili poehat v drugoi hram Belur Math, kotoroi nahoditsya na protivopolozhnoi storone reki. Mi poplili tyda na lodke, priehali v 14.00, a on zakrit do 16.00, poetomu reshili ne zhdat nichego i poehali obratno v Kolkaty.
This it river Ganga. Next to the temple it is holy water ;))) All people come there swim and wash out their sins... On Russian: Eto reka Ganga. Ta chast, kotoraya nahoditsya ryadom so hramom, schitaetsya svyatoi, ludi kupautsya tam i smivaut svoi grehi...
It is our boat... On Russian: nasha lodka ;))
Then we decided to go to Millenium Park. On Russian: Potom mi reshili poehat v Millenium park.
The Hawrah Bridge - the most well-known in the city. On Russian: Hawrah Bridge - samiy isvestniy v gorode.
