“Boost for Religious Tourism: Bihar Acquires 50 Acres in Sitamarhi for Sita Temple”
Introduction:
Following the monumental Ram temple project in Ayodhya, Bihar is set to embark on a significant endeavor: constructing a grand temple dedicated to Sita, the revered goddess, in Sitamarhi district. The decision, approved by the Bihar Cabinet, marks a pivotal moment for religious tourism in the region and is poised to elevate Sitamarhi as a prominent pilgrimage destination.
Tumblr media
Key Points:
Plans are underway to develop a sprawling temple complex spanning 50 acres around an existing temple in Sitamarhi, echoing the grandeur of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Kameshwar Chaupal, a key proponent of the initiative and trustee of the Ayodhya Temple Trust, emphasizes the cultural and spiritual significance of Sitamarhi as Sita’s birthplace, akin to Ayodhya’s association with Lord Ram.
The Bihar government’s decision to acquire additional land complements an earlier initiative to revitalize the area, reflecting a commitment to bolster religious infrastructure and tourism.
Dr. S Siddharth, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, highlights the anticipated surge in pilgrim footfall and envisions Sitamarhi evolving into a prominent pilgrimage hub akin to Tirupati.
Sitamarhi’s inclusion in the Ramayana Circuit, a central government initiative for religious tourism development, further underscores its potential as a pilgrimage hotspot.
Significance:
The project signifies Bihar’s dedication to preserving and promoting its cultural heritage, catering to the sentiments of devotees and fostering religious harmony.
With the construction of the Sita temple, Sitamarhi is poised to attract a surge in pilgrims, driving economic growth and infrastructure development in the region.
The decision aligns with ongoing efforts to harness India’s rich religious heritage for tourism, contributing to the country’s socio-economic progress.
Conclusion:
As Bihar lays the groundwork for the construction of a monumental temple dedicated to Sita, the goddess of virtue and sacrifice, it heralds a new chapter in the state’s cultural narrative. With meticulous planning and concerted efforts, Sitamarhi is poised to emerge as a beacon of religious pilgrimage, drawing devotees from far and wide to pay homage to Sita’s divine legacy. This visionary project not only enriches Bihar’s cultural landscape but also reinforces India’s enduring spiritual heritage on the global stag.

I first became fascinated with it a few years ago when I noticed it out an airplane window on a flight from Texas to Southern California. In an expanse of endless desert, suddenly, a vast body of water. When I got home, I immediately looked it up on a map. The Salton Sea.
Tumblr media
It’s the largest landlocked body of water in California. It sits right on top of the San Andreas Fault at over 200 feet below sea level. It is more than twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean. It is completely toxic. And I had never heard of it before then.
(photo essay under the cut)
In the early 1900s the Colorado River was diverted through a series of irrigation canals in order to provide water for the farmlands of Imperial Valley. One of the head-gates broke during a flood, and the desert basin filled with water for 2 years before it was fixed. The unexpected lake soon became a popular vacation destination; it was stocked with fish, and resorts and hotels popped up along its shores. It became known as a great place for sport fishing, waterskiing, and yacht parties. Big name celebrities visited. At one point, it had more annual visitors than Yosemite.
Tumblr media
Salton Sea has no outlet, and is only filled via agricultural runoff. As the water evaporated in the hot desert sun, the lake became more and more saline. Chemicals began to build up from the run off causing toxic algae blooms, and mass die-offs of fish and birds started in the 80s. By the 90s, the beaches were littered with fish gills and bird bones and the resorts were abandoned. The lake began to dry up as irrigation run-off was diverted away. The exposed lake bed is also toxic, and the high desert winds kick up the dust, making the air poisonous. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite the unpleasant odor, the noxious air and the summer temperatures regularly reaching 120°, a renaissance of sorts began in the early 2010s. Artist and nomad colonies began to spring up around Salton Sea. Bombay Beach, once a popular resort destination, is now mostly a ghost town, but the folks who remain have turned the ruins on the shores into an outdoor art installation gallery where the found-art sculptures are cyclically destroyed by the elements and then replaced with new ones. Many of the houses and RVs in town are themselves art pieces.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In nearby Slab City, a settlement of off-the-grid lifestylers, you can find even more folk art. Salvation Mountain is a manmade hill painted with bright colors and bible verses and maintained by a community of volunteers. East Jesus is a sculpture garden and art installation.

This past weekend my partner and I finally made the pilgrimage to the Sea. California has the benefit of being home to a huge array of biomes. In just a couple of hours you can travel from snowy mountain peaks to lush oases to endless sand dunes. Driving the hour or so south from Palm Springs towards Salton Sea is like driving towards the end of the world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bombay Beach especially enamored me. The beach is crusted with salt and millions of tiny shells and bones. It smells awful, like sewage and chemicals and low-tide and rotting fish. You drive out onto the beach and park anywhere amongst the sculptures and deteriorating resort ruins. The art feels raw in a way I haven’t experienced before. It reminds me of seeing paleolithic cave art. Humans made this, with no motivation other than to create something intriguing or beautiful or sad. Not much can live out here, but what you find fills me with a great adoration for humanity. Despite the asphyxiation of the natural world, the human spirit persists.
