The Republic Spirit... 26th January, 2020

Republic day is a festival of Democracy, celebrated on 26th of January each year. In Solan too it was celebrated at Thodo Ground. The Panchayati Raj Minister, Sh. Virender Kanwar was the Chief Guest of the function. After the flag hoisting ceremony, a magnificent March Past was given by the Police, Home Gaurds, NCC and School students. A vibrant cultural programme presented by the school students showcased the multi-hued rich cultural heritage. The students with their powerful performances moved the hearts of the audience. The programme was ended with the prize distribution to the persons who have achieve something extra ordinary.

I would request each and everyone must attend our national functions, as watching parade live instantly boost your patriotism and help to strengthen our bond with the nation as well as the cultural heritage.  

Must visit places in Solan

While traveling from Kalka to Shimla you will cross through a beautiful town Solan on the midway. Situated on the Shivalik mountain range, the town is named after the Goddess Shoolini Devi. There are a lot of places worth seeing. I personally advise to visit the following places, and I am sure you will enjoy:

1. The Shoolini Temple: This beautiful temple is dedicated to the Goddess Shoolini. It's situated in the heart of the city. Maa Shoolini is the deity of all the people living in Solan and My personal recommendation is to start your journey of Solan after taking the blessings of the Goddess. 

2.The Jatoli temple: On the outskirts of the city you will find the highest Shiva Temple named Jatoli Temple. It is situated on the Solan -Rajgharh Road, 8 KM from the city center. You will encounter a huge gathering at weekends.

Season's Snowfall in Solan

The hill town of Solan received season's first snowfall on Friday, 08th of January, 2020 as the residents witnessed the town covered with a white blanket of snow. People enjoyed the snow as it was, after almost a decade, the town witnessed so heavy snowfall. 

The beauty of the city of Maa Shoolini enhanced multi-fold with the fresh snow and people rushed out of their houses to play with the snow, whereas, some caged themselves into their homes as the cold wave engulfed the area completely.
