The Uttar Pradesh tourism department has decided to take up integrated projects to promote Bundelkhand as a tourist destination and explore the region’s potential for luring domestic and international tourists. The department has invited Expression of Interest from consultants to develop a plan for promoting Bundelkhand circuit under the Integrated Tourism Development Plan (ITDP).

With historical places like Jhansi, Mahoba and Chitrakoot, the circuit certainly has all what it needs to woo tourists. And we are now planning to market it in a big way. By inviting consultants, our aim is to weave in professionals who can offer us best plans as to what all should be done for the development of the circuit and how we can sell it. After getting these plans, we will work towards improving the circuit.”
The Bundelkhand region boasts of sites like Jhansi fort and several monuments in the vicinity, including temples, the Kalinjar fort in Banda treasuring the best from ancient and medieval architecture, the Charkhari fort and Sun Temple in Kalpi in Mahoba, the Deogarh fort in Lalitpur district with temples dating back to the Gupta period and also Jain temples, and the forts and temples in Chitrakoot. According to experts, the region is not only connected to the Gupta period, but also the country’s struggle for independence. Said an official of the department, “We have our properties in all these locations for accommodation and their proximity with places like Khajuraho and Orchha makes them even more attractive. We just need a plan that can fit things into place.”
After Bundelkhand, the department will also be creating similar projects under the ITDP for Mathura and the NCR region. Said Awasthi, “Through these plans, we can realise the full potential of a destination and offer the best to the tourist.”

Budel Kesri Maharaja Chhatrasal
Budelkhand Kesri Maharaja Chhatrasal (4 May 1649 - 1731) along with Chatrapati Shivaji and Guru Gobind Singh formed a trinity of rebels who rose against Aurangzeb's rule in the 18th century. He fought under the Mughal army initially, but later took up cudgels against the Mughals in Bundelkhand and put an end to their rule in his territories.
He was born in Kachar Kachnai on 4th May, 1649, to Bundela chieftan Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. Early in his childhood he was separated from his parents and then he had made up his mind to fight against the tyrannical rule of the Mughals. As advised by Shivaji- the Maratha warrior, he determined to fight for the independence of Bundelkhand and after his meeting with Swami Mahamati Prannath, Chhatrasal became strong and powerful. Just as Guru Ramdas showed the way to Shivaji so did Mahamati Prannath gave guidance and true knowledge to Maharaja Chhatrasal. It was with his blessings that he could establish the divine kingdom of Panna, as predicted in the scriptures as 'the heavenly kingdom on earth'. Prannath ji guided Chhatrasal in religious, social, political and economical matters. He also granted Maharaja Chhatrasal the boon to find diamonds in Panna. Chhatrasal raised the banner of revolt against the Mughals in Bundelkhand at the age of 22, with an army of 5 horsemen and 25 swordsmen, in 1671. In the first 10 years of his fight, (between 1671 and 1680) Chhatralsal met with enviable success. Within the first 10 years, he had conquered a large tract of land around the region between Chitrakoot and Panna in the east, up to Gwalior in the west, and from Kalpi in the north to Sagar, Garah Kota and Damoh in the south. Some of the reputed Mughal Generals who were defeated by him are Rohilla Khan, Kaliq, Munawwar Khan, Sadruddin, Sheikh Anwar, Sayyid Latif, Bahlol Khan and Abdus Ahmed.
Maharaja Chhatrasal captured Mahoba in 1680. Upon his death in 1732, Chhatrasal bequeathed Mahoba and the surrounding area to the Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao I in return for Baji Rao's assistance against the Mughals.
In the second phase of his struggle between 1681 and 1707, Chhatrasal suffered a few reverses, but because Aurangzeb had also to protect his southern territories which were continually under attack by the Marathas, he was able to resist the Mughals.
After Mahamati Prannath, the entire responsibility of promoting the faith fell on Chhatrasal. Like the Buddha's disciple Emperor Ashoka, Chhatrasal was a talented missionary. He endeavoured to promulgate the Krishna Pranami / Nijanand Sampradaya of Mahamati Prannath. As an organised team both abroad and at home, a learned group of enlightened souls continued propagating and practising the teachings of the Mahamati. By their works and verses drenched in the doctrine of love for the Lord they were the source of great strength for their followers. Their areas of work were sufficiently large and by the sheer fruity of their lives and simplicity of principles they could always get a responsive audience. Noble souls like Laldass, Mukund Dass, Braj Bhushan, Hans Raj, Gopal Dass, jugal Dass to mention a few, were successful in bringing several families on the fold of prananmi cult.
The major centres of this religion are Jam Nagar, Panna, Surat Allahabad, Haridwar, Delhi, Karnal, Jaipur, Kalimpong, Bhiwani, Sherpur etc. A large number of pilgrims flock to these places to take part in the annual congregations. In recent years many scholars have been attracted to this religion and researchers are doing a commendable job to unearth and publicize the main contribution of this religion.

The Bundelkhand food fest is a treat for food lovers

The Hindu Executive Chef Manish at Bundelkhand food festival.
Move aside exotic international dishes. Here's a cuisine that can give signature Indian dishes a royal run for their money. Shocking but interesting, these dishes come from the ‘tribals in the jungle areas of Madhya Pradesh, Jhansi and Indore. Another surprising fact is that these foods are mostly vegetarian and has speciality of Jainism.
Taj Banjara in its effort to introduce these never-before-tried cuisine, bring the Bundelkhand food festival.
Termed as ‘tribal cuisine experience' the uniqueness of the taste lies in the style of preparation; the use of raw materials and extensive consumption of different types of millets. Bundelkhandi cuisine claims its roots back to the Jain cuisne.
The speciality is the unique amalgam of wheat and milk with local culinary products. Bundelkhandi cuisine extensively uses clay pot for the preparation of their food and the fact that it is cooked on firewood gives it a unique flavour. The famous dishes of the region are Kunde Ka Bhatta, Murar ka kebab and Tapu. The rice variety is also unusual, one famous being the Kodu til ka bhaat. The two types of rice widely used in this region are Kodu and Kudki. Kodu til ka bhaat is a preparation of rice with black sesame.
In an effort to preserve and revive this cuisine, Chef Manish from Banjar Tola and Kanha National Park has documented the cuisine. He is brought to the city to share these unexplored flavours with food connoisseurs here.
Most of the dishes contain very little oil and no use of artificial flavours. The dal prepared from green sprouts is to be tried. The kunde ka bhatta is somewhat similar to the traditional baigan ka bharta but it has a different steamed feel to the dish. Also the use of the green egg plant gives the dish a bland taste. The puris of the region are made from bajra and jawari and should be tried. In the non-vegetarian range, fish is generously served. Some dishes are Bhunji Macharia, Macharia ke kebab or Machariya tarkari.
The Bundeli gosht and Sighdi wala kukra are two dishes that needs a special mention. They go well with the masala rice.
The desserts are a few but nevertheless each of them should be tasted. The best of them is the Rass kheer a sweet dish which is prepared by mixing the extracts of the mahua flower with milk and millets no sugar is added in this.
The food fest at Taj Banjara will be on till May 9 only for dinner and a meal for two will cost approximately Rs. 1500.
