Unveiling the Secrets of Chambal: Embarking on a Boat Safari in Dholpur

Embarking on a boat safari along the Chambal River in Dholpur is like stepping into a realm where time seems to stand still, and nature’s wonders unfold before your eyes. The Chambal River, once known as Charmanvati, has a storied past steeped in ancient legends and mythological tales. According to the epic Mahabharata, its origins are traced back to the blood of sacrificial animals by the Aryan King Rantideva, and it served as the southern boundary of the Panchal Kingdom ruled by King Drupad. Legends of curses and unholy origins have shrouded the Chambal in mystique, preserving its purity and making it one of India’s most pristine rivers.

Established in 1978, the Chambal River Sanctuary sprawls over 5,400 square kilometers across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Within its boundaries lie approximately 400 kilometers of the Chambal, which serves as a lifeline for a rich diversity of flora and fauna. The sanctuary aims to restore ecological health and protect endangered species like the gharial, creating a safe haven for wildlife to thrive.

As you embark on a boat safari, the tranquil waters of the Chambal beckon, promising a journey into the heart of nature’s untouched beauty. Guided by expert naturalists, you’ll glide along the river’s meandering course, flanked by rugged ravines on one side and lush vegetation on the other. Keep your eyes peeled for rare sightings of Ganges River Dolphins, graceful Mugger Crocodiles, Indian Skimmer, and an array of migratory birds from distant lands.

The Chambal boat safari offers more than just wildlife sightings; it’s an immersive experience that connects you with the pulse of nature. Listen to the gentle lapping of the water against the boat, breathe in the fresh air scented with the fragrance of wildflowers, and feel the thrill of anticipation as you await your next encounter with nature’s wonders.

Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a curious traveler seeking to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, a Chambal boat safari promises an unforgettable experience. Discover the hidden treasures of Dholpur’s wilderness as you embark on a journey through time and nature along the enchanting Chambal River.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
