Jageshwar

Too often, Ekaant (isolation) is associated with ruins. And a place in ruins is heartbreaking, but if anything could be worse, it is a place which still breathes, but no one cares. The Ekaant of ignorance and exclusion. The ousting from memory of a place that was once considered the paanchva dhaam and an unmissable pitstop in the pilgrimage circuit of Uttarakhand. What happened? Human error, vagaries of time or a divine rebuke?
