Stunning! The snow-covered Hemkund Sahib
Location: Chamoli
Did you know that the current Hemkund Sahib gurdwara was designed by Major General Harkirat Singh (external link) in the mid-1960s?
It has, however, existed much before that and Guru Gobind Singh, to whom it is dedicated, is believed to have spent 10 years here to focus on his meditation.
Located at a height of around 14,000 feet, it is surrounded by seven Himalayan peaks, each of which has a fluttering Nishan Sahib (the triangular Sikh flag that is imprinted with the khanda).
When fluttering snowflakes gently touched the Hemkund Sahib, it made for a beautiful sight.

Why Rahul Gandhi climbed a water tower

And lives in a container.
These are just some of the things Rahul Gandhi has been doing during his on-going Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Except, of course, when -- along with Karnataka Pradesh Congress President D K Shivakumar and former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah -- he climbed a water tank in the state's Chitradurga district to wave the Tiranga.
The Yatra, which began in Kanyakumari, will end in Kashmir.
The yatris, headed by Rahul Gandhi, aim to cover 25 km every day and a total of 3,500 km by the time they finish their journey next year.
