Recap: [Hybrid] India, May 18, Explore Birth Place of Ravana & Ravana Temple on Sunday,18th May

This Sunday was absolutely special for me when 10 LGs across Delhi NCR joined this meetup in-person undeterred by the scorching heat. Despite the challenging weather our LGs’ energy and dedication was unmatched.

We started our meetup with Volunteer introduction and shared our Google Maps journey, and then we took a tour of the Place ( Ravana Mandir) which is a unique temple dedicated to Ravana. and also visited Prachin Shiv Mandir which is in the same compound


then we had Virtual meetup where our lovely co-host @Nomad_Enkay @SonamW gave our local guides joined virtually a tour of the place

after this we sat for a quick #ChaipeCharcha (participating in the Challenge created by @TusharSuradkar) where @ShreyaMusings shared update on our Mega Meet preparation over a nice cup of tea and how we can make the Mega Meetup successful


and then after Chai we planned to Drink something Cold to #BeatTheHeat (participating in the Challenge created by @MathanVibranarayan) and headed to a restaurant which was around 4 kms from the mandir, We ordered Cold coffee and Shikanjee which was a saviour and absolute win in 38 degree Celsius temperature

A big thank you to each volunteer who showed up and made the gathering meaningful. Your passion and resilience reminded me what a difference a united community can make.

@Manishhh even the Delhi heat can’t stop a dedicated group of LGs! That Ravan Mandir tour followed by chai and cold drinks sounds like the perfect balance of exploration and beating the heat. Huge props for making it happen! Congratulations all the participants :clap:

Excellent recap post of an amazing meet-up. Congratulations @Manishhh on organizing this special meet-up. It was an honor for all of us to see senior LG @Kumaarsantosh attending the meet-up as well. We all had lots of fun, and learned about the ancient place where Ravana was born.

Wonderful meetup @Manishhh @Ssiddharth2000 @K.K.Sharma @Kumaarsantosh @ShreyaMusings @Hemendu @SonamW and team :handshake:

It was my dream to see a flourishing local guides community in Delhi.

I am happy to see a brand new generation of very different local guides who are 12 times better than those active in and around the year 2020-21.

Thank you @Manishhh for organising this meet up.
Never knew Ravana’s Birthplace was so close from Delhi.
The curiosity and the urge to know more about this place made me forget the heat and the distance .
The enthusiasm each participant carried, was so high, that nothing could stop this event from becoming successful. Kudos to you.

This was my pleasure @Ssiddharth2000 to meet you all in person. I planned couple of in-person meet-up early this year, but other than you and @ShreyaMusings, I could not meet others.

This was a great opportunity for me to say ‘Hello’ to you all and learn from you. Thank you for being there. :hugs:
