Gaurav Path – A different side of Raipur!

Raipur is a man-made dust bowl! It looks like cleanliness is the last thing on the minds of the Raipur city development officials.

And to make it worse is the umpteen amount of raw and waste materials from various construction sites around the city that keep keep bellowing dust all sides.

But, within this dust bowl, is a place, which the people of Raipur can proudly call Paradise.

That place is Gaurav Path!! Straight and wide roads and no dust in the air!! The peripheries are dotted by beautifully kept gardens!!

But the icing on the cake are the brilliant sculptures and carvings of animals and mother nature that catch your attention.

The bullock carts, so symbolic with most of India is a real treat. The lions symbolize pride and power and the bull’s head symbolizes strength.

It is indeed extremely refreshing just to sit here and admire these crafts even if it is for a short while.
