Tilaiya Lake Photographs

Have you ever heard of Jhumari Tilaiya? If you have interest in music, the answer will definitely be yes. I do not belong to this place but I have nostalgia for this place since I am hearing name of this place since my childhood on "All India Radio" & Radio Srilanka (Ceylone). I have a great fascination for this place and I had an specific image of this place in my mind. I never imagined that I'll be visiting this place in future that was about 1200 km away from my native place 'Delhi'. As per my imagination this place could be a small village inhabited by few residents of a hamlet. This village could be located in the mountains and surrounded by water bodies. When I had a luck to visit this place I was amazed to find that most of the things were in place as per my imagination.
Once Koderma (city adjacent to Tilaiya) was known for production and export of Mica and several businessmen have their palatial houses in Koderma (adjacent to Tilaiya). However, demand of Mica has declined now after collapse of Russia and Mica has also been substituted by other synthetic products. On inquiring about the scenic beauty and spots of tourist's interest, I was told by local people to visit the Tilaiya Sainik School and Tilaiya Dam where electricity is produced utilized water from the Dam. I was amazed to see the beauty of the place and surprised to find that State Govt. has done very little to develop this place as the tourist place to improve people's earning.Had it been in any other state people residing in this place may have got opportunity to generate more revenue serving tourist's needs.
Location
Presently, Jhumari Tilaiya have got in prominence due to "Sainik School" and "Tilaiya Dam". Water of the Tilaiya Dam is used to generate electricity and irrigate farmers' land. Tilaiya Dam was constructed on the Barakar river. Scenic beauty of the place is difficult to describe in words. Dam is located about 18 km away from Koderma railway station and same distance from nearest point on GT Road called Barahi. I visited this place in 2008 and posted some photos on this hub. Few days back I have one more opportunity to visit this place and snapped few more photographs. Comparing both photos I observed that recent photos are more interesting and I updated this hub by replacing few old photos and uploading more photos.

jhumri Telaiya is a small town in the state of Jharkhand, India. It's in the district Koderma, which is quite famous for Mica, Coal and Kalakand. Though it’s NOT a tourist place, it’s still hugely popular in Hindi films/songs (in a humorous way).
telaiya is one of the best place of jharkhand
Proud of India.
i am really missing my telaiya after seeing these pix.i am feeling like going there right now. i wish a gennie could come and take me there.
the photos published reminds me of my old days.it gave me the clear picture showing the differance of past present. thus my memory came afresh.
Good old days at sanik School passed thru my eyes when i ran thru the fotos.Having passed out in 1983 I never had an opportunity to be back to the campus.The fotos have ignited the urge to visit the school. Thanks for beautiful fotos and evrything.
kya sexy image hai
thanks rajiv and captain Himansu, I never realised before placing these photographs that these photographs may bring nostalgia back to persons like you. I'll try to post more photos like this if I get an opportunity to visit tilaiya. I'll try to get to place again even if i've to break my journey again.
Thanks a ton for posting these fotos,I am sure you must have touched many hearts,like you touched mine.We are what our memories are & you reboted the pleasant memories.Tks to the internet age that I cud see the fotos when I am thousand miles away in Tema/Ghana(on a ship).After having passed out from SST in 1977,always felt tt must visit the school & the fotos have given a boost to that urge.Tks again,
Capt Hiamnshu Shekhar at Tema/Ghana.
Fantastic Photograph. All the places are more beautiful than as I left 10years back. i spent 20 years living in DVC Tilaiya Dam including 7 years of schooling in Sainik School. i haven't seen the place physically for the last 10years i cannot resist my temptation to visit soonest possible after looking at your's nice picture
thanks satyendra singh for such nostalgic comments. I never realized that these photographs will be so popular. I'll again go to this place and add more photographs whenever I get a chance.
Really i miss the days what i used to enjoy having a tift with my seniors,really it gives me immense pleasure when i go through the recent photos on the page
thanks rajiv, radhe shyam and vikramaditya for enjoying photographs.
excellent photographs
As you have writen in your comment that since you heard this name in your childhood while listening programs based on songs tuned in "All India Radio". Every third or fourth listener of these programs belonged to Jhumari Tilaiya. perhaps you know about the person who have made famous this place the only one person was Late RAMESHWER BERNWAL. He was the person who used to send request for songs. So, there was not third or fourth listener was from JHUMRI TILAIYA he was one and only Late RAMESHWAR BERNWAL.
Nice pictures and this reminded me of my school days at SST and the dam and many good memories. this was nice of u to get down to just visit the place in middle of no-where.
