BEYOND THE HIMALAYAS - EPISODE 2 - IN SEARCH OF BUDDHA
In 1994, soon after the break-up of the Soviet Union, I led the Central Asia Expedition - a 12,000 km journey across Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Chinese Turkestan (Xinjiang) and Tibet.
The purpose of the journey, besides adventure, was to renew India's ancient academic and cultural links with the people of Central Asia.
The expedition was conceived and organised by Major HPS Ahluwalia, President of Youth Exploring Society.
The 5-part serial on the expedition, commissioned by Doordarshan, was produced by Michael Haggiag and directed by Goutam Ghoshe.
The detailed account of the expedition is given in my book Silk Road on Wheels.
Episode 2 covers Chinese Turkestan or Xinjiang - as well as Xian.

Marina Beach is a natural urban beach in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, along the Bay of Bengal. The beach runs from near Fort St. George in the north to Foreshore Estate in the south, a distance of 6.0 km, making it the longest natural urban beach in the country. The Marina is primarily sandy, unlike the short, rocky formations that make up the Juhu Beach in Mumbai. The average width of the beach is 300 m and the width at the widest stretch is 437 m. Bathing and swimming at the Marina Beach are legally prohibited because of the dangers.
Chennai's temples are grand and ornate, with sculptures of Hindu gods carved into pyramid-like towers that rise above their entrances. Inside, devotees pray in front of statues or stand in line for the free vegetarian lunch, often shared with non-Hindus.
Some of the grandest of these centuries-old landmarks are in the Mylapore neighborhood, with most of the action centered on Kapaleeshwarar Temple. Here you can buy flowers and souvenirs and watch pilgrims light lamps in front of deities. Like many temples it's lit up at night, casting colorful reflections on the neighboring pond.
The Chennai Lighthouse, formerly the Madras Lighthouse, is a lighthouse facing the Bay of Bengal on the east coast of the Indian Subcontinent. It is a famous landmark on the Marina Beach in Chennai, India. It was built by the East Coast Constructions and Industries in 1976 replacing the old lighthouse in the northern direction. The lighthouse was opened in January 1977. It also houses the meteorological department. On 16 November 2013, it was reopened to visitors. It is one of the few lighthouses in the world with an elevator. It is also the only lighthouse in India within the city limits. It is also a green lighthouse, with a solar panel for power.
