A trip to Taman Safari Cisarua , Bogor , West Java , Indonesia is amazing. My adventure started as soon our car entered the Animal Forest Park. We were amid the animals which we used to see on Discovery Channels only. This Park serves as the Natural Habitat for the animals from around the World . I liked its unique Thematic Planning which makes this place more interesting and natural. Themes merged with the animals gives a real feel of animal abode. Our car went through the streets of Park up and down enjoying waterfalls , river and mountain forest. It was a dream coming true when a Ostrich came near our car to say HELLOooo. So many Zebras peeping through our windows asking carrots. Deer were too surrounded our car as if asking something to eat. On one side of road Hippos were welcoming us with their open mouth were . The real Adventure started when we entered in the Lion - Tiger area ... The Big CATS were walking along with our car .. One was crossing the road and we had to stop. Others 2-3 were sleeping on the left side at the edge of road. A real Adventure ....
One sight which caught my attention was a BIG REAL TIGER , roaming without a cage . .. when I went closer I was amazed to see the Spirit of Indonesians. There was an Old Goddess DEVI Durga Statue (found in some excavation) and this Tiger was roaming continuously left and right and roaring in front of Goddess Durga as a GUARD. There was a Inscription on the right side of this complex , which reads in both languages Bahasa Indonesia and English as follows - what A Tribute to the CULTURE .

Harimau - Simbol perlendungan & kekuatan Di India satwa ini selalu dikaitkan dengan Dewa & Dewi masyarakatnya.
Masyarakat di Lembah Hindustani mempercayai Dewi Durga datang memberi kedamaian dengan menuggangi Harimau.
Tempat berfoto ini dirancang dengan gaya Budaya India yang dapat membuat anda merasakan nuansa dunia India bersama Harimau hasil pengembangbiakkan Taman Safari Indoesia.
Tigers are found in Siberia , India and South East Asia. Across much of Asia , the Tiger symbolizes Protection , Strength and the Power of Kings.
In India the Tigers often relate to God and Goddesses of India people. For instance the people of Indus Valley believed in the Goddess of Durga as a Force for Peace.
Goddess Durga rode on the back of a Tiger which was seen as the King of the forest - A Power on Earth beyond the reach of any immortal.
This area was built in India Style to make YOU feel the Atmosphere and Culture of the Tiger Homeland.
As India is celebrating 9 days (Navratras) Worshiping of Goddess Durga , this is the right time to share with you all .
Best wishes for Navratras (9 days of Worshiping Goddess Durga).
