00:00Every house has a special identity, whose vitality is formed by the people living here, by the animals, by the environment around it.

00:09Today we are going to introduce you to a house that has its own story.

00:14This house is in the Panjipur area of Benaras, whose name is Totewala Ghar.

00:19Eight people live in this house, but the beauty of this house is formed by the hundreds of birds living here.

00:27These birds include parrots, crickets, pigeons, and bulbuls,

00:32who come to this house every morning and evening and roam in the surrounding environment.

00:40First of all, look at these hundreds of birds living in Totewala Ghar.

00:45Every morning, these birds come to this house with their parrots and work here to graze.

00:52The whole area around the house is filled with the sound and play of the birds.

01:01The head of this house, Jayprakash Singh, takes care of these birds.

01:05Jayprakash Singh says that he decided to serve these birds since 2000.

01:11There used to be a cowherd in his lane, for whom he used to put grains first.

01:16After that, a pair of parrots came, who used to eat these grains.

01:20In the last 24 years, more than 1500 parrots have come to his house and work to eat the grains every morning and evening.

01:31Jayprakash Singh says that these parrots are like his family.

01:35When these parrots do not come, the whole area around his house feels empty.

01:40He says that these parrots travel 30-40 kilometers every day to come here.

01:45This is the only place in Banaras where so many parrots can be seen.

01:52He says that the main meal of these parrots is rice.

01:56They are given rice every morning and evening.

01:59They eat a lot of rice.

02:02We started this campaign in 2002.

02:05Two cowherds used to come to my house.

02:09We started giving them some rice.

02:14Then a pair of parrots started coming.

02:17We gave them more rice and grains.

02:20The parrots that ate the rice and left our house,

02:24they called out to all the parrots on their way.

02:29They called out to all the parrots on their way.

02:34Gradually, the number of parrots increased.

02:38Today, around 700-800 parrots come to our house.

02:45The number of parrots is less, but the number of parrots is the highest.

02:49On Saturdays, around 1,400-1,500 birds come to our house.

02:52They come to our house in the morning and evening.

02:54When there is a new crop in the field, the number of parrots increases.

02:59When the crop is ready, the number of parrots increases.

03:05When there is a new crop in the field, the number of parrots increases.

03:09We enquire about the parrots 20 times.

03:12They don't come today, they don't come today, they don't come today.

03:15We are worried that they are hungry today.

03:19We do this so that other people can do it too.

03:24Because only this will go together and nothing else in the world will go together.

03:28We are called the house of parrots.

03:31We got this inspiration from Ashok Agrawal Dhoopchandi.

03:36He always encouraged us to never stop working.

03:40You are very lucky that so many birds come to your roof.

03:44That's why we give them two hours, two and a half hours in the morning and evening.

03:48Apart from this, we also take care of the bulls, dogs, medicines.

03:53We stop the animals that pass by our shop and give them medicines.

04:01We do it with what we have in our hands, otherwise we call the doctor.

04:05His wife also helps him a lot in this work.

04:09The day he doesn't stay, she feeds these birds in the morning.

04:14She takes care of them.

04:16She says that it feels good when our house is known as the house of parrots.

04:21These birds are like members of our family for us.

04:25The day they don't stay, our world feels empty.

04:29We feed them.

04:31We help them.

04:33If they don't stay, we call the workers to feed them.

04:40It feels very good.

04:42They spread all over the roof.

04:45They come at 3.30 in the morning.

04:47They come so much that no one moves.

04:49They hide.

04:50They eat everything and leave.

04:51It's a pity that they don't eat today.

04:53Or when it starts raining, they fly away.

04:55It feels like a child.

04:58When I come here, I see that there are a lot of parrots and birds.

05:04There are pigeons.

05:06I have been in Benaras for 20-22 years.

05:08But I have not seen so many parrots and birds anywhere other than this house.

05:13How do you feel?

05:14It feels very good.

05:15Sometimes I have to come to my brother's house to see them.

05:20What kind of inspiration do you get from them?

05:26I am a little busy myself.

05:30But I call my family when I see my brother.

05:34It is the National Bird Day.

05:37Jai Prakash Singh, who lives in Benaras, is not only making people aware of birds.

05:44He is also giving a different message about how to love and care for birds.

05:52Jai Prakash says that we have only one request.

05:56CM Yogi Adityanath, PM Narendra Modi, wherever flyovers are made, government buildings are built, big buildings are built.

06:04There must be a small nest for these birds to live.

06:08So that these birds can get a means of food to live.

06:13So that the way they are disappearing, their generation is ending.

06:19It can be saved.

06:21I want to tell our Chief Minister Yogi that all the government buildings, over bridges,

06:29all the buildings should have a nest for the birds.

06:33To make use of the house of the bird, the engineer or the OCR should encourage it.

06:40That there should be a nest on every building.

06:43We want that all the private and government buildings should be built.

06:49On their roofs, outside, in safe places, people should definitely use the nest.

06:55It can be said that the house of the bird built in Pandipur area of Benaras

07:02is not only giving an example of how people should love birds,

07:08but it is also creating a beautiful and happy world for these birds.
