The city of Jaisalmer conveys immense pleasure, as you will find yellow sand dunes all through and enjoy the camel safari there. At Jaisalmer, Don't miss out visiting Jaisalmer Fort, Gadsisar Lake, Ludrava and Aakal. In the Thar desert, in the northwest India, in a place where the exotism and color of the Indian cities meet the calm and hilly shape of the desert sands, the camels are moving. They do so for centuries. Their bosses have carried the goods along the Silk Road, have fed teeming populations, have walked over sands that bind cities, leaving behind the marks of the deep steps into a world of mystery and fantasy.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> The Indian epic texts gave the desert a name that linked it to religion and spices: Lavanasagara, the Salt Ocean, that was born on a distance from the River Sarasvati, one of the main rivers mentioned in the Rig Veda ancient Hindu texts. Jaisalmer appears in the middle of the desert as a shining city of light, crowned by the unusual shape of the castle. The streets are crowded every day by the local merchants, the gypsy girls dancing in an undulating movement to the sound of a music emanating from the unusual strings and percussion instruments. Somewhere among them, we can still hear the rawanhathha, a typical local guitar, with its unique sound that nowadays, only a few know how to play.</span></span></span></div>

Auroville is an experimental township in the erstwhile French colony of Pondicherry.It belongs to no one in particular but the people who manage its affairs are influenced by the words of Sri Aurobindo, poet, nationalist, philosopher and The Mother, who was his spiritual partner. Located at a distance of 8 kms from north-west Pondicherry is The Auroville city. The City of Dawn as it is called was conceived as a place for research into the ideal of human unity by Mirra Alfassa the spiritual collaborator of Sri Aurobindo. Auroville came into existence on 28th February 1968. Soil from 124 countries was kept in a lotus-shaped urn and mixed to symbolize universal oneness during its inauguration. Auroville was built initially as a city where people could live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, politics, and nationalities.<br />

Roger Anger designed Auroville and at present, nearly 2000 people reside there with settlements named as Grace, Fraternity, Fertile, Certitude, and Transformation. Approximately two-thirds of the people living in the city are non-Indians.<br />
The main attraction here is the "Matrimandir" - With water pooling in from different sides, the sound of the water and cool breeze which always flows provides a perfect atmosphere for meditation. The mandir is an architectural masterpiece with a 30m high globe with a lotus-shaped foundation urn. The entry is free of costs, and you can only buy the tickets in person at the venue, not online. The walk from the entry gates to the center takes around 10-12 minutes.<br />
The best way to experience Auroville ashram is to actually just sit in one of the cafes, and talk to some of the residents here about their experience of living in the city - you would be surprised to find out how much the people living here love the concept and the life.</div>

Arborist, worshipper, commoner. No matter whoever you are, know about the fantasy tree that still exists in kintoor, Lucknow. That tree is originally referred as Parijaat Tree, baobab tree. This tree is cherished by the order of local district magistrate, any kind of damage to the tree is strictly prohibited. Baobab tree in modern science which is sprung in Sub-Sahara Africa and hence its presence in the fertile land of India makes it precious. The age of the tree is still not determined, which makes it quite possible that the tree may have been planted by someone who used to travel between India and Africa. The tree needs the international attention of scientists to find out more about it. The tree is also known as 'the tree from paradise' due to its mythological significance.<br />
There are a number ancient temples around that place. There are myths about this tree. Near a temple established by Kunti who is a mother of the Pandavas, is a special tree called Parijaat which is said to grow from Kunti's ashes. There are a number of sagas about this tree which has popular embrace. Also, there is an oral history that Arjuna brought this tree from heavens and Kunti used to offer and crown Lord Shiva with its flowers. Another saying being, that Lord Krishna brought this tree for his beloved queen Satyabhama or Rukmini. Historically, though these saying may have some bearing or not, it is true that this tree is from a very ancient background. According to the Harivansh Puran, the Parijaat Tree is a Kalpavriksha, or wish bearing tree, which, apart from this tree, is only found in heaven. Newly-weds visit the tree for blessings, and every Tuesday a fair is held where local people worship the tree. The flower from the tree is referred to as the Parijat flower.<br />
Our younger peer group has been brought up in this newfangled lifestyle, take a break and visit sacred places and enjoy listening to the epics and sagas.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Why are they baptized as TODAS? TODAS live in small groups in the Nilgiri plateau. TODAS HOUSE-TODAS live in small tent or hut like houses referred as 'mund'. They are built of bamboo fastened with rattan and thatched roof. Thicker bamboo canes are arched to give the hut its basic pent shape. Dried grass is mounded over a roof. Initially, they coexisted with other local community people like badgas,kota and kurumba. But later they isolated from them, because of 'detestation of their appearance, customs, attire by other community people'. They make money from rearing Buffalo, trading with Nilgiri neighbor people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><img height="245" src="https://thepicsiclick.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/chhota-imambara-edited.jpg?w=768&h=294" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The most beautiful and attractive building in the old city Lucknow is Chota Imambara. It is also called as Imambara of Hussainabad. In 1839, Mohammed Ali Shah in his second rule he built this Imambara. Many people in the city believe this building was built as a token of allegiance to his faith. When the king was in his 63 years old and unwell he was chosen by the British and crowned as the King of Oudh (third king). Azim-ullah Khan was been appointed as a superintendant of the building department for the King and he supervised the Hussainanabad Imambara building. The building is known as the Palace of Lights since during the special festivals like Muharram its decorations look good. In the pillars of the main Tripolia gateway his contributions are been recorded in two Persian inscriptions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It is located near the Bara Imambara on the connecting road stands well known as Rumi Darwaza. We can also see several chandeliers used to decorate the interior of this building. These chandeliers are been brought from Belgium. There are also large and smaller gold-plated domes which can be seen by all people from far away. There are tombs for Mohammed Ali Shah and for his family members – his daughter and for her husband inside Imambara. The tombs seem to be a replica of Taj Mahal. We can see two triple arched gateways called as Tripolia gateways in the east and west as entrance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br /><img height="480" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Imambara_Amin-ud-daula_Chota_imambara_5.JPG" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We can see the walls decorated with Arabic calligraphy. Outside of the Imambara building there is a watchtower named as Satkhanda or tower of seven stories though it has only four stories. We can see the Gomti River near Imambara whereas the water from the Gomti River is supplied for the fountains inside the Imambara.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As a future reader the King, Mohammed Ali Shah and his Queen Malka deposited an amount of Rupees Twenty six lakh with the East India Company. They formed a Trust to maintain their religious buildings to observance of Muharrum and other religious functions. This attracts people from far off the towns and the rural areas.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hyderabad is a land of kings and royalty, filled with many
palaces, lakes and resorts. The first famous palace is King Kothi
Palace. You will realize at first sight the exquisite architecture of
palace with lavish rooms which includes beautiful sculptures,
paintings and portraits. It includes antique books, rare manuscripts
which reflects the glorious past of Hyderabad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Very frequently
referred to as the ‘Pride of the Deccan’ – Hyderabad is one of the
most spectacular cities in India. One young prince, Muhammad Quli was
madly in love with a maiden from Chichlam vil – Bhagmati. He built a
Charminar there and he renamed the village Bhagnagar. This city later
turned out to be called by the name of Hyderabad.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The royal King Kothi Palace is an excellent piece of example of
inspiration and influence of European Architecture. It was built by
Kamal Khan and named it with the sign of “K K”. Later,it was sold to
Nizam when he expressed his desire for the palace. Nizam felt it to be a
pride to have those abbreviations, so he passed a ferman and changed “ K
K” to King Kothi which means Kings Mansion. Thus the name King Kothi
was brought into existence.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cochin, also known as Kochi, is a major port on the south-west
coast of India in the state of Kerala. It is known as the Queen of the
Arabian sea. With an extensive history of being occupied by the
Portuguese, and later by the Dutch and the British, it was the first of
the European colonies in India. With a rich history, culture and
heritage, it is one of the best tourist places to visit in India.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><strong>1. Mattancherry Palace</strong>:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.icityzoom.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="mattan" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-157" height="480" src="https://icityzoom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/mattan.jpg?w=662&h=497" width="640" /></a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Mattancherry Palace was gifted to the Raja of Kochi, Veera Kerala
Varma by the Portuguese in 1555. The palace was later renovated in 1663
by the Dutch, which gave it an alternate name, The Dutch Palace. The
Mattancherry neighbourhood is full of colonial buildings. The palace
lacks the grandeur that is often expected of a palace; however, there is
a small museum and some rare art inside, including paintings of
previous kings and some preserved Hindu murals, depicting scenes from
the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranic legends in intricate
detail. People who love history should definitely check this place out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <strong>2. Kerala Folklore Theatre and Museum:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><strong><a href="http://www.icityzoom.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="kerala-folklore-theatre" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-158" src="https://icityzoom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/kerala-folklore-theatre.jpg?w=662" /></a> </strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Kerala Folklore Theater and Museum is a privately owned museum
located in the outskirts of Ernakulam. Opened in the year 2009, the
museum showcases the rich heritage that Kerala exudes through its
numerous art and dance forms. Artifacts that bear the scent of bygone
era like masks, sculptures, in wood, stone and bronze, costumes of
traditional and ritual art forms, musical instruments, traditional
jewelry, manuscripts of rare medicinal and astrological secrets, and
Stone-Age utensils are all preserved in this museum with utmost care. It
is a great place to start if you are interested in learning about
Kerala’s culture. Its architecture is magnificent. Stage performances
usually take place at 6.30 p.m. everyday.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Built by the early Jewish traders in 1568 adjacent to the
Mattancherry Palace, this synagogue was partially destroyed by the
Portuguese and rebuilt again by the Dutch. It features an ornate gold
pulpit and elaborate hand-painted, willow-pattern floor tiles from
Canton, China, which were added in 1762. It’s magnificently illuminated
by Belgian chandeliers and coloured-glass lamps. The graceful clock
tower was built in 1760. Shorts, sleeveless tops, bags and cameras are

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><strong></strong>St. Francis Church was built in 1503. It has great historical
significance and is considered to be the oldest European church in
India. The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama died in Kochi in 1524 and
his body was originally buried in this church, but after fourteen years
his remains were removed to Lisbon. Originally built by the portugese,
it was subsequently claimed by the Dutch and British.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1. Aliyar Dam: </span></h2>
<h1 class="entry-title">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.icityzoom.com/"><img alt="AliyarReservoir" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-140" height="253" src="https://icityzoom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/aliyarreservoir.jpg?w=662&h=262" width="640" /></a> </span></h1>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">Aliyar is a reservoir near Pollachi town in Coimbatore District.
Located in the foothills of Valparai, it is about 65 kilometres from
Coimbatore. The dam offers some ideal getaways including a park, garden,

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. Kodiveri Dam:</span></h3>
<a href="http://www.icityzoom.com/"><img alt="kodiveri" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-141" height="359" src="https://icityzoom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/kodiveri.jpg?w=662&h=372" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kodiveri Dam is located on the Bhavani River. The name ‘Kodiveri’ is
originated from ‘kodivari’ in Tamil meaning ‘Tiger’, which represents
the forest area around the Dam where large number of tigers lived. The
Maharaja of Mysore constructed the dam in the 17th century by harnessing
the strength of a workforce that included his prisoners and elephants. A
20-foot wall of rock was carved in order to construct the dam. The
stones were then interlocked with iron bars and lead was used as mortar.
These are, however, not visible except in the dry season when the water
level in the river drops considerably. Some improvement were carried
out during the British rule without tampering the original design. The
lush green fields around are a pleasure to watch. For tourists, it is a
great place to eat delicious fresh fish and bob in the water on a
coracle.</span><br />
