Inafact, the Charminar is the main landmark in Hyderabad around which the city has its history and has developed its glory. The 400 years old Hyderabad city without the Charminar will be something like Agra without the Taj Mahal.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Charminar</a> was built by Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah in the year 1591, in the heart of the city, after shifting his capital city from Golkonda to Hyderabad.<br /><br />The Charminar is a beautiful structure built of granite, mortar, crushed marble and lime. If you see the Charminar from a close distance, you will find it to be an elegant and romantic structure, dictating its architectural eminence.<br /><br />It is a square structure with four towers in the four corners. Each side is of 20 meters length. All the sides open into a plaza through huge arches overlooking four major main roads. The arches are 20 meters tall and 11 meters wide. All the minarets have four storeys and stand 24 meters tall from the roof of the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Charminar</a>. The total length of the minarets from the ground to the top is 48.7 meters.<br /><br />On the roof’s western end is a beautiful mosque, which is the oldest, in Hyderabad. The east has a spacious verandah having large and small arches in the middle. From the beautiful balconies at the first floor, you can have a fantastic view of the Hyderabad city.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-65173404089525197822008-02-11T22:53:00.000-08:002008-02-11T22:56:16.506-08:00Lalbagh Botanical Garden, BangaloreThe <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Lalbagh Botanical Garden</a> in Bangalore is one of South Asia’s most abundantly diverse Botanical Gardens. Situated in the Southern part of Bangalore, this beautiful garden was specially made by Hyder Ali, the ruler of Mysore, in the year 1740. Later, his son Tipu Sultan brought many tropical plants to the garden and was also responsible for completion of the garden.<br /><br />Spread over 240 acres of land, this garden was made on the lines of the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Mughal Gardens</a>. The work on the famous Glass House was initiated by John Cameron, the garden’s superintendent, and its design was derived from London’s Crystal Palace.<br /><br />The garden has over 1000 species of plants, many trees aging more than 100 years. Many trees and plants were imported from countries round the globe for the garden. Many rare species of plants were also imported from the Kew Gardens in London in the 1870s. Today, the garden has the largest collection of rare plants in the subcontinent. The Glass House is surrounded by pencil cedars and champak trees.<br /><br />Every year a number of flower shows are organized in the garden. The Karnataka Government also organizes "Janapada Jaatre", in the garden, on the 2nd and 4th weekend of every month. <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">"Janapada Jaatre"</a> means a folk fare, featuring the cultural folklore, the traditional costumes and musical instruments of Karnataka.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-48598778214060293832008-02-08T04:13:00.000-08:002008-02-08T04:19:45.714-08:00The Aga Khan Palace, PuneThe <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Aga Khan Palace</a> of Pune was built in 1892 by Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Agakhan III. He was a well known personality in the fields of politics and sports. He was even elected as the President of the League of Nations in 1938. In 1969 he donated the palace to India as a symbol of admiration to Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophies.<br /><br />This palace is of great historical importance for India. It is a <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">national monument</a> of India’s struggle for freedom. After the launch of the Quit India movement, Gandhiji along with his wife and secretary were put behind bars in this palace. His wife Kasturba Gandhi and Secretary Mahadevbhai Desai passed away during the imprisonment period. Their samadhis are also located in the campus itself.<br /><br />In1980 the administration of the palace, its museum and the samadhis within the campus, were handed over to the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Gandhi Memorial Society</a>. Since then the society has dedicated itself to make the palace a living memorial to Mahatma Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi for which they organize a number of activities all through the year.<br /><br />Now, the palace has become a place of national and international pilgrimage where every year over a lakh of visitors, visit to pay their respect to the samadhis. The palace is surrounded by a big garden which beautifies the palace complex.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-45509000283219464502008-02-06T04:44:00.000-08:002008-02-06T04:45:18.547-08:00Khandala – a hill station in MaharashtraKhandala is a <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">famous hill station</a> in Maharashtra situated on the western slopes of the Sahyadri mountain range at a height of 625 mt. The panoramic beauty of this place decorates it. This place is gifted with abundant natural beauty. Khandala is separated from Lonavala by deep valley on one side and high hills on the other.

It is a city which was primarily built of Red Sandstone, during 1571 and 1585, by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar had actually planned to make this city his capital, but as there was shortage of water in this place, his plans were abandoned. About 20 years later the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Mughal capital</a> was shifted to Lahore.<br /><br />Although the city is now in ruins, yet the remains showcase some of the finest examples of <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Mughal architecture</a>. Most probably this place is the best example of the mixture of Hindu and Muslim architecture. It is believed that the Fatehpur Sikri Mosque is same as the Mecca Mosque and the designs in it are taken from the Hindu and Persian architecture.<br /><br />The prime attractions of Fatehpur Sikri are Diwan-I-Am (Hall Of Public Audience), Diwan-khana-I-khaas (Hall Of Private Audience), Turkish Sultana’s House, Ankh Michauli (the Treasury), Daulat khana-I-khas (the emperor’s private chamber), Palace of Jodha Bai, Hawa Mahal (the Palace of Winds) and Nagina Masjid, Birbal’s Palace, Sunehra Makan (palace of Akbar’s Rajput wife, Mariam-Uz-Zamani), Panch Mahal (airy 5 storeyed pavilion), Dargah Of Sheikh Salim Chisti, The Jami Masjid, and Buland Darwaza.<br /><br />The Dargah of Sheikh Salim Chisti is one of the most famous places in <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Fatehpur Sikri</a>. It is believed that childless women came here to offer prayers and get the blessings of the saint so that they are blessed with children. It is said that even Akbar was blessed with three sons after he visited the dargah. The pattern of work present in the Dargah is one of the finest works that can be found in India. Equally famous is the Buland Darwaza which was built in 1602 AD to celebrate Akbar’s victory over Deccan. It is not only the highest and grandest gateway in India but it is also ranked among the biggest in the entire world.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-1288718856011985272008-02-04T03:28:00.000-08:002008-02-04T03:31:40.080-08:00Delhi’s Akshardham TempleDelhi’s <a href="http://www.indiarover.com">Akshardham temple</a> is a Hindu temple situated on the banks of river Yamuna, near the Nizamuddin area.

The Taj Mahal located in Agra is actually a tomb which was built under the famous Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the memories of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. After Shah Jahan’s death, he was also buried next to his wife’s tomb by his son Aurangzeb.<br /><br />The Taj Mahal is supposed to be the best example of <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Mughal architecture </a>which is a mixture of Persian, Turkish, Indian and Islamic styles. Taj Mahal is a man made marvel and is included in the list of the <strong>Seven Wonders of the World</strong>. It became one of the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">UNESCO World Heritage </a>Site’s in 1983 and is known as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">the world's heritage</a>."<br /><br />Besides the familiar white arched marble tomb, Taj Mahal is also an integrated group of constructions, of white marble, which was designed by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri and completed in around 1648.<br /><br />Taj Mahal attracts large number of visitors every year from all over the world. It is the most famous tourist destination in India. The Taj Mahal stands on the banks of river Yamuna. The car parking lot is built at a distance because polluting traffic is not allowed near the monument as pollution discolour the white marble.<br /><br />In the local markets close to the Taj Mahal you can buy beautiful handicraft items and marble show pieces. You can also buy a Taj for yourself from one of these markets.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-20517380916537975142008-01-28T01:30:00.000-08:002008-01-28T01:36:38.398-08:00Temples of KhajurahoIn the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, is the <a href="http://www.indiarover,com">Khajuraho village</a>. This village has a group of monuments which are included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The large number of medieval Hindu and Jain temples with the famous sculptures has made Khajuraho one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. These temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela kings.<br /><br />The structures of the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com">Khajuraho temples</a> are similar to the style of the north-Indian shikhara temple and also to Panchayatana plan. Few of the temples are Jain temples and the others are Hindu temples. The Hindu temples are dedicated to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and also to different goddesses. <br /><br />These temples are famous for the carvings on their walls. Some of the carvings on the external walls bear bold artistic statements but the art inside the temples or near the gods present simple facts of life. In the temples with two layers of walls, the outer sides of the inner walls have small carvings which depict that a person has to leave his/her luxurious desires outside the temple before seeing the deity. These arts also show that, like the gods, spirituality should also be pure.<br /><br />Most of the carvings on the walls show human, their bodies and also the facts of life. The carvings present the everyday life of a common man in India during that time when they were made. At earlier times when boys were sent to gurukuls(school), through these sculptures they learnt about the world and also made themselves ready to become householders when they grew.DimensionIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08971507400436171559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-22017472989996666222008-01-25T04:37:00.000-08:002008-01-25T04:43:52.067-08:00City Palace JaipurThe main palace of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is known as the <a href="http://www.indiarover.com">City Palace</a>.

Faded memories of the city were retained in some corner of the heart and mind. But, last month I got another chance to tour Hyderabad, the capital of <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Andhra Pradesh</a> for some official training. The day I landed in the city, I could sense the richness of the land. The opulent Nizams of ‘<a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">The City of Pearls’</a>, have beautifully designed this majestic city. The Charminar, The <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Golconda Fort</a>, Qutb Shahi Tombs, Mecca Masjid and several other impressive minarets testify the architectural brilliance of the knowledged designers of the past.<br /><br />With the technological progress, today Hyderabad is counted among of the top IT cities of the country. Most of the leading worldwide brands have their set up in the city. The city has astonishingly blended the old dominion and rustic charisma in the new age of technologies.<br /><br />My <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">trip to Hyderabad</a> was an unforgettable one. I also did lot of shopping there. I bought several pure pearls accessories, handicrafts and traditional footwear.<br />Rich in name and culture, Hyderabad is worth visiting.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-58944750250038744672007-10-31T01:19:00.000-07:002007-10-31T01:20:59.744-07:00Mumbai Tourist Spots<a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Essel World</a> in Mumbai is an interesting amusement park, which has been built in <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">international style</a>.

I have shared so much with this sea & will keep doing. I think all the beaches in our city are best friends of millions of <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Mumbaikars</a>.

So, during these four holidays I took my family for a Delhi tour. There are several <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">tourist spots in Delhi</a>, where you can freak out with family and friends.

What should I say about my dream <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">holidays in Rajasthan</a>. The warm hospitality, royal facilities, lively culture, vibrant festivals and miles of deserts, simply took my breath away. Incredible legends of heroism and romance still echo from its equally amazing architecture that still stands to recite its saga of a golden era. The magic of Rajasthan is unparalleled in the world for its legacy, culture, sand dunes and lush green forests with its wildlife. Rajasthan is often expressed as a colossal open-air museum with historical object so well conserved for the tourists.<br /><a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">Holidays in Rajasthan </a>are fun-filled and action packed with outdoors; move out to Aravali hills for an expedition on horses, camels, elephants or even jeeps, or cuddle yourself on the slipshod sand dunes, or follow a tiger or just watch birds on wetland. I am sure one will definitely enjoy his <a href="http://www.indiarover.com/">holidays in Rajasthan</a>, which has something for everyone, simply indulge in some activity.Rashmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935872016003813994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754354243361965690.post-55256505548621441422007-09-28T04:50:00.000-07:002007-09-28T04:51:54.714-07:00Holidays in BangaloreFamous as IT city of India, Bangalore has much to offer to visitors.
