Mahabaleshwar


Nestling in the Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats, Mahabaleshwar is the highest hill station in Western India and it as religious and historical associations. My trip to this hill station started from the Bollywood city of Mumbai. I took a bus from Dadar one of the busiest places in Mumbai. The air-condition bus cost Rs. 300 and it will take about four to five hours.

During my trip I did various activities I visited ancient temples, beautiful points of Mahabaleshwar, unforgettable trek to Pratapgad Fort, a stronghold of the Maratha leader Shivaji, boating at lake and finally roamed through the tiny lanes of the bazaar, and did some shopping from luscious strawberries, blackberries, jams and jellies.

Hi,

Even I had been to that place few years back, when I undertook a Maharashtra tour. But you have put it so well with beautiful photographs complimenting it.
I would look forward to reading your posts in future.

Somnathpur finest example of Hoysala architecture

Image
Talakad and Somnathpur is one of the finest examples of Hoysala Dynasty architecture. My drive started from Mysore and it took more than 2 hours to cover 32 kms by road since roads are heavily damaged. Talakad is situated on the left bank of the River Cauvery. It is one of the oldest towns in the state. It was capital of the Gangas [6th century A.D.], Talakad has a number of temples including Vaidyeshware. Most of the temples are buried by sand, a few buildings, including a 12th century Hoysala temple, still poke through the surface. Once every 12 years this surreal temple is dug out for the performance of Panchalinga Darshan, though it doesn’t take long for it to be smothered once again by the sand.

In line with my experience sharing, which was mostly related to travel and what I learn, today I am sharing a different experience which I had in my professional life in the last three months.  It's a different experience, but the one which I always wanted 'connecting with the last mile and helping others.' Before I share the experience I would like to thank Tamilnad Mercantile Bank  (TMB( management for accepting my ideas and giving a free hand, besides money of course :), and Tamil Nadu Government, especially the Chief Minister's Office, Health Secretary and his Department, respective heads of District Health Departments, Block officers, TMB staffs, Police Department and Times Network to execute this project successfully.

Samode Palace Rajput-Mughal architecture

SAMODE PALACE, a magnificent example of Rajput-Mughal architecture, it boasts some of the finest frescoes and mirror-work in Rajasthan. The 150-year-old Samode Palace stands in serene sprawling splendour on a hilltop at the end of a dusty road and bad road, an hour's drive from Delhi - Jaipur highway. The palace surrounded by Aravali Mountain. I was travelling from Delhi to other places in Rajasthan via Samode Palace i spent two nights in this royal palace which is the best place to experience desert hospitality.
