Kaliadeh Palace : Situated 8km north of Ujjain, Kaliadeh Palace is situated in an island in the river Shipra. The palace was constructed on a Hindu Sun Temple, the carvings of which still exist on the bridge to this beautiful island. The central hall of the palace is well surrounded with the galleries all over.

Lakshmi Narayana Temple : Situated in Bhopal, this famous temple is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, who is worshipped here by the devotees. One can see a panoramic view of Bhopal from this temple that is situated on the Arera Hills. The temple is also known as the Birla Temple because the construction of this temple was done by the leading industrial family of India i.e. The Birlas. Goddess Lakshmi (the Hindu Goddess of Wealth) and her divine consort, Vishnu (the Preserver of the Universe also known as Narayana) are the main deities of this temple. The sandy-yellowish walls of this temple adds an old-worldly charm to this temple, which are dazzling with shine even today.

Khajuraho : Known for showcasing the World Heritage Site of India, the temples gained their popularity very late. The walls of these historical shrines are best carved with hundreds of very exquisite images that are engraved on the interior as well as exterior walls of these temples. These images definitely remind us of the most glorious past of India. The sensuality of these sculptures adds uniqueness to these temples that can attract anyone towards it. Though some features of these temples are identical- like they are built on higher platforms above the ground level, they all have entrance hall and a sanctum sanctorum, pyramid roofs with horizontal layers etc but this is a truth that all these temples and their architectural designs are different from each other. Some of the famous temples are the Lakshmana and Vishwanath Temples, the Kandriya Mahadev, Jagadami and Chitragupta Temples etc.

Bandhavgarh National Park : Though this National Park is small as compared to others doted across the nation, still the park provides shelter to a wide variety of animals like carnivores, primates, ungulates, reptiles and birds. Spread over an area of about 448sq km, this national park has at least 22 species of mammals and about 250 species of birds.

This prominent centre of religious activities is also known as a centre for astronomy. So, which destination is next in your list to plan a vacation?

Let’s have open Discussion on this Indian IT A

  The first ever documented facts on freedom of speech were way back in 399BC when Socrates speaks to jury at his trial: ‘If you offered to let me off this time on condition I am not any longer to speak my mind… I should say to you, “Men of Athens, I shall obey the Gods rather than you.”‘ Cut two, 2015: Supreme Court struck down Article 66A and the freedom of speech and expressions prevails. Will it happen? Not until we decide to take care of the following: Awareness of rights and responsibilities We all know that the rights and responsibilities are the two sides of the same coin. Before demanding for your rights as the citizens of a country, one must abide by the rules too. While the article 19(1)(a) does gives us the right to freedom of speech and expression, it also has the conditional clause of “reasonable restrictions” under Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India, on the exercise of the right to freedom of speech and expression on the following grounds: • Security of State • F

Let’s all be human first and not men and women !

  “Women Empowerment”, the very topic has been discussed so much in almost every forum and every possible live event that it seems a challenge to write something new and relevant on it.Hence, it’s human empowerment for me. Surprisingly, as per Old English Etymology, the word “man” means “a thinker” or “to have a cognitive mind” and it was used with no reference to gender, i.e., for male and female both. As the civilizations changed, the meaning changed too and today we use men and women, male and female etc. to categorize the humans. It is important for me to refer to these details because the premises on which I am proposing the ideas of women empowerment solely lies on it. What do we have achieved so far? After 68 years of independence, we do have the framework and constitutional rights in place for women to ensure the upliftment and better life for them. The only place we lack is the implementation of the same to every nook and corner of India. The challenge also lies in being the l

Tapping the potential of Indian Youth

  Youth! The UN, for statistical consistency across regions, defines ‘youth’, as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. With 28% of population of India in the age category of 10-24 years, we need to take the risk now or never. As quoted by Swami Vivekananda “Take risks in life, if you win, you can lead! If you lose, you can guide!” Whether we become the leader or a follower is secondary, at least we all will have something to do in life. Easier said than done? May be any of these clicks for us: Start Early When our young gen can handle mobiles, computers, video games and what not; they can learn other skills too during their academic years. The only requirement is to tweak the curriculum and make it more vocation based. Readers from 80’s and 90’s can easily recall the SUPW classes in their school. They learnt vocational skills like candle making, carpentry, embroidery etc. Today, it’s not only essential to make them i
