The world believes it was built by love but reading Shah Jahan’s own words on the Taj, one could say it was grief that built the Taj Mahal and it was sorrow that saw it through sixteen years till completion.
On the bank of river Gomti near the Hardinge Bridge, most popularly known as Pakka Pul or the Laal Pul, stands a beautiful mosque known as the Jami Masjid or Teele Wali Masjid. The exquisite monument is surrounded by the Bada Imambara, Rumi Darwaaza. The entry to the campus of the mosque is adjacent to the Laal Pul. This mosque has been attracting thousands of Muslims not only from Lucknow but from adjacent cities and states. On the occasion of Namaaz-e-Alvida or Juma’tul Vida (the last Friday of the Holy month of Ramzan), the number of people attending the prayer is considered to be the largest in the city. This beautiful mosque was constructed by the Mughal governor during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb (1658-1707). Like many other Mughal monuments in the city, the exact date of construction of the mosque is not specified.
The mosque stands on a mound or a Teela and that is why it is called as Teele Waali Masjid which means the Mosque on the mound. It is stated by few historians that the mound was formed when the Britishers bombarded the eastern gateway of Bada Imambara in the year 1857. The mosque must have been built as the main mosque to provide to the religious needs of the people of the Mughal localities which were built during the Mughal reign. It is also considered that the mosque would have been built for scholar-saint Shaikh Pir Muhammad, who attracted a number of students of higher studies not only from India but also from various other countries.
mosque has three domes and tall minarets which are visible to anyone who takes a look at the mosque. The mosque is raised on a platform made of brick and stone and has a courtyard with a widely spread prayer area which is divided into three compartments amongst which the central one is comparatively larger than the two on either side. In the same manner, the central dome is larger and higher and is crowned by an inverted lotus on the top of dome. The most fascinating feature of the mosque is its large balcony of the Bengal variety above its central arch.

The Rajabai Clock Tower is a clock tower in South Mumbai India. It is located in the confines of the Fort campus of the University of Mumbai. It stands at a height of 85 m (280 ft or 25 storeys). The tower is part of The Victorian and Art Deco Ensemble of Mumbai, which was added to the list of World Heritage Sites in 2018.
The Rajabai Clock Tower was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, an English architect. He modeled it on Big Ben in London.The foundation stone was laid on 1 March 1869 and construction was completed in November 1878. The total cost of construction came to 550,000, a princely sum in those days. A portion of the total cost of construction was donated by Premchand Roychand, a prosperous broker who founded the Bombay Stock Exchange on the condition that the tower be named after his mother Rajabai.
Premchand Roychand's mother was blind and as a staunch follower of Jain religion she was supposed to consume her dinner before evening. Legend says that the evening bell of the tower helped her to know the time without anyone's help.

Lingmala Waterfall, one of the best places to visit in Mahabaleshwar, is located at top of the Venna Valley in Satara district of Maharashtra.
Lingmala Waterfall is visited by thousands of tourists every year as it is one of the top Maharashtra tourist places. The waterfall is situated on the right hand side of the road while travelling from Mahabaleshwar to Panchgani. There is a small signboard indicating the directions to the waterfall. One has to take left turn on a narrow road from the signboard. Drive for around 10 minutes and reach the entrance of the falls. From the gate one has to walk for 1.5 km to reach the smaller waterfall and 2.5 km to reach the main waterfall. There are a lot of stairs en route to the lower deck, so the trek can be a bit tiring, but the route and the views are totally worth it. It takes about 30 minutes from the entrance to reach the lower waterfall.
The best time to visit is from July to October, when the waterfall is at its peak flow. The waterfall can be dangerous in rainy season, so it is not at all advisable to swim.

Hemkund Sahib (also spelled #Hemkunt), formally known as #Gurudwara #ShriHemkundSahib Ji, is a Sikh place of worship and pilgrimage site in Chamoli district, #Uttarakhand, India. It is devoted to Guru Gobind Singh (1666–1708), the tenth Sikh Guru, and finds mention in Dasam Granth, a work dictated by Guruji himself. With its setting of a glacial lake surrounded by seven mountain peaks, each adorned by a Nishan Sahib on its cliff, it is according to the Survey of India located in the Himalayas at an elevation of 4,632 meters (15,197 feet). It is approached from Gobindghat on the Rishikesh-Badrinath highway. The main town near Gobindghat is Joshimath.
#Hemkund is inaccessible from October through April because of snowbound paths and glaciers. Sikh pilgrims arrive in May and set to work to repair the damage to the path over the winter, which tradition is called kar seva ("selfless service"), a concept which forms an important tenet of the Sikh faith.
