#Sagnam in #PinValley is a sight to behold during winters, as this structure stands out amidst the snow covered mountains, adding character to the scenic landscape.
Located at #TheRidge's east end is the striking #ChristChurch that has Victorian coloured glass windows. It opened in 1846 and is one of the oldest surviving churches in northern India and #Shimla's most famous landmark.
Can't decide what I love more: This building or its backyard garden? .

In Bombay, open spaces that don't literally break you into a sweat, are a real blessing! The David Sassoon Library garden is one such beautiful, welcoming space. Tall trees with huge canopies are a natural acoustic barrier, cuts all noise from the busy road. And the garden has SWINGS!! Aur kya chahiye?

Chand Baori: Moon Well ,some say that it is the most photographed Stepwell in India though not exactly on Golden Triangle route but for those who are interested can make that detour.
Many in today's time may wonder about the utility of constructing such Stepwells in those times. But in a land which has a precident of recieving limited rainfalls and having no major rivers , constructing Stepwells and artificial water reservoirs was the only way to conserve rain water. Though there is not much information is available about this structure but looking at the massiveness of this Stepwell it would not be wrong to say that it definitely was on an important trade route.

#KesariyaStupa was one of the earliest #BuddhistStupas. Although some historians believe that the stupa belongs to Ashoka's period, the stupa mound may even have been inaugurated during the Buddha's time, as it corresponds in many respects to the description of the stupa erected by the Licchavis of Vaishali to house the alms bowl the Buddha has given them

Presenting the National Salt Satyagraha Memorial ☀️
An experiential journey recreating the spirit and the energy of the 1930 #Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi and 80 of his fellow Satyagrahis, taking the visitors to the Monument step-by-step in order to visualise and understand the history of the historic Salt March and the methodology of Satyagraha, which finally led to India’s Independence from the British colonial rule. So glad to be working with Goverment of India, IIT Bombay and SGC on this project.
