Agra Travel Guide
Perhaps no other historical monument has evoked as much awareness and admiration
from tourists and travellers alike, as the magnificent Taj Mahal - fondly
called by people as the ultimate requiem of love, from a great Mughal Emperor
to his beloved. So overwhelming is the exquisite beauty and presence of this
marble mausoleum that centuries later today, even the very land where it has
been located - Agra - has been immortalised as the City of the Taj. Yet, it
doesn't take much for the roving eye to discover that there's more to Agra
than just the fabled Taj Mahal.

Khajuraho Travel Guide
In the temple architecture of India, the Khajuraho complex remains unique.
One thousand years ago, under the generous and artistic patronage of the Chandela
Rajput kings of Central India, 85 temples, magnificent in form and richly
carved, came up on one site, near the village of Khajuraho. The amazingly
short span of 100 years, from 950 AD - 1050 AD, saw the completion of all
the temples, in an inspired burst of creativity. Today, of the original 85,
only 22 have survived the ravages of time; these remain as a collective paean
to life, to joy and to creativity; to the ultimate fusion of man with his
creator.

Pushkar Travel Guide
Brahma forms the great Hindu trilogy of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, each symbolising
the lifecycle of birth, preservation and destruction. Brahma the creator is
depicted as of four bearded heads and four hands each holding a book of Vedas
(knowledge). His vehicle is the swan and his consort is Savitri. According
to the legend Pushkar means a pond created by flower, was formed when Brahma
dropped a lotus flower on the earth to determine a place for his yagna, a
holy sacrifice. The story goes that Brahma wanted to perform the yagna at
the most auspicious time but his consort Savitri whose presence at the yagna
was vital for its performance kept him waiting. Irritated by this Brahma married
Gayatri, a milkmaid and installed her instead. Savitri on seeing someone else
in her place was infuriated and cursed Brahma that he would be forgotten by
people on earth and never worshiped. She relented on pleas from other Gods
that he could only be worshiped in Pushkar, hence there are no Brahma Temples
elsewhere.
