Jammu & Kashmir
If God truly exists, you can find him vacationing in Jammu & Kashmir. The state is no stranger to the compliments for its divine beauty. Amidst the border tension, presence of the military and internal disturbance, the state of Jammu & Kashmir has never failed to attract tourists from around the world. Those who have visited Kashmir have become its lovers and those who have not; J&K is their dream destination. The lush flower valley, snow clad mountains, natural lakes, the Moghul and Tulip Gardens have all added up to the untainted beauty of Jammu & Kashmir. This northern state of India is blessed with many well -known beautiful destinations and also with gems yet to be discovered by travellers and tourists.

The sight of cascading streams of Jhelum and Indus rivers along the roads of Kashmir is mesmerising and the sound of gushing waters soothing. Srinagar, the summer capital of the state, is situated on the bank of Jhelum River. The city is home to the famous Dal Lake, where you can spot and enjoy the ride of canopied Shikara boats. The floating vegetable market, lavish houseboats, bountiful flora and fauna, Char Chinars, Nishat and Shalimar Baghs bring alive a ravishing picture of Srinagar. Adding to the city’s blissfulness are the Hazaratbal Shrine, Jama Masjid and Shankracharya Temple.

Much of her writing deals with the visual aspect of the religion, and how it is more about the spirituality rather than the actual image itself. Within each chapter she hit on other major details within in the Hinduism. However this essay will discuss the specific concepts such as pilgrimage to certain sites, importance of the visual aspect, and how the construction is a religious discipline in itself.…

    Behind Mud Walls Paper

    • 2119 Words
    • 9 Pages

    In order to understand India, one needs to understand its villages. Behind Mud Walls does a great job in providing a detailed background of an ordinary village life in India. Since seventy percent of Indians live in villages, it is important to learn about village lifestyle and the changes that take place in it. Only then one can learn about the cities because one needs to understand the relationship between the two in India. Behind Mud Walls provides the opportunity to examine a north Indian village from a non-Indian point of view; in other words, a non-biased point of view. Since the book is broken up into parts by years, it gives the reader a great way to examine the changes that take place in this village; it shows how it was then and how it is now. Karimpur in 1930 was very different from Karimpur in the 80’s and 90’s. Many changes were observed by Wisers and Susan Wadley, who writes the later chapters in the book. These changes were social, economic, educational, technological, political and cultural but most significant of these were social, and educational. The social changes with an emphasis on role of women, the slowing down of the Jajmani system and the rise in education will be the focus of this paper.…

    Polonius is much like that of Simon. Just like Simon, who finds out what the beast really is, Polonius listens in on Hamlet talking to his mother and figures out the truth about why Hamlet is really upset. Because he discovered this very much needed piece of information he is tragically killed by Hamlet. Just like Simon is killed by the group of boys before he even gets the chance to tell anyone about what he had discovered. Between the books of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet and Golding's novel Lord of the Flies there are a variety of connections between the two books that correlate to each other. One relation is the small, restricted location that the stories take place in. In Hamlet it happens to be the castle, in Lord of the Flies it is the island. At these locations is where all of the weirdness begins to spill out of the cup. For example: murder, betrayal, and the insanity of the characters.…

    Pilgrimage to a sacred place as an act of religious devotion is an age-old tradition, followed by religions all over the world. The fact that it is often carried out on foot, is an older form and has many religious connotations, has made people overlook it as a form of tourism. Apart from the devotional aspect, looked at from the broader point of view, pilgrimage involves, sightseeing, travelling, visiting different places and, in some cases, voyaging by air or sea etc. and buying the local memorabilia, almost everything a tourist does. If a difference does exist it is in the fact that, despite having been undertaken for centuries, it has not had the same negative environmental, cultural and social ramifications that tourism has shown itself capable of in the last 30 years alone. Also, as in other types of tourism, tourist traffic to a destination can be created by changes in access or demands for new activities. Today the Buddhist and Jain shrines in remote parts of India have seen huge increases in visits as they become more accessible. Until the 1960s hardly anybody visited Lumbini (birthplace of Buddha) near the Chitwan Royal National Park, in Nepal near the Indian border. A renewed interest in Buddhism all over the world, easy road access to Lumbini and the added attraction of the National Park, which has been declared a world heritage site, has made all the difference. Lumbini is now a popular destination. Similarly, in the past, the major pilgrimage centres did not just provide food and accommodation and spiritual succour for the pilgrims. They were great centres of art and culture and, in the case of major centres, still are. The Himalayan region of Uttar Pradesh in India has developed a special Pahari cuisine, school of music, Pahari school of miniature painting,…

I personally called this place a FAIRYLAND .The dazzling green of Danna meadows and the slippery glaciers at tarmac, on the way to Naran and Kaghan is quiet experience. The prince who spotted a mountain fairy bathing in the stream flowing from the lake, and stole her clothes just to tease her but then fell into love with her. The lake is at a distance of six miles from Naran at a height of 10500 ft above sea level, I think. . It’s easily accessible by jeep or by trekking. If you want to trek, you need around two hours. Trekking is real fun. There is huge glacier on the way and crossing it is both adventure and fun. Saif -ul -Malookis one of the beautiful lakes one can imagine to exist on the surface of this earth have no words to describe its beauty,it is surrounded by very lush green huge mountains and this all scenery is quiet much to impress from the beauty of this valley. If anyone will go there. Once can never forget the time that was spent in the company of this enchanting lake. Saif-Ul-Malook is itself is so charming, so luring and so tempting in real that I fall in love with it . There are also some demons too. The thunderstorms, the landslides and the heavy rain though have a romance of their own.

    Letter K

    • 321 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The letter K comes from the letter Κ (kappa), which was taken from the Semitic kap, the symbol for an open hand.[2] This, in turn, was likely adapted by Semites who had lived in Egypt from the hieroglyph for "hand" representing D in the Egyptian word for hand, d-r-t. The Semites evidently assigned it the sound value /k/ instead, because their word for hand started with that sound.[3] In modern-day English slang, the word "k" is used as a substitute for the abbreviation "O.K.", or "Okay." In International Morse code it is used to mean "over".[4]…
