#Mumbai #India #Bollywood Mumbai is a really cool, hip city that's India's most populous but richest. It's home to Bollywood, movie stars, with great food, a bounty of Indo-Gothic, #artdeco and modern architecture, beautiful ocean sunsets, etc. Here's some of the good and bad. 1/

2/ #Mumbai #Bombay #ThenAndNow #BeforeAndAfter I overlaid maps from 1750, 1893, etc. atop my Google Maps composite. The original "fort" is still visible. Note Victoria Terminus (now Shivaji Terminus), Churchgate Station, etc. Click to zoom for detail.

3/ #Mumbai #architecture #trains – Mumbai/Bombay, India’s massive and soaring 1878 Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus) train station is a #UNESCO site and took ten years to build. You might recognize it from movie #SlumdogMillionaire! Jai Ho!

1/ #travel #TravelBlogger - Williamsburg, #Virginia is a national historical treasure founded 1632 whose Colonial #architecture has been copied across the #USA. If you go, also visit nearby Yorktown and so much more!

2/ #history #travel #tourism - Williamsburg, #Virginia was Virginia’s capital 1699 to 1780. It’s really an outdoor museum. Actors recreate life from three hundred years ago. IIRC, there are shops, nice tree-lined sidewalks, and beautiful vistas.

3/ #Colonial Williamsburg is really a beautiful outdoor museum. I love #architecture in general and enjoy the Williamsburg style. Yet somehow, I never learned its origins. Usually a combination of nature, available materials, etc., helps create styles.

Ancient temples have always been one of the most amazing threads in the tapestry of Indian culture, and Gujarat surely has an spectacular array of temples to consider when charting out your next trip to the state.

The Modhera Sun Temple was made by King Bhima I of the Chalukya

dynasty in the early 11th century.
It is a temple made to honour the Sun God in Modhera village of Mehsana district on the bank of River Pushpavati. The temple complex is divided into three parts – Gudha Mandapa (the shrine hall), Sabha Mandapa (the assembly hall) and

Kunda (the reservoir).

The temple is designed in such a way that during every equinox, the first ray of the rising sun would fall on a diamond placed on the head of the Sun God. This would also light up the shrine with a golden glow.

The Sabha Mandap stands on 52 pillars,

TRAVEL HACKS 2 - from my experience to 22 countries & >150 hotel stays so far.

Heard of Tripit app? Allows you to keep itineraries, tickets, reservations etc in one place instead of scrolling thru endless emails. Just import all your confirmation emails.

https://twitter.com/bryt_alozy/status/1341462410427838465?s=21

My Best - bougie on a travel budget hack; private jet vibes. Fly Boutique Air -surprisingly cheap & unique option for domestic travel within the US on a small jet. I flew Baltimore to Pittsburgh & had only 2/6 filled & was only $42 (one way). Fly private at the cost of commercial

Hotel Hack: Get all the perks of a luxury hotel for a fraction of the price by staying at a sister hotel

The hack: Many hotels have sister hotels in same area; cheaper but still allow guests to use all the amenities like pool, restaurant, free breakfast etc at the 5-star hotel👇🏾

The real heroes who deserve to be celebrated are the skilled crafts communities integral to #preservation #conservation of #heritage #sites #monuments and #museums across the world. These are photos from the #NalandaUniversity, a #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite in #Bihar in 2013

Here, when we had gone on a research trip as the Bihar Museum #design team, we had found #craftsmen making bricks and sculptures to help in the restoration of the 1500 year old site. We thought this was extremely imp as the process was similar

I had suggested that this process be filmed and displayed as part of ‘continuing traditions’ in the new Museum. Thankfully, this was accepted and a film has been made 😊
...
Thank you the real heroes, we salute you for your skill and hard work, not just today but everyday 🙏🏽

The French divided Pondy into the Indian and French Quarter by a canal that cut across it. Even today, when you walk around you notice stark differences in the architecture and in the street names. Read more on: varnikadesigns.wordpress.com/2020/04/03/pon…

The French or White Quarter is distinguished by their bright yellow, grey or white villas with high walls, columns, large wooden doors #louvres with straight iron grills.Most of Indian Quarter houses were originally spread out around the #temples &have more #wooden #architecture

“Best #design is something which works with all of your 5 #senses and is invisible.” Pragati Singhal, #textiledesigner For #Feb, VarnikaDesigns #Instagram takeover was by Pragati. She took us on a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ride

Pragati asks: “How often ru aware about the movements/changes around, about the smell of the place or how the air tastes?Do u c the pattern formed by stars or how those flowers attract the bees?
When was the last time u actually tasted ur food?

VarnikaDesigns started its first social media colab with Suyash Srivastava, Textile Designer. He was completing his project from Siwan in Bihar, one of India’s most sensational states, and gave us live coverage from there.

His objective when he started the takeover was:”I am looking forward to take the viewers through the lives of #local #people in #Bihar,focusing on their way of living,the types of products they use,things that lead &influence their lives by building a visual experience for them.

Will also be sharing my personal insight that I have observed while living here over the period of time, what misconceptions we have about rural regions &the golds to pick up as inspiration form their lives and implement in ours”

Witnessed history being projected! On Saturday, 8th February, India’s prominent artist #nalinimalani created an installation on the facade of the #TajPalaceHotel in #Mumbai It had more than 50 animations and floating images, perfectly wrapped around the hotel

People stopped on the extremely busy #Gatewayofindia to hunt for the ‘#Koel’ (large Indian #cuckoos) as the sound of the #bird emitted from the #video Nalini Malani has an entire series called’Can you hear me?’ on @instagram on her profile

Sanjeet had already looked it up so when we were talking to the artist, she explained more to us.This hotel was the same place that had faced horrific #terroristattack in 2009.Today it represents a more peaceful #memory in the lives of the Mumbai lovers

So yesterday I was at the Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, #Pakistan via the Kartarpur Corridor. This photo thread is about my journey to Kartarpur.

I've got a lot of queries already & I'm working on detailed blog posts.

#KartarpurCorridor #Pakistan #MaharajTravels #TraveBlogger

The nearest town to reach Kartarpur Corridor from #India is Dera Baba Nanak which is 2km from the border. Reached here by bus after a 1:30 hrs journey.

#KartarpurCorridor #Pakistan #MaharajTravels #TravelBlogger

Since it was just 2km, I walked from Dera Baba Nanak to the Border terminal. On the way a couple of BSF check posts. Got the first glimpse of Pakistan flag and this is the terminal building.

Dangers of the sea: with impending #Monsoons, fishing communities across #India tie up their boats. All along the #Indian #coastline, #boats of different dimensions and #colours, await the #dark #clouds to wreck havoc on their #home - the #sea

The #rainyseason recharges #water & #human bodies, but the #fishingcommunities have no #income.They would have had to save enough to tide them through. They spend this time with their families,repairing boats,fishing nets& specialise in #hunting small #crustacean close to #shore

No #freshcatch is served in #restaurants on #coastline but no one’s complaining as we care for our fishing communities&this is rare opportunity for expressing that concern.in #Monsoon we stand together,waiting quietly for the storms,the rains - nature’s fury& #beauty

The ‘Tree of Life’ is believed to connect all forms of creation. It is a mythological symbol in Ancient Iranian, Assyrian, Chinese, Baha’i, Hindu, Buddhist and Jain religious texts, all over the world. In Jainism, it is referred to as ‘Kalpavriksha’ #EarthDay
