“The architecture, style and beauty of temples in India are celebrated across the world. The extraordinary architecture of these ancient shrines attracts an increasing number of both national and international visitors every year. The origin of temple construction can be traced back to the pre-historic era when the reign of ancient rulers flourished in the country. Building beautiful temples. as we know has a rich heritage of composite culture. It exudes diversity in every nook and corner. It is one of the very few countries in the world that celebrates festivals and worships deities with glory and grandeur.

31, Uttar Marg, Capitol Complex, Sector 1, Chandigarh, 160001, India

“I recently visited the Open Hand Monument in Chandigarh and was in awe of its unique design and symbolism. Designed by the famous architect Le Corbusier, the monument represents the idea of "the hand to give and the hand to take." The hand-shaped structure stands tall and proud, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The monument is not just a piece of art, but also a symbol of unity and peace. The concept behind the design is to create a sense of togetherness among people from different backgrounds and cultures. The monument also serves as a reminder to be generous and compassionate towards one another. The monument is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, with plenty of benches to sit and take in the surrounding beauty. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in art and architecture, as well as those looking for a peaceful and reflective experience. Overall, the Open Hand Monument in Chandigarh is a true masterpiece and a testament to Le Corbusier's visionary design.”

Ghadi Chowk, Raj Bhawan Rd, Civil Lines, Raipur, Chhattisgarh 492001, India

“Enjoyed some me time at this restoration site and enjoyed the environment. The premise is squeaky clean...nothing like from 1875 when it was erected! Also nice to see people actually interested because this place has some superb artifacts with narratives that compliment the collection.A mix of mythology and history. Also met someone from the archeology department of the museum who was acting as a guide to a visitor...Private tours are organised for key visits.Would recommend spending time at the tribal art floor which is like a studio and will attract art lovers for sure...has a very vibrant feel. The art gallery alongside is only open for specific exhibition which is hosted. Photography is allowed in the museum but video is prohibited. They also have a collection of wild animals which have been preserved using chemicals. Overall a nice experience only if you are a history and art lover otherwise you might be bored...”

“Diwan-i-Am or the 'Hall of public audience', was the place where Shah Jahan (A.D.1628-58) received the general public and heard their grievances. With a courtyard in the front, it was originally surrounded by arcaded apartments used by chiefs (Umaras) on duty. With an impressive façade of nine engrailed arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded stucco work. In the centre of the eastern wall, stands a marble canopy covered by a Bengal roof, under which was placed the Emperor's throne. A marble dais below the throne, inlaid withsemi precious stones, was used by the Wazir (Prime Minister) for receiving petitions. Behind the canopy, the wall is decorated with beautiful panels inlaid with multi-colored stones (pietra dura work), representing flowers and birds, said to have been executed by Austin de Bordeaux, a Florentine jeweller.”
