The 2010 edition of the premier Literature Festival is being organized from January 21-25,2010. Like yesteryears, it will be held in the Hall of Audience and gardens of the Diggi Palace – heritage property.

This year visitors to the festival can hope to spot familiar names at the fest like Maheshweta Devi, Hanif Quereshi, Rohinton Mistry and Vikram Chandra. Others who have confirmed their participation include Alexander McCall Smith, Candace Bushnell, Wole Soyinka and Niall Ferguson.

The literature festival is considered to be the biggest in Asia. A lot of credit for the success of the festival goes to the hard working festival directors - Namita Gokhale and William Dalrymple.:thumbsup

Blessed by the splendor of its past, the historic capital of Gwalior, has made a successful transition into the modern Indian city that it is today. Gwalior is vibrant and bustling.

A number of dynasties of the great Rajput clan have reigned on this city, years ago. The Pratiharas, Tomars and Kachhwahas have left permanent impressions of their rules over this city of temples, monuments and palaces.

Gwalior had continued to be a royal capital, until the formation of present day India, with the Scindias having their dynastic seat here. ]]> Uttar Pradesh | Madhya Pradesh | Rajasthan JayaRawat http://www.indusladies.com/forums/uttar-pradesh-madhya-pradesh-rajasthan/77021-gwalior-a-royal-experience.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/uttar-pradesh-madhya-pradesh-rajasthan/75967-garhmukteshwar.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:31:55 GMT Instead of Haridwar, many Delhites are heading out towards Garmukteshwar these days. The main attraction is of course that the River Ganga is more cleaner here. Recently our family friend had to perform some religious rituals and instead of Haridwar, he headed out to Garhmukteshwar.
Garhmuketshwar is just 93 kms from Delhi and is easily approachable by road and rail. Besides taxis and cars, there are plenty of comfortabe Roadways buses to take you there. Besides taking a dip in the Ganges, you can also visit the famous Ganga Devi temple and the Jarkandeshwar Temple. Every year a big annual fair is held in the month of Kartik. ]]> Uttar Pradesh | Madhya Pradesh | Rajasthan sushmasrivastav http://www.indusladies.com/forums/uttar-pradesh-madhya-pradesh-rajasthan/75967-garhmukteshwar.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/uttar-pradesh-madhya-pradesh-rajasthan/75730-escape-the-music-festival.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:45:49 GMT Dear friends I have just returned from the 2 day music and arts festival being organized at the Lakeside Resort, Naukuchiatal, Uttarakhand.

I have just returned from the 2 day music and arts festival being organized at the Lakeside Resort, Naukuchiatal, Uttarakhand. This festival entitled “Escape” is the latest in the series of music festivals sponsored by the Lakeside Resort management. Others include the Lakeside Jam and the Music in the Hills.
I met quite a few Delhi faces at the fest. Everyone seemed out to make the most of the long weekend extending upto Monday. The festival has been organised at one corner of the Naukuchiatal Lake. I listened to Dhruv Sangaria of Da Saaz, Vedanta (fusion music) and the Indi –Pop group Astitva on the first day.

Sanchi is known for its Stupas, temples, monasteries and pillars dating from the 3^rd century B.C. to the 12^th century A.D. The most renowned of these monuments, the Sanchi Stupa 1, was originally built by, the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka, who was the then governor of Ujjayini. His wife Devi was the daughter of a merchant from the adjacent Vidisha.
Their son Mahendra and daughter Sanghamitra were born in Ujjayini and sent to Sri Lanka. They converted the King, Queen and the people of Sri Lanka into Buddhism.


Have any of you ever been to Sanchi? ]]> Uttar Pradesh | Madhya Pradesh | Rajasthan JayaRawat http://www.indusladies.com/forums/uttar-pradesh-madhya-pradesh-rajasthan/75119-sanchi-vivid-memories.html
