Indian Architectures

Panjim’s famous Fontainhas doesn’t need any introduction. The exquisite Latin Quarter is indeed a picturesque neighborhood, known for its vibrant houses, narrow winding streets, and Portuguese colonial architecture. From cute cafes to vibrant houses, this place draws thousands of tourists every day, even during the rainy season. Rich in history and culture, Fontainhas is teeming with quaint cafes, art galleries, and boutique shops. The area is a haven for photographers, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to capture its beauty. Sharing here couple of images which I had clicked during my last trip to Goa.

My search for an attractive tourist destination in Mumbai ended when a friend of mine suggested me to visit Maharashtra’s famous Elephanta Caves – a UNESCO World Heritage site, which draws thousands of tourists everyday.

Surrounded by thick forest and Arabian Sea, the caves are divided in two parts – an array five caves and two Buddhist caves.

Perched on Elephanta Island, the collection of rock art is believed to be built during the mid-fifth to sixth centuries AD. According to Archaeological Survey Of India, a number of dynasties, including Chalukyas of Badami and Yadavas of Deogiri had their control over this majestic place.

Among all the caves, Cave 1 turned out to be impressive. The main cave includes Andhakasuravada murti, Nataraja; Kalyanasundara murti and Gangadhara murti.
In my opinion, the Elephanta Caves is a must place to visit for those who admire ancient art and architectures.

Exploring the entire place takes almost 1 and ½ hours. Elephanta Caves is just 10 kilometer away from the famous Gateway of India. The boat services for this place start at around 9am.
