One of the most ICONIC Mosques 🕌 in India, popular both as a tourist destination as well as for offering daily prayers. I was spellbound and captivated to see the humongous size of this mosque. Most importantly the cleanliness is absolutely top-notch. The intricate ancient arts and designs on the walls of the mosque deserve a lot of appreciation. Shoes must be deposited outside before entering the premises. If you are coming to Delhi, then this place shouldn't be missed.🧡

This is a heritage restaurant in the heart of Trivandrum. It's famous for hosting APJ Abdul Kalam and you can also see his photographs on the wall of this restaurant. The interior decoration is simple and the food prices are quite affordable. Just opposite to this restaurant there is a beautiful temple that you should visit. Recommended.😊

Kolkata's love for cinema needs no introduction. We all know how much passionate this city is when it comes to movies and music. Hence, cinema halls have always remained an integral part in the lives of Kolkatans. With changing times and increased competition, there are some heritage cinema halls that have still managed to survive. One such single-screen theatre is the Indira Cinema, which has witnessed the changing times, yet still standing strong amidst the tough competition from multiplexes like Inox & PVRs. During my maiden visit to this iconic theatre to watch Gangubai Kathiawadi, I was left delighted with the overall experience. The ticket price over here is extremely moderate. As soon as you enter the theatre buliding, you can see some historical posters of old cinemas on the walls, which were once showcased in this theatre. A beautiful portrait of Mahanayak Uttam Kumar is placed right near the entrance of the hall. The seats are comfortable enough for the price that you pay & the screen size is not too big. The sound quality is good, but certainly not comparable to the likes of Inox or PVR standards. Apparently, it's a decent cinema hall to visit, especially for the ones who would like to get a taste of the olden single-screen theatre days. Recommended.👍🏻

Charminar is an impressive & historic monument that defines the city of Hyderabad. During my visit, I was captivated by the grandness and effulgence of this breathtakingly beautiful monument. Although situated in a highly congested area of old Hyderabad, but the aura of this place helps to mitigate all your tiredness and discomfort completely. Interested tourists can even enter inside Charminar after purchasing entry tickets. There is also a beautiful mosque located inside Charminar that is worth paying a visit. While exploring, I had observed that a few of the minarets of this architectural splendor were undergoing renovation and repair. The Archeological Survey of India is doing a really commendable job in maintaining and preserving the Charminar. Do check out some of the photos clicked by me. Highly recommended to visit. 👍🏻

One of the oldest sweet shops in the city of joy, Tewari is equally popular for their namkeen delicacies too. All of their products are prepared using pure ghee, which ensures good quality foods. I tried out their Chole Bhature, which tasted delicious and costed ₹80. Some of the foods that I would like to recommend are milk sweets, lassi, gajar halwa & kulfi. They have also got sufficient seating arrangement for customers. Overall, it's a good restaurant for casual dining. Recommended. 👍🏻
