Dhobi Ghat in Mumbai is a fascinating open-air laundromat where hundreds of washermen (dhobis) clean clothes in rows of concrete wash pens. A symbol of Mumbai’s hardworking spirit, it offers a unique glimpse into the city’s traditional laundry system. A must-visit for photographers and culture enthusiasts!
Dhobi Ghat, also known as the Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat, is a famous open-air laundromat located in Mumbai, India. It’s one of the largest of its kind in the world, where thousands of laundry workers, known as "dhobis," wash and iron clothes daily. The sight of the workers washing clothes in large stone basins and hanging them to dry is iconic and gives a glimpse into Mumbai's unique culture and heritage.#DhobiGhat #Mumbai #IndianCulture #LaundryTradition #Mahalaxmi #MumbaiLife #Heritage

it's very famous historical place and gate of India historyyou can take boat ride and go to cave you can even find dolphin during your ridejust opposite the famous Taj hotel and restaurant is located
The Gate of India in Mumbai is next to the Indian Ocean. The British troops landed in Mumbai, and there were grand welcoming ceremonies and buildings on both sides. The background of the construction of the Gate of India is engraved on it. But the Indian Ocean is really dirty, the water is yellow, not blue at all.

Finally visited the Mysore Palace after long time nearly ten years.I suppose it was meant to be with a friend who took the long haul from Boston to marvel at its beauty.What a melange of architectural and design styles 😍I was really impressed by the grandeur and scale of Mysore Palace.#historicalpalace#mysorepalace.
Mysore Palace, an architectural marvel, showcases Indo-Saracenic style with stunning domes, carvings, and royal artifacts. It was the residence of the Wodeyar dynasty and is famous for its grandeur during the Dussehra festival. A must-visit for history and culture lovers. #MysorePalace #RoyalHeritage #Dussehra #TravelIndia

I appreciate the windows of India Gate the most. They are perfect stone carvings! They are shocking. The windows are carved at equal distances. Even if they are processed by modern machines, there will be a large error. But you know, these windows are so exquisite, at least visually, without any difference. It is really shocking.
Driving from the volcano to the island, Indonesia is so cool!
Because of a photo in "Lonely Planet", Indonesia's Bromo Volcano completely captured my heart. After three years, I stepped out of the country again, and I couldn't wait to see this "most moon-like place on earth" with my own eyes.
Of course, Indonesia is more than just this volcano. In order to fully experience this mysterious and interesting country, we chose to drive by ourselves. We rented a car on xie🍊, which was super convenient. We got the car directly at the airport after getting off the plane. By the way! It is recommended to choose the worry-free rental service, which is super safe with 24-hour after-sales service!
We traveled from Jakarta through small towns, volcanoes, forests, and islands, and it was like walking into a fantasy movie along the way.
🇮🇩Must-visit recommendations in Indonesia
◾️Drive an off-road vehicle in the early morning to see the sunrise of Bromo Volcano
◾️Thousands of waterfalls under the volcano
◾️Wear a gas mask to climb Ijen Volcano to see the blue fire (depending on your luck)
◾️Walk into the "Lord of the Rings Forest" to see the winding branches all over the sky
◾️Lie flat mode on the beach in Bali
◾️Go to Ubud to experience culture and art
◾️Go to Penida Island to see what paradise looks like

In October 2019, I visited the Golden Temple with my wife and son, and it was an incredibly peaceful and moving experience. The temple's stunning architecture and the tranquil atmosphere created by the sacred hymns left us in awe. The kindness and hospitality of everyone we met made the visit truly memorable.
The most sacred place on earth. In the middle of chaos you will find your peace.

One of the most famous temple in Pune. It has its own history. We went on a new year day to start an year with Ganesha"s blessings . It was super crowded and to take tat kal tickets also , there was que. After taking the ticket, once we get inside the line It will just take 5 mins to take darshan. You will get that divine feeling and vibration when you go and stand infont of the Idol. That experience is enough that then understood why this temple was that much famous.
Dedicated to Lord Ganapati, Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati temple is one of the most famous places to visit in Pune

Elephant ride to Amber Fort
Verified User Reviews
The Amber Fort in India is built with milky white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stones. It looks like amber from a distance, so it is called the Amber Fort. The architecture of the Amber Fort is complex but exquisite. It is built against the mountain and is very imposing. The famous Mirror Palace in the Amber Fort is an exquisite pattern inlaid with tiny lenses. The exquisite technique is amazing!
There are also many castles in India, which may be the traces left over from years as a British colony. There are red Amber Fort, castles built in water, and royal castles, all of which are valuable cultural relics.
