skyscrappers are part of the topography of this place. The gateway of
India welcomes every one to this land of dreams.
On
the western coast is Goa. The colour, festivals, beaches and churches
that is what Goa is all about. Goa is very popular haunt 
for the
foreigners. Not long ago this place was notoriously infected by the
Hippies and drug peddlars. They have not been totally eliminated but
their presence is almost nil today. Goa is land where people are
celebrating all the year round. Folk songs & music combined with the
local brew Fenni produces an effect which is felt no where else.
The cave temples of Ajanta Ellora or the historic city of
Aurangabad, all remind of the grandeur and architectural excellence
which this place had attained. Khajuraho temples in Madhya Pradesh have
completed 1000 years. The tourism department is celebrating this
occassion by organising Khajuraho millennium. These festivals start in
March this year and will end in 2000 AD. The temples at Kahjuraho

walls of these temple has been attracting tourists far and wide.
The numerous wild life sancturies and national parks sustain a
variety of flora and fauna. Cities like Sanchi had been center of
Buddhism but now only the stupas remain to tell the story of the past.
But there are places like Nagpur, Gwalior and Bhopal which are still
alive and growing.
