  • 7. Know Me: I Am Your Capital City
    7. Know me: I am your Capital City I am your capital city. My name is Jaipur. It is after the name of my founder Raja Jai Singh II. I was founded in 1727. I am popularly known as pink city. It is because of the stone used for the construction of all the structures. I was first painted in pink colour in 1857 to welcome the first visit of the Prince of Wales. I was repainted in 1876 during his second visit. I was planned according to Bhartiya Vastu Shastra by a Bengali architect, Vidhyadhar Bhattacharya. The directions of each road, street and market are East to West and North to South. There is a rampart around me. There are seven gates to enter the city. I am connected with all the parts of Rajasthan and India by air, road and rail network. In 2011 I had a population of more than thirty five lakh. I am the 10th largest city of India as per the census of 2011. I have a semi arid climate. Most of the rainfall occurs in the monsoon months. I have several tourist places. Some of them are; City palace, JantarMantar, Hawamahal, Albert Hall Museum, Amber Fort, Birla Mandir, etc. The State Government rules the state from here. The Raj Bhawan for the Governor. The secretariat is for the offices of the Chief Minister, Other ministers and the administrative officers. There is the Vidhansabha for People’s Representatives. The Jaipur Municipal Corporation is responsible for maintaining civic infrastructure and carrying out administrative duties. It has a Mayor, a Deputy Mayor and the office bearers.

  • NAMASTE! (Nah-Mahs-Teh) in a Number of India’S Many Languages (Including Hindi), the Word for Hello Greetings, Good-Bye, Etc
    NAMASTE! (Nah-mahs-teh) In a number of India’s many languages (including Hindi), the word for hello greetings, good-bye, etc. Derivatives of this word include namaskar, namaskara & namaskaram. DECEMBER 2018 EDITION (Originally published April 2010) JAIPUR! India is, by its very nature, a land of great contrasts. For instance, it has been listed as both one of the driest & wettest places in the world. At Cherrapunji (in the far northeastern part of the country), it is not unusual for the total annual rainfall to be 40 FEET. In the Great Indian Desert (also called the Thar Desert), rainfall can often be less than 1 inch per year. Take a look at the great metropolitan areas of India. The 6 major ones are Bombay (now called Mumbai), Madras (now Chennai), Calcutta, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad. This is where about 10% of the total population of the country lives. In fact, India has more cities of 1 million or more inhabitants than any other country in the world. On the other hand, India is home to over 600,000 villages that have a population of 5,000 or less. Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is a place of great contrast to much of the rest of India. It is a desert city, now with a population of at least 6 million people, and is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. The Rajasthani people are just— well, they are different. They are Indian, to be sure, but with a flair that is not found in other places of the country.

  • The Ottomans | Court Life
    The Ottomans | Court Life ‘The Topkap# Palace was the governmental centre and residence of the imperial family.’ The Topkap# Palace was the governmental centre and residence of the imperial family. It was founded on an area of the Istanbul peninsula which commands views of the Golden Horn on one side, and the Bosphorus Strait and the Sea of Marmara, on the other. It is a complex of buildings in three parts (birun, enderun and harem) situated within large gardens. The birun is between the first gate, Bab-# Hümayun (Imperial Gate), and the third gate, Babü’s-Saade (Gate of Felicity). The first courtyard accommodated the service buildings, the imperial mint, military barracks, ministries and other governmental offices. The second courtyard was called Alay Meydan# and housed the Divan-# Hümayun – also called ‘Under the Dome’ – the treasury, the kitchens, stables and the entrance to the harem. Ceremonies, for instance enthronement, the royal hearing in case of emergencies known as Alay Divan# (Assembly on Foot) and the celebration of feasts, were made in front of the Gate of Felicity. The sultan’s throne was also placed near the Gate; and the Holy Flag (Sancak-# #erif), the very symbol of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph, was raised here when it was taken out of the Pavilion of the Holy Mantel on ceremonial occasions. Name: Topkap# Palace Dynasty: Construction began in hegira 9th century / AD 15th century, during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II (his second reign: AH 855–86 / AD 1451–81); the last addition was made under Sultan Abdülmecid ['Abd al-Majid] (r.
