Palace Tours − Luxury Tours Collection the Deccan Odyssey − Goa to Mumbai the Deccan Odyssey − Goa to Mumbai Palace Tours − Luxury Tours Collection The Deccan Odyssey − Goa To Mumbai The Deccan Odyssey − Goa To Mumbai Benchmarked against the best luxury trains of the world, The Deccan Odyssey is known for its impressive design and exquisite service. Journey from the Portugese−influenced beach state of Goa to the culturally−rich city of Kolhapur, to the World Heritage Sites of Ellora and Ajanta Caves and end your journey in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India. With plush interiors, awesome cuisine, and great sites to see in its native Maharashtra, this 5−night tour etches golden memories in the mind of every traveler. ITINERARY The Deccan Odyssey departs from Mumbai every Wednesday, October through April. It departs from Goa every Friday. For journeys aboard this train during September, please view the Viceroy of India. • Day 1 − Board the Deccan Odyssey in Goa Friday: Board the Deccan Odyssey luxury train this afternoon at Verna Railway Station and settle in to your luxurious stateroom before departing by bus to a beach hotel. Here, enjoy a scrumptious traditional meal and return to the waiting train at Madgaon railway station later this evening. • Day 2 − Prominent temples of Goa Friday: Enjoy breakfast on board followed by a sightseeing tour of Mahalasa Temple, one of the most popular temples in Goa and is visually appealing and amplified by the six−storied 'Deepstambha' or ornamental lamp pillar in the courtyard. This splendid pillar is 40 feet in height and has 21 rings with 150 lamps. A fascinating spectacle unfolds when it is lit up with oil wicks on the annual festival day or Jatra. Continue on and visit another prominent temple called Mangeshi, set amidst natural beauty and pleasant surroundings. Mangeshi, a little village along Goa's Panaji−Ponda road is not only a point of pilgrimage for the followers of the Lord, it attracts hundreds of tourists from all over India and abroad. Next stop is the Sahakari Spice Farm at Ponda Villa, one of the biggest and finest spice farm in the country. Enjoy a welcome drink and snacks on arrival before a guided tour of the farm and discover a variety of herbal and medicinal trees as the guide explains their medical values. A typical Goan lunch is served at the farm and enjoy some free time in the afternoon. From the farmhouse, proceed to Meneses Branganza House, one of the finest heritage houses in the 16th century. Rejoin the train in Magdaon Railway Station and prepare to depart for your next destination. • Day 3 − Immerse yourself in the heritage of Kolhapur Saturday: Alight the train this morning in Kolhapur, a city with a multifaceted present and a mythical past. Situated on the banks of the river Panchaganga, Kolhapur has survived regimes of various rulers from the legendary past to the modern age; the Satavahana Kings, the Shilaharas, the Marathas and the British have all left their imprint here. Your first stop is at The New Palace, an Indo−Sarecenic architectural marvel that was built in 1881 and houses the Chhatrapati Sahu Museum, a curious array of the former Maharaja's possessions. Next, head to the Bhawani Mandap (the town hall) followed by a trip to the Mahalakshmi Mandir, a temple complex that is artfully adorned with horizontal moldings and vertical offsets, creating a rich light and shade pattern. Travel to Shalini Palace on the west bank of the picturesque Rankala Lake to witness a display of traditional martial arts known locally as "Mardani Khel." Kolhapur is known for its textiles and cottons, and its Kolhapuri saris in particular, but is most famous for its jewelry, leather sandals and chappals. These items and more are displayed at stalls in the Palace, where you have some time for shopping. Return to the train for lunch and spend the remainder of the afternoon on board at leisure as the train travels to Aurangabad via Pune. Enjoy a fabulous dinner as you anticipate the next day's destination: the 6th century. • Day 4 − Revisit the history of Mughal India Sunday: This morning as the train passes along the rolling hills and picturesque ruins of the past, you travel way back in 1 time to Aurangabad. After breakfast on the train, a luxury bus takes you to the majestic fortress of Daulatabad. An impregnable defense in its day, it still stands tall and proud, rising dramatically 600 feet above the Deccan Plain. Walk around the ruins, which tell you extraordinary stories of bravery and valor. Once known as Devgiri, this fort served as the head quarters of the powerful Yadava rulers. In the 13th century, Mohammed bin Tughlak, the Sultan of Delhi, made it his capital and renamed it Daulatabad, or City of Fortune. Your next stop is the Ellora Caves, a World Heritage Site located just 26 km from Aurangabad. Lying on the ancient trade route, the caves are thought to be the work of priests and pilgrims who used the route. Abandoned and forgotten for several centuries, the 34 cave temples and monasteries were excavated out of the vertical face of an escarpment. These 17 Hindu (800−1000 AD), five Jain (1000 −1300 AD) and 12 Buddhist (600 to 700 AD) caves at Ellora are among the finest in India, the latter of which belong to the Vajrayana sect of the Mahayana School. The caves include 'viharas' (monasteries) and 'chaityas' (chapels) where the monks worshipped. The earliest excavation here is of the Dhumar Lena (Cave 29), and the most imposing excavation is, without doubt, that of the magnificent Kailasanatha Temple (Cave 16) which is the largest monolithic structure in the world. Completely open to the elements, it is the only building whose excavation was begun from the top. The Jain caves, less grand in comparison to the others are richly carved with lotus, elephant, lions and 'tirthankaras' of Lord Mahavira. They offer an aura of peace and simplicity. Return to Aurangabad for lunch and move on to the Bibi Ka Maqbara, built in the late 17th century by Emperor Aurangzeb's son as a tribute to his mother. A replica of Taj Mahal, the fairy tale Maqbara stands out as the only piece of Moghul architecture on the Deccan Plateau. Spend some time browsing through Paithani and Himroo showrooms for perfect memorabilia and souvenirs. Return to the train at Aurangabad station for a mouth−watering feast. • Day 5 − Go back hundreds of years in history at the Ajanta Caves Tuesday: Alight at Bhusawal railway station after a royal breakfast and travel via luxury air conditioned bus to begin today's trip back in time. Soon, find yourself surrounded by dramatic views of the Waghora valley where the Ajanta Caves are located. Older than the Ellora caves (200 BC to 650 AD) they are also cut from the volcanic lava of the Deccan trap in a steep crescent shaped hillside. Lost to the world after the 7th century, the caves were discovered by accident in 1819 by a party of British officers on a hunting expedition. At Ajanta, the Mahayana group, Hinayana group and the later Mahayana group complete the spectrum of Buddhist development in India. 'Bodhisattva Padmapani', 'Boddhisattva Avalokitesvara', '17 Jatakas', 'The Birth of the Buddha' and 'The Thousand Buddhas' are amongst the finest murals and sculptures ever found. The paintings on the ceiling, particularly the elephant scattering the lotus, charging bull, the black princess and the row of dancers with musicians mesmerize tourists from all over the world. After a quick shopping break for artifacts and souvenirs, rejoin the waiting train at Jalgaon Station and travel along to Nashik in the royal comforts of the train while the magnificent images of the ancient caves linger on in your mind. Enjoy yet another mouth−watering meal on board the royal train. Arrive at Nashik Road Station where you are accorded a traditional welcome of garlands, 'arti' and 'kumkum tilak,' before transferring to the peaceful ancient temples of the Panchvati Ghats. The Nashik Kumbha Mela, which is held here every 12 years, is generally acknowledged to be the most sacred of all the festivals and is the largest religious gathering in the world. After a visit to Kala Ram Temple, built in 1794, board the train at Deolali railway station, where it's time for a farewell dinner on board as the Deccan Odyssey moves from the past to the future. Prepare for your arrival in the most advanced business capital of India, Mumbai. • Day 6 − Finish the tour with memories to cherish for a lifetime Wednesday: Enjoy breakfast on board as the sun rises over the commercial capital of India. Alight at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai in the morning enriched with the rich legacy of this land. Your royal journey is over, but the memories will live on forever. DESTINATION INFORMATION 2 • Ajanta Today Ajanta caves is the most exquisite example of ancient Buddhist carving. Over the course of seven centuries, the cave temples of Ajanta evolved into works of incredible art. All 29 caves have been carved with scenes from Buddhist lore, and 15 of them remain unfinished. Some of the caves served as vihara (monasteries) complete with stone pillows carved onto the monks' stone beds, while others were chaityas (Buddhist cathedrals). The caves are now like chapters of a splendid epic recalling the life of the Buddha. • Aurangabad Aurangabad is located in the northern part of the state of Maharashtra, in the western region of India and is known mainly for its medieval monuments and cultural heritage, as well as for its silk and cotton textiles. It is located 375 km from Mumbai (Bombay) and is named after the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb.

  • The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights
    The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights Activities Overnight Day 1 Fly U.S. to Hyderabad. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan
