Perhaps it is the vastness of the country and its timeless quality. Perhaps it is the strange mixture of a multiplicity of peoples and cultures which strikes a hidden chord in us, for whom this land seems so alien and yet so fascinating. Or perhaps it is the way that humans and nature are so closely linked, co-existing in a way that seems highly improbable. There are some places in a lifetime that simply must be visited, and India is one of them. Through the years we have developed an expertise on India train journeys. It all started in 2001 when VENT inaugurated its fabulous Palace on Wheels tour. Subsequent train trips in different parts of the country were equally successful. In 2019, VENT debuted a fabulous new India train tour aboard the beautiful Maharajas’ Express. Based on the great success of this trip we will operate this special departure again in 2022! Across a broad swath of west-central India, we will travel in comfort while visiting the great princely cities of Rajasthan state: Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaipur; a host of wonderful national parks and preserves; and cultural wonders. Traveling in such style, in a way rarely experienced by modern-day travelers, will take us back in time and into the heart of Rajput country.

It plays a vital role to achieve the self-sufficiency in each sector of economy. Irrigation plays a crucial role in farming for those areas suffering from irregular pattern of rainfall. Rajasthan is the state of India which usually faces the drought condition as the monsoon gets fall. The farming in this state totally depends on the irrigation. This paper includes the district-wise distribution of cropping intensity and irrigation intensity including the comparison of 2013-2014 with the year 2006- 2007. Key words: Irrigation Intensity, Cropping Intensity, Net Area, Gross Area. RESUMEN La agricultura es una actividad primeria la cual está directa o indirectamente relacionada con otras actividades.

  • Historical Jag Mandir of Udaipur Mandir Lies Towards the South of the Lake and Was Completed by Maharana Jagat Singh I (Reigned
    Historical Jag Mandir Of Udaipur by traveldesk Mandir lies towards the south of the lake and was completed by Maharana Jagat Singh I (reigned 1628-1652). However, the palace was developed by Rana Karan Singh (1620-28). This palace has quite a historical significance; it has a structure that had been built to give shelter to Prince Khurram (later Emperor Shah Jahan) in 1626 when he was about to revolt against his father, emperor Jahangir. The Rana of Udaipur, Rana Karan Singh first gave him refuge in his City Palace. However, the Prince and his entourage were shifted to the island palace on lake Pichola when his nobles failed to respect Rajput customs. Most interestingly it was Khurram who had led the Mughal army in 1614 that had defeated Rana Amar Singh, the father of his host. Prince Karan was asked to act as an emissary to the Mughal court, and it was during this time that the Sisodias and the Mughals developed a friendship. Rana Karan Singh treated his royal guest with much courtesy and built the Mughal Prince a domed pavilion upon the island. He crowned the pavilion by the Muslim crescent and lavishly decorated its interiors. The Rana had a throne built from a single block of serpentine for his revered guest and also a mosque built for the prayers of the Mughal Prince and his followers. It is believed that the pietra dura work on the interior of the palace later inspired Khurram for the detailing of the Taj Mahal. The sandstone palace with its inlaid designs in onyx, jasper and agate had been a major influence when he built his palaces in Delhi and Agra.

  • Walled City Hotels Private Limited
    Walled City Hotels Private Limited February 19, 2019 Summary of rated instruments Previous Rated Amount Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) Long-term Cash Credit 2.00 3.00 [ICRA]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Long-term Term Loan 38.00 27.85 [ICRA]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Unallocated - 9.15 [ICRA]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Total 40.00 40.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating takes into account the extensive experience of the promoter in the hospitality industry supported by a professional management team, its moderately diversified portfolio with two hotels one in Jodhpur and the other at Udaipur with offerings in the upscale and premium segment. Continued improvement in the company’s top line supported by RevPar improvement, coupled with healthy operating margins, has led to a healthy financial risk profile as reflected by low gearing and strong debt coverage indicators. Further, the rating draws comfort from the strong liquidity as reflected in the undrawn working capital limits, liquid investments and the fact that the company is maintaining debt service reserve account (DSRA) equivalent to one quarter of principal and interest obligations. The rating, however, is constrained by the moderate scale of current operations and the pressure on occupancy of both the properties due to intense competition in these markets. The rating is further constrained by the modest return on capital employed (RoCE) due to lower occupancy at the Udaipur hotel. Further, the company faces the risk of high geographical concentration as all its assets are at the two locations and any volatility in demand could affect revenue generation.

  • So I Knew Their Place Before I Crashed Among Them, Knew When Alexander Had Traversed It in an Earlier Age for This Cause Or That Greed
    I am a man who can recognize an unnamed town by its skeletal shape on a map …. So I knew their place before I crashed among them, knew when Alexander had traversed it in an earlier age for this cause or that greed. I knew the customs of nomads besotted by silks or wells …. When I was lost among them, unsure of where I was, all I needed was the name of a small ridge, a local custom, a cell of this historical animal, and the map of the world would slide into place. – Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient (1992) 112 Marg Vol. 61 No. 1 112-120 Pramod final GJ.indd 112 18/09/09 11:32 AM Special Feature Pramod Kumar K.G. The Photography Archive at the City Palace Museum Udaipur A small slice of Udaipur’s history was uncovered in May 2008 when the City Palace Complex at Udaipur yielded several trunks packed with photographs. Safely maintained over the decades among the various storerooms and inner recesses of the vast City Palace Museum Udaipur (hereafter CPMU), the trunks hold several thousand loose photographs, folios, and framed images, which are currently being catalogued and archived. Numbering more than 15,000 images, these photographs are part of the Pictorial Archives of The Maharanas of Mewar, Udaipur, and are currently housed at the CPMU. A first exhibition of these photographs has already been mounted at the newly restored Bhagwat Prakash Gallery in the Zenana Mahal of the complex.
