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.

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

Beautiful florals and gorgeous lighting create a wonderful atmosphere. The temple is well arranged. The only thing missing is the mushak (maybe because it is a festival) the rest is good. Holy and pious, the whole process is very systematic so it is not troublesome even when it is very crowded, it is also very clean, people may need to be a little careful when buying flowers and items for worship as they want to cheat you subtly, negotiate the price beforehand, and also beware of pickpockets.
We visited Shree Siddhivanayak Temple in Mumbai on the day of Ganesh Puja. The temple was decorated with flowers and fruits on this special occasion. There were also many people visiting here. We received wonderful darshan of Lord. We received a framed photo of Lord Siddhivinayak and a packet of dal from the temple management. The temple management arranges special darshan. One can contact the temple management to experience this facility.

The Indian government's courtesy to foreigners is a shocking education as can be seen from the huge difference in ticket prices!
This palace is a great blessing for the stay-at-home geeks. Gandhi was very lucky to be able to live in this palace during the Second World War when Britain was busy with World War II. Was Gandhi placed under house arrest when he was invited to live in this palace? It is better to say that he took good care of his wife. Although his wife died here, she was protected in a very comfortable environment! How about thinking in reverse? It is also positive energy.
Shaniwar Wada Palace is located in the old city of Pune. The main building is a wooden structure and is relatively well preserved.

The seaside is still very spectacular. After passing the famous "Gate of India" in Mumbai, you will see the Indian Ocean. However, India is really dirty, with garbage everywhere on the ground. The sea water is not blue at all, like the Yellow River.
As the largest city in India, Mumbai is famous for its uneven distribution of wealth and its colorful scenery. I visited here in June 2018. I had heard about the Chaupatti Beach and the long seaside promenade along the beach for a long time, so I spent half a day walking along the seaside promenade alone to experience the life of the locals. This is a good place for Mumbai citizens to take a walk day and night. During the day, countless people come here to either sit and watch the sea or take pictures. At night, all kinds of vendors gather here to sell all kinds of food and souvenirs. However, the beach here is not suitable for swimming because the water quality is very poor. It was drizzling the day I arrived, and the whole beach turned dark, but the local people's easy-going life left a very deep impression on me.

In the north of Mumbai, there is a huge national park with decent scenery but some backward facilities. You can only get in by car and it may take 2 hours to walk. Inside you can see the place where monks practiced 2000 years ago.
Kanheri Caves are located in the Gandhi National Park in Mumbai, in the north of Mumbai, a little far from the city. The park is also very large, suitable for a whole day of hiking, but we don’t have much time here, and hiking in India, haha… First take the train, then take a tuk-tuk to the entrance of the park, but it is still a long way from the caves. There are special charter services at the entrance, including round trips. The caves are still OK, but not as beautiful as Elephanta Island.

Found it fun! The little one was happy - it would be better if they offered more activities because after 20 minutes you have finished with the slides and some equipment to play with.
I have never seen snow. Famous. I was there for my anniversary. Its a lovely lovely place. Lots of fun activities and clean. Great atmosphere and great staff. The main attraction is great for kids. I would recommend it to everyone

Indian Museum: Indo-Japanese artifacts exhibit
Verified user reviews
The famous Prince of Wales Museum is located in Mumbai, India. It has a very British style and typical European architecture. It is a cultural treasure left over from the British colonial period that will make you linger.
【Location】Not far from the Gate of India, but not accessible by foot.
【Tickets】650 rupees for foreigners, including explanations. There is no Chinese, but English. You can press the numbers and check a map, or you can find the numbers on the exhibits and listen to the explanations. Mobile phones, cameras, and video cameras need to pay an additional 100 rupees for shooting, but the management is really lax. Even in the museum, the flash almost blinded me...
【Environmental layout】It is said to be the largest museum in India, hmmm, okay. But the layout is better than the National Museum in Delhi and easy to find.
There are three floors in total. Basically, you can go around the center and the main exhibition rooms are all there. The wings are basically not important.
Looking up in the hall, you can see the Indian-Mughal style architecture. Basically, most of the castles and palaces seen in India are of this type.
If you like to see statues and miniature paintings, you can enjoy it.
I especially like the Krishna exhibition hall, which exhibits miniature paintings, but the accompanying words are so poetic and beautiful.
