And notable legends surrounding Bhangarh include a sadhu who cursed the fort because against his wishes one of its rulers unacceptably raised its height and another involving a local princess and a black-magic…

  HemanthOS The world´s most populous country is also one of its richest in terms of what it has to offer visitors on all fronts - culture, history, cuisine, natural attractions, and much more.

    Quite a few of this sites Indian members post about "yatras," which are Hindu spiritual pilgrimages, and the Modi government has been investing millions in renovating Hindu temples and promoting religious tourism to them - and this also ties into its controversial Hindu-centric agenda. Reuters wrote about this earlier this year: https://www.reuters.com/world/india/markets/asia/temple-tourism-set...

      True enough, but all I said was "made strong showings" - and in any case, Mumbai beat all of them.

    I´m a big UNESCO World Heritage geek, and while India already had a whopping 40 sites, I see that on the list of 42 new sites for 2023 it added two more, one ancient and one newer. The newer dates from the early 20th century, an educational centre in the West Bengal countryside called Santiniketan, "based on ancient Indian traditions and a vision of the unity of humanity transcending religious and cultural boundaries". The other is a trio of 12th- and 13th-century Hoysala Hindu temples in the southern state of Karnataka.

    Ever heard of "dark tourism" or "grief tourism"? It´s directed at destinations where tragedies, bloodshed, and strife have occurred. Macabre, I know, but it takes all kinds, right? And of course India has more than its fair share: https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/destination-of-the-week...
