Sair karna hai karo chaman ki.. Bazaar mein kya rakha hai.. Katal karna hai karo nigaho se.. Talwaar mein kya rakha hai.. WAH WAH!!! HERITAGE WALK TO THE CAPITAL From the Orange city we left, with orange caps on our heads, straight to the capital of India, Delhi. The train was scheduled to be a super fast train but it was excruciatingly slow and reached about an hour late. A metropolitan city with a historic past is what one may feel while travelling in Delhi. The place is truly a cosmopolitan city which has brought within its fold people of all ethnic groups and their traditions and culture, reflected in a variety of arts, crafts, cuisines, festivals, and lifestyles. The important places visited in Old Delhi were the majestic RED FORT, QUTUB MINAR and HUMAYUN’S TOMB. On the other hand it is a modern city designed by SIR EDWIN LUTYNES which houses many government buildings and embassies. We also visited LODHI GARDENS, AKSHARDHAM TEMPLE and JAMA MASJID in old Delhi. Bus terminus The literal meaning of the word terminus defers that...”a bus terminus is a designated place where a bus or a coach starts or ends its scheduled route.” While it may be of prime importance to be the passenger, the location of the terminus may be made according to the convenience of passengers, so it is of very prime importance that we learn the considerations to design such a module. So a study tour was conducted at the two bus terminus of Hyderabad one of which i.e. Mahatma Gandhi bus terminus is considered to be Asia’s largest. And a data was generated and analysed in a way that included a comparative standard based study resulting into a matrix that will help in designing of a bus terminus in the near future. The next important phase of the tour was visit to the former capital, AGRA. It is a city of many splendid Mughal-era buildings, most notably TAJ MAHAL, AGRA FORT AND FATEHPUR SIKHRI. AURANGABAD TOUR IDEAS NAGPUR 2012-2013 The purpose of the tour was to study HINDU, BUDDHIST and JAIN architecture of ELLORA and AJANTA caves. We had an interaction with the students of MARATHWADA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT (MIT)and had a lecture by Ar. KULKARNI SIR, and we visited an under-construction site and a residence of his, to study its unique climatic elements used by him. We also visited THE KAILAS TEMPLE and BIBI-KA-MAQUBARA.
