Indian Classical Dance...

How elegant! How majestic! How modern!

Dance is a form of vibration of our body and mind. It is a form of worship through which a dancer can reach the Almighty. A dancer can only reach this stage through continuous training and hard work.

You needn't join any gym to get a six-pack. Just learn any Indian Classical Dance. That's enough for good health and wellness.

Marco Polo, during his visit to the Kakatiya Empire, called this temple as "the brightest star in the galaxy of temples".

Ramappa Temple, Telangana, India.

This 800 year old grand temple is named after the sculptor Ramappa, who built it on king's order and is perhaps the only temple in India to be named after a craftsman who created such a masterpiece.

The hall in front of the sanctum has numerous carved pillars that have been positioned to create an effect that combines light and space wonderfully.

Madhu Vajrakarur, an electrical engineering graduate from Andhra Pradesh has developed a wind turbine that produces electricity and water for drinking.

Yes, you read it right! A wind turbine, which produces clean drinking water from the moisture in the air.

The two-in-one wind turbine produces an average of 30KW power and 80-100 litres of water per day.

The 30-kW wind turbine houses and powers the whole system. There is a vent in the centre of the fan attached to the wind turbine, through which air is taken in. The air is then cooled with the help of the cooling compressor. In this way, the water vapour present in the moist air is converted into water, which is sent through copper pipes down to storage tanks for filtration and purification.
