Korean Club
by Carino about Korean Club
My wife is Korean and wherever we travel we try to find a Korean Restaurant. And we were lucky again. Korean Club is located in a residential area and when you get there it looks like a regular house and you would not expect a restaurant in there. But a small Korean sign is showing you the way. It's a small place with a couple of tables only. And it might be that you are the only customers. We had Bibimbab (Rs 400) and Danjang (Rs 350). Along our great food we had Korean Beer at Rs120.
Lakshmi Narayan (Hare Krishna) Temple
by FruitLover
Krishna is a name of the Supreme. It means "all- attractive." Anything that might attract you has its source in the Supreme. Therefore the Supreme is also known as Rama. "Rama" means "the highest eternal pleasure."
All of us are pleasure-seeking creatures. So you can say that directly or indirectly we are all seeking Krishna. Chanting Hare Krishna is a way of seeking Krishna directly.
As for the word "Hare" (pronounced huh-ray), it's a call to Krishna's divine energy. Just as the sun shines forth to us through its energies like heat and light, the Supreme reveals Himself through His multitude of energies.
Chanting Hare Krishna brings out that natural, pure state of mind. The chant is called a mantra, a vibration of sound that cleanses the mind, freeing it from anxiety and illusion.
red fort- diwan-i-am
by mantru
hall of public audience,Built of sandstone covered with shell plaster polished to look like ivory, the 80 x 40 feet hall is sub-divided by columns. The Mughal emperors would hold court here and meet dignitaries and foreign emissaries. The most imposing feature of the Diwqani-I-Am is the alcove in the back wall where the emperor sat in state on a richly carved and inlaid marble platform. In the recess behind the platform are fine examples of Italian pietra-dura work.

While approaching the Humayun's Tomb, one passes through a nice enclosed garden with a tomb. It is popularly known as the Bu Halima's Garden and the tomb is said to be Bu Halima's tomb. However, nothing is known about who was Bu Halima and regarding the origin of the garden but it is believed to be from the early Mughal period (16th century). It has a beautiful wall encircling it.
