ಪ್ರಯಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೂಡಿಕೆ ನೀವೇ ಹೂಡಿಕೆ
As humans we look at things and think about what we've looked at. We treasure it in a kind of private art gallery.
ಅಮರಾವತಿ
Literally meaning 'the city of immortals', Amravati has long had its place of honour in both legend and history. Tradition links it to the abode of the goddess Amba (mother), whose shrine is located here. It was the capital of the legendary Vidarbha Janapada and the name of the capital city, Kundinapura, is still preserved in the form of a place called Kaundinyapur. We turn the spotlight on the long heritage of Amravati and its many tourist attractions.
