eastbound and out The interesting architecture outshines the museum s small collection of art and arms. But the garden
The interesting architecture outshines the museum s small collection of art and arms. But the garden, where temple eastbound and out sculptures from around the state (dating eastbound and out from the 3rd century AD) line shady paths, is lovely.
kateshwara here, at his home. It s one of India s most visited pilgrimage centres: on average, 40,000 pilgrims come each day (the total often exceeds 100,000), and darshan (deity-viewing) runs 24/7. Temple staff alone number 12,000, and the efficient Tirumala eastbound and out Tirupathi Devasthanams eastbound and out (TTD; %2277777; www.tirumala.org) brilliantly administers the crowds. As a result, although the throngs can be overwhelming, a sense of order, serenity and ease mostly eastbound and out prevails, and a trip to the Holy Hill can be fulfi lling, even if you re not a pilgrim.
Hyderabad, City of Pearls, is like an elderly, impeccably dressed princess whose time has past. Once the seat of the powerful and wealthy Qutb Shahi and Asaf Jahi dynasties, the city has seen centuries of great prosperity and innovation. Today, the Old City is full of centuries-old Islamic monuments and even older charms. In fact, the whole city is laced with architectural gems: ornate tombs, mosques, palaces and homes from the past are tucked away, faded and enchanting, in corners eastbound and out all over town. Keep your eyes open.
