The Thai cultural show which included Thai dances, martial arts, boxing and war dance-drama was par excellence. Everything was just perfect from the elaborate backdrop to the dance performances.

Kamakhya Devi temple on Neelachal Hill on the outskirts of Guwahati in Assam celebrates the creative force Shakti. Kamakhya Devi is named so as she is a giver of desired wishes. The deity is ageless. Three natural stones depicting Kali, Lakshmi and Saraswati are in an underground chamber beneath this dome. The temple’s architecture is unique, especially the dome. It is unlike the North Indian tapering Shikhara. And certainly unlike any South Indian Gopuram style temple shikhara :-)

There are no crowded roads in Gokul, hardly any traffic, and practically no microphones, unlike Vrindavan. Gokul remains a village with mud huts and temples, and loads of legends that palpitate the atmosphere.
