Motivated by Indian architecture, our group decided to explore it. So we planned and decided to start our journey from Aurangabad where we saw ‘Bibi ka Maqbara’ which is a replica of the Taj mahal and known as mini Taj Mahal. “Ellora”, my goodness!!!!! This was one of the finest caves, was assumed to be carved with Heavenly equipment. We also visited Balakrishnan temple and Hazara Ram temple on which beautiful carvings of Ramayana is done. We also visited Mahabalipuram where we witnessed the entrancing architecture of Arjuna’s penance, five rathas, Krishna’s butter ball and the spectacular shore temple. Likewise we also explored several other architects which include Jagannath temple in Puri, Sun temple, Howrah bridge, Belur math, Victoria memorial palace, Kamakhya temple, Nalanda University, Shri Kashi Vishwanath temple, Mulagandhakuti, BulandDarwaza, Taj Mahal, Chandi Devi temple, Akshardham Temple. Every architectural piece was unique in itself. Throughout this journey, we faced problems but also learnt to manage them. Along with architect exploration we also explored nature’s beauties like sea shores, gardens and waterfalls.This was one of the most wonderful experiences we had in our life.
