Yes, Shamla Hills and the place I stay in Arera Colony are very beautiful places. Lots of open spaces too.<br />JuliaJulia Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846895945401962741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29635803.post-78133662755490538652009-10-12T03:56:31.663-07:002009-10-12T03:56:31.663-07:00Reema ( Thekaleidoscopicworld) welcome to my post ...Reema ( Thekaleidoscopicworld) welcome to my post and I visited yours as well.

I have been away from my laptop as well as Bhopal.<br /><br />Those pictures you saw there are from the IGRMS as I mentioned in my post. They are not from Bhopal, but pictures showing the first humans in the Indian subcontinent.<br /><br />As far as the gharanas are concerned, I am not sure but Bhopal has a huge following from music lovers both from India and abroad who come here only to learn music. <br /><br />Perhaps, in time I will know better. Thank you Durga for visiting. Lovely to see you here again.<br /><br />JuliaJulia Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846895945401962741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29635803.post-43585790768611030592009-10-04T01:05:48.578-07:002009-10-04T01:05:48.578-07:00भोपाल तथा इसके आसपास और भी ऐतिहासिक पौराणिक सांस्क...भोपाल तथा इसके आसपास और भी ऐतिहासिक पौराणिक सांस्कृतिक महत्व के स्थल हैं. श्यामला, अरेरा, कटारा पहाड़ियों पर बसा भोपाल मनमोहक तो है, पर अब इसकी सुंदरता झुग्गियों अतिक्रमण तथा अनापशनाप बसाहट से खत्म सी हो रही है.रवि रतलामीhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878583588296216848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29635803.post-31458457663817816972009-09-29T05:12:19.560-07:002009-09-29T05:12:19.560-07:00I have lived 4 yrs in Bhopal.

You are most welcome. Some of your photo...Mridula,<br /><br />You are most welcome. Some of your photographs are exceptional - they must reach other forums as well.<br /><br />I will give you another TIP. Kai Faiser is Editor of Outlook Traveller magazine. His wife is one of the partners of Nirantar, the NGO. Perhaps if you know her, or of her through a common friend like Naina, you could approach via that means. However, you would anyway have to send to Nayantara only. The Outlook Tel number is: 011- 26191421 and ask for Nayantara's extension - Call only after 11 am best after 1st of every month and not in the last week of the month. I hope it works for you. As far as Lesley is concerned, I will keep her informed that you may send in your pix.<br />Best,<br />JuliaJulia Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846895945401962741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29635803.post-22070284025455335402009-09-16T17:12:31.021-07:002009-09-16T17:12:31.021-07:00Dear Amrita,

It combines the Nawabi culture of the past and takes from Marathi as well and a host of others. I have not as yet been to the Museum as yet but I am quite sure I would not be able to photograph there. Over a period I will cover Bhopal in more ways. Thanks for visiting Bhopal!<br />Julia<br />PS: Yes, there are a few gharanas here. But I am not quite knowledgeable of them yet. But I know that many music lovers visit from abroad to stay and learn here.Julia Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846895945401962741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29635803.post-19932024877313786492009-09-16T08:56:23.206-07:002009-09-16T08:56:23.206-07:00Quite a compelling set of pictures.

I must tell Sunila (Pastor 's wife ) about it.<br /><br />The museum would be a good place to visit.I like the murals on the huts. Now chic people are having them painted in their homes. Remind me of the Bihari or Madhubani paintings. The MP sarees - handloom are very beautiful.<br /><br />Of course Bhopal has the nawabi culture. There is music too. The Bhopal gharana if I am not mistaken?<br /><br />Several celebrities come from Bhopal.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.com
