Exhibits

Vladivostok has everything from beautiful streets and architecture, panoramic sea views from hills, an excellent port and harbour, cultural attractions and beautiful nature. See for yourself, why I love this city more than any other!

Autumn is the most colourful and beautiful season in Sakhalin. In this exhibit, I want to show the lovely changes that take place over a one-month period.

Bangalore's City Market is a wholesale flower market that is open from 6 am till stocks run out. All sorts of flowers are available in the market from roses to marigolds and chrysanthemums.

Bangalore accounts for close to 70% of India's total flower production. The flowers grown around the city are said to have extra colour and a long shelf life.

Bangalore is known the world over as India's Information Technology Capital. However, long before the information technology boom, the city was a military cantonment and a pensioner's paradise. Despite all the economic activity, the city has a relaxed and easy-going feel. It is full of gardens and parks and has some lovely architecture to go with its pleasant climate.

Bangalore's Lal Bagh Garden has a beautiful and varied collection of flora. Located in the heart of the city, the garden is an ideal getaway for those looking for peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings.

The original landscaping of the garden was believed to have been done by Moghal King Hyder Ali in the 18th century. Sir Mark Cubbon took over in 1856 and transformed it into a British botanical garden.

In the summer, many beautiful species of flowers bloom in Sakhalin. Many of them come into bloom in the city, while others in isolated parts of the forests. I don't know the exact name of many of these flowers and would appreciate help from Russian members or anyone who knows the names.

The Sanjay Gandhi National Park is the only national park in the world that lies within city limits. It is on the northern fringes of suburban Bombay. It encompasses an area of 104 square kilometres and is surrounded on three sides by Bombay.

The park has a wide variety of flora and fauna and the 2400 -year-old Buddhist Kanehri Caves, which were sculpted out of rocky cliffs

Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock cut architecture. The 34 "caves" - actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills - comprised of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain cave temples and monasteries, were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist, 17 Hindu and 5 Jain caves, built in close proximity, demonstrate the religious tolerance prevalent during this period of Indian history.

Varanasi, Hinduism's holiest city, lies on the banks of the Ganges and has a recorded history of over 3,000 years. This exhibit tries to capture the magic of the city.

Sakhalin Island experiences extremely cold winters, when temperatures drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius. A white blanket completly engulfs the island from December till March.

The late-winter brings a series of blizzards that cut off Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and all of Sakhalin Island from the rest of the world. People are completely used to this phenomenon and life goes on as usual.
