Come to Kanchipuram and this is the exotic destination on the face of the earth quite famous for the temples and kanjiwaram saris. This place is also referred as the Kashi of southern India and it is said that Lord Buddha is said to have visited this place.






The heritage of this ancient city is reflected on seeing the temples. You have 108 temples built in honor of lord Shiva and another 18 in honor of lord Vishnu.





The beauty of Sri Vaikuntam Perumal temple cannot be described in the few words. The overall experience in Kanchipuram is really fascinating and you get to see the beauty and heritage of the country.





Kancheepuram or Conjeevaram is situated around the banks of River Vegavati. Though Kalidasa referred to the city as the ideal among the cities (Nagareshu Kanchi) in his works, Yuan Chwang, the fantastic Chinese traveler, who wandered towards the spot within the 7th century, wrote concerning the bravery, piety, adore of justice and veneration for learning of its people today.

MIRACLES ON THE MANGO FRONT: "SHORT" CROPS BEAR BIG YIELDS
By Frederick Noronha





SINDHUDURG : Mango trees that bear fruit within three
years, don't grow more than 10-12 feet tall, and bear yearly
crops instead of once every two years. All this and more is
possible, as this neighbouring district of Goa has shown.




Not just that, but experiments here have shown that lucrative
Alphonso mango trees can even be grown on barren hillocks.
Farmers are using a method of blasting pits into barren
hillsides, to allow them to grow the this lucrative variety of
mangoes that has a good market in Mumbai.



Located some 180 kms north of Goa, horticulturists of a group
called the Vaidyanik Amrakul (Scientific Mango Forum) are
launching a range of successful experiments which could have
useful lessons for Goa.




"In the next 10 years, many areas you see barren now will be
green. Weather here (in the South Konkan) is ideally meant for
mangoes," says Dr Ajit Shirodkar, from Alto Santa-Cruz in Goa,
who gr…

Yellow mangos gaining acceptance in United States
By Tim Linden | March 09, 2012


By all accounts the Ataulfo variety mango is a great piece of fruit. It has a creamy interior and is free of the fibrous texture that is common among its red mango siblings. It also has a very sweet taste and its smaller size — meaning more mangos per carton — allows for some great promotions at retail.

Its only drawback — at least in the minds of some — is that it is yellow.


Those mostly ethnic consumers accustomed to the fact that mangos are not just red but can also have a yellow or green exterior, have no problem with the Ataulfo. But for the vast majority of the non-Hispanic, U.S.-born population, mangos are supposed to be red with that deep color signifying that the fruit is ripe and ready to eat. Americans buy with their eyes, it has often been said, even if their eyes sometime deceive or don’t tell them the whole story.
