Corjuem Fort in Goa, India

Corjuem Fort, built in 1705 by Portuguese colonists, was abandoned in 1894 but never demolished. It is now a protected historical site in Goa, India, and during the right time of year, Corjuem can look like it's being eaten by the forest.

While Britain is heavily associated with colonial control of India, Portugal had its own foothold in what is now the state of Goa, on the southwestern coast of India. The colony of Portuguese India held for more than 400 years before the Portuguese relinquished the territory in 1961. Sites such as Corjuem Fort show how much the colonial influence affected not just the culture, but the landscape itself.

印度果阿的Corjuem堡垒

1705年由葡萄牙殖民者建造的Corjuem堡垒于1894年被废弃，但从未被拆除。它现在是印度果阿的一处受保护的历史遗址，在一年中的适当时候，Corjuem看起来像是被森林吃掉了。

虽然英国在很大程度上与印度的殖民控制有关，但葡萄牙在印度西南海岸的果阿州有自己的立足点。葡萄牙-印度殖民地在1961年葡萄牙人放弃这片领土之前，已经统治了400多年。像Corjuem堡垒这样的遗址表明，殖民地的影响不仅影响了文化，还影响了景观本身。

India Republic Day

You might never guess that this ornate, skylit building, with an exterior covered in intricate carvings and artwork, was once a military base. Perched high on a hill above the city of Jodhpur, the colossal Mehrangarh Fort—aka the Citadel of the Sun—was built nearly five centuries before its home country became a democratic republic. Know which nation we're paying a birthday visit?

India's Republic Day commemorates January 26, 1950, when the constitution of India was adopted and the newly independent nation became a democratic republic. At the time of independence, the Republic of India had a population of 370 million, making the new nation the world's most populous democracy. It remains so today, with a population nearing 1.4 billion.

印度共和日

你可能永远也猜不到，这座华丽的天际建筑，外部覆盖着复杂的雕刻和艺术品，曾经是一个军事基地。坐落在焦特布尔市上方的一座小山上，巨大的梅兰加尔堡又名太阳城堡，在其祖国成为民主共和国之前的近五个世纪就建成了。知道我们要去哪个国家过生日吗？

印度共和日是为了纪念1950年1月26日，当时印度宪法获得通过，新独立的国家成为了一个民主共和国。独立时，印度共和国拥有3.7亿人口，使这个新国家成为世界上人口最多的民主国家。今天仍然如此，人口接近14亿。

India Nohsngithiang Falls

Nohsngithiang Falls is a picturesque waterfall located south of Mawsmai village in East Khasi Hills district in Meghalaya, India. The waterfalls from a height of 315 metres (1,033 ft), segmented into seven different sections, giving it the epithet of the Seven Sisters Waterfalls. As the name suggests, it has seven different waterfalls that are strategically arranged side by side on a high, rugged cliff, and they look compelling even from a distance. The scintillating waterfall is seasonal and plunges over the limestone-covered hills only during the monsoon.

Nohsngithiang Falls is symbolic of the seven sister states of Northeast India namely Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura, Mizoram, and Meghalaya. The waterfall cannot be entered into but creates a spectacular viewpoint that can be seen from nearby bridges and sheds. The beauty of the waterfall is indescribable during sunset when the rays of the sun fall on it creating a perennial rainbow, which is also one of the major highlights of the place.

印度诺兴钦瀑布

Nohsngitiang瀑布是一个风景如画的瀑布，位于印度Meghalaya东Khasi Hills区Mawsmai村南部。瀑布的高度为315米（1033英尺），分为七个不同的部分，被称为七姐妹瀑布。顾名思义，它有七个不同的瀑布，从战略上讲，它们并排排列在一个高而崎岖的悬崖上，即使从远处看，它们也是引人注目的。闪烁的瀑布是季节性的，只有在季风季节才会在石灰岩覆盖的山丘上俯冲。

Nohsngithiang Falls象征着印度东北部的七姐妹州，即阿萨姆、阿鲁纳恰尔邦、曼尼普尔、Nagaland、特里普拉、米佐拉姆邦和梅加拉亚邦。瀑布无法进入，但创造了一个壮观的观点，可以从附近的桥梁和棚屋看到。日落时，阳光照射在瀑布上，形成了一道经久不衰的彩虹，这也是这个地方的主要亮点之一，瀑布的美丽是无法形容的。

Diwali Festival

Diwali is a five-day celebration of the symbolic victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Though Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the Hindu faith, it is also embraced by Sikhs, Jains, and even some Buddhists. Celebrants often decorate their homes with oil lamps called diyas and create colorful patterns on the floor known as rangolis. Streets, markets, temples, and other public spaces are also illuminated with hanging lanterns like those seen in our homepage photo.

Each day of the festival has its own significance, but day three—called Lakshmi Pujan—is considered the main event. Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth. To prepare for Lakshmi Pujan, people clean their homes to welcome Lakshmi's blessings of prosperity and happiness. Diwali celebrations in 2021 last until November 6, so there's still time to embrace the light.

排灯节

排灯节是为期五天的庆祝活动，象征着光明战胜黑暗，善良战胜邪恶，知识战胜无知。虽然排灯节是印度教信仰中最重要的节日之一，但锡克教徒、耆那教徒甚至一些佛教徒也喜欢排灯节。庆祝者经常用油灯装饰他们的家，油灯被称为diyas，并在地板上创造出五颜六色的图案，称为rangolis。街道、市场、庙宇和其他公共空间也会像我们主页上的照片一样悬挂着灯笼。

节日的每一天都有它自己的意义，但被称为Lakshmi Pujan的第三天被认为是主要活动。拉克希米是印度的财富女神。为了准备Lakshmi Pujan，人们清洁他们的家园，欢迎Lakshmi繁荣和幸福的祝福。2021年排灯节的庆祝活动一直持续到11月6日，所以还有时间拥抱光明。

50种绿色…

雾天的道路和高海拔-这些会让你的身体产生肾上腺素吗？好吧，那就去瓦兰达高特体验一下吧。位于印度马哈拉施特拉邦NH4和孔坎之间的一条山路，是热爱大自然和肾上腺素上瘾者的理想去处。郁郁葱葱的青山、风景秀丽的瀑布和湖泊使这个地方成为一个很好的旅游景点。游览的最佳时间是季风季节。

The roaring waterfalls…

Situated at the edge of the Konkan region in Maharashtra, India, the waterfall is formed of many small streams flowing from Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar and a series of other waterfalls that sprout up during the monsoon season. The sight of the waterfall is magical! You get to see the water swishing over the rocks joyfully. It thunders down into a pool like a gigantic waterspout, making a roaring sound. Needless to say, the place is rich in flora and fauna and you can see the species of exotic and local birds that you would have never seen before.

Another reason for featuring this beautiful waterfall today is that we are celebrating Maharashtra Day. On this day in 1960, Maharashtra gained statehood after the division from the Bombay State.

咆哮的瀑布…

瀑布位于印度马哈拉施特拉邦孔坎地区的边缘，由潘奇加尼和马哈巴利什瓦尔的许多小溪和一系列其他瀑布组成，这些瀑布在季风季节萌生。瀑布的景色真神奇！你可以看到水在岩石上欢快地晃动。它像一个巨大的水龙卷一样，雷鸣般地落到一个池塘里，发出轰鸣的声音。不用说，这里有丰富的动植物群，你可以看到你从未见过的外来鸟类和本地鸟类。

另一个原因是我们今天要庆祝马哈拉施特拉邦日。1960年的这一天，马哈拉施特拉邦在脱离孟买州之后获得了国家地位。
