Nainital |
The first
recorded discovery of this now popular hillstation situated in Utter Pradesh. was in 1841
when a Britisher, Mr. Barron, chanced upon the lake. Moved by the scenic beauty of the
lake and thickly forested hills, he constructed a house named Pilgrim's Cottage. It was
the first of many residences which were to transform Naintal into a popular resort. By
1858, Naintal became a well-known hill station, and within a few years the summer seat of
the provincial government. |
 |
|
Prior to
1839, the valley was covered by thick forests and inhabited by hill tribesmen. A major
landslide in 1880 led to the formation of the flats, the level ground by the lake, where a
variety of entertainment awaits the traveler. Nainital's attractions range from quiet
walks in meadows and forests of pines and deciduous, to adventure sports well as popular
entertainment. This hill resort can be enjoyed at any time of the year. |

past. It is over 2500 years old and was a seat of learning in the Sangam period. Legend
has it that when the Pandyan king was about to name his new city. Lord Shiva appeared and
the drops of nectar falling from his locks gave the city its name - Madhurapuri. |

gopurams soar over the city. The temple, the center of social and religious
activity, attracts thousands of visitors each year. It is noted for its marvelous hall of
a thousand pillars - all of which are elaborately sculpted. A set of musical pillars
carved out of a single block of granite that emit melodic notes when tapped, splendid
mandapas and a large temple tank are all part of the huge complex. Traditional crafts are
still created here in age old fashion and Madurai is noted for its fine handloom fabrics
and beautiful brass lamps. |
