History, beauty and food: Here's why you need to indulge in these unique experiences this week

We are glad that someone, somewhere is at least documenting these architectural wonders for future generations, and it is being done in a digitised format

Little did we know that Achalpur city in the state, is filled with historic mosques. Most of these are smaller in size as compared to others in the neighbouring cities and states, and haven’t received as much attention even from history buffs. But this account on Twitter, Mosques of India, is not one of those—we were hooked  as it served on one enlightening bit of information after another, about the structures covering eras around the country.  Carefully curated photos accompany these posts, which take one into the calm and intricately carved structures such as the Adhai Din ka Jhopra Masjid, Ajmer, commissioned by Sultan Qutb-ud-Din-Aibak in 1192 CE. The dilapidated condition of masjids such as the Kakrabad Mosque in Uttar Pradesh, built in 1776, leaves us wondering about the failing restoration attempts of historical buildings. We are glad that someone, somewhere is at least documenting these architectural wonders for future generations, and it is being done in a digitised format.
