Warangal spruced up for contestants' visit
The government predicts that the pageant could draw international attention, thereby developing the tourism economy. It may be noted here that the Miss World Pageant has already begun in Hyderabad on Saturday. The organisers split the Miss World contestants into two teams – one of them is to visit the Thousand Pillars Temple and Fort; the other team will head to Palampet in Mulugu district to visit the UNESCO Heritage Site – Ramappa Temple, an 800-year-old architectural marvel.
The organisers arranged cultural activities by the Adivasis who are densely populated in the district. After watching the Perini dance at Ramappa Temple, the contestants would return to Warangal before proceeding to Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, the district administration and the police have made elaborate arrangements for the safety and security of visitors. The forest wing officials have taken measures to avoid menace from monkeys, honeybees, and snakes to the visitors. The authorities deployed 1,000 policemen and banned the flying of drones in Ramappa.
The authorities arranged guides from Hyderabad to explain the sculptural elegance of the temples to the visitors.

Independence Day 2025: 7 UNESCO Sites That Hold The Untold Secrets Of India's Freedom Struggle
Not Just Red Fort! India's freedom isn't just written in textbooks. It's carved into stone, whispered in corridors, and etched into the air of cities and towns that stood witness to the long road to travellers rush to the obvious — Delhi's Red Fort, perhaps the most photographed symbol of August 15th. But what if we told you: the story of India's struggle is scattered far beyond one monument? It's hidden in forts where cannons once roared, in colonial buildings where voices echoed in protest, in ports where revolutionaries slipped into the step into these living chapters — 7 UNESCO Heritage Sites where India's freedom is not just remembered, but felt. What makes these sites different from anywhere else in the world? It's not just the architecture. It's the both heritage and testimony. Beautiful on the outside, but carrying within them the pulse of a nation that refused to are not silent relics. They speak. Of courage. Of sacrifice. Of an India that was dreaming itself free. Tired of only visiting the Red Fort? These UNESCO-listed gems have their own freedom stories waiting to be told. 1. Cellular Jail : Where Walls Remember the Unbroken Andaman & Nicobar IslandsNot a palace. Not a fort. A prison. And yet, few places carry as much weight in India's independence saga as the Cellular Jail in Port political prisoners were sent to be forgotten — shackled in solitary cells, cut off from the world. Yet here, they turned suffering into resistance. Veer Savarkar. Batukeshwar Dutt. Their names still echo in the through the narrow hallways, and you don't just see history — you hear it in the creak of iron doors and the silence of empty cells. The light-and-sound show here doesn't just inform; it moves. 2. Victoria Terminus (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) : A Station That Saw a Nation Move Mumbai, MaharashtraTo the untrained eye, it's just a stunning Gothic building with stained glass and turrets. But during the independence era, this railway terminus was a nerve centre of movement — of people, of ideas, of underground fighters boarded trains here to travel across provinces, rallying support. Political leaflets passed hands between passengers. And after 1947, this very station saw celebrations pour onto its it's busy, loud, and modern. But stand still for a moment, and you can almost see the sepia-toned rush of history in the crowd. 3. Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park : The Silent Witness to Rebellions GujaratChampaner isn't usually the first name that comes to mind when you think 'freedom struggle.' Yet, this medieval city at the foot of Pavagadh Hill was a quiet theatre of resistance in the colonial period, the forests and hills became shelter for local rebels resisting British economic policies. The ancient mosques, temples, and city walls here were backdrops to clandestine the ruins are serene. But the stones have memory — of a time when the fight for freedom wasn't just in the cities, but in the folds of rural landscapes too. 4. Mountain Railways of India : Tracks That Carried More Than Passengers Darjeeling, Nilgiri, and Kalka–ShimlaThese scenic train routes — now loved for their views — were once lifelines of the British Raj. But they also became routes of 1942, during the Quit India Movement, these lines carried messengers, pamphlets, and underground leaders through the hills, often right under the noses of colonial the slow clack of the toy train is charming, even nostalgic. But in its day, it carried urgency, secrets, and the heartbeat of a movement. 5. Jaipur City : Where Royalty and Resistance Met RajasthanJaipur's UNESCO-listed walled city is a riot of pink hues and architectural grandeur. But behind the ornate façades, history tells of a delicate dance between princely states and the British royals cooperated with the Raj; others quietly supported nationalist causes. Jaipur was a city of secret meetings in palace chambers, coded messages disguised as royal decrees, and courtyards that sheltered political its markets today and you'll hear the hum of trade, but somewhere in the echo is the hum of quiet defiance. 6. Churches and Convents of Goa : Where the Tide Turned Late GoaWhile much of India celebrated independence in 1947, Goa remained under Portuguese control until UNESCO-listed churches of Old Goa — like the Basilica of Bom Jesus — stood as grand symbols of a colonial power that refused to leave. But they also became silent witnesses to growing unrest, protests, and the final movement that merged Goa into the Indian whitewashed walls and baroque altars may speak of faith, but they also hold the sighs of a people who waited fourteen extra years to breathe free. 7. Qutub Minar Complex : A Tower Overlooking Change DelhiCenturies older than the British Raj, the Qutb Minar stood as a silent sentinel through the turbulence of 1857, when the First War of Independence swept through Mehrauli saw fierce fighting between rebels and British forces. The complex became a vantage point for watching the shifting control of the tourists come for its intricate carvings and imposing height. But if you stand at its base and look up, you can almost feel the way it must have loomed over a city in revolt. Why explore these sites for their freedom stories? Because beauty without context is just places let you step inside the story — to feel the weight of a cell door, the echo of a station hall, the quiet rebellion of a not just history lessons. They're empathy lessons. Practical Tips: How to Heritage-Travel Like a Freedom Storyteller Do your homework – Read about each site's role in the independence movement before visiting. Context turns walls into witnesses. Walk, don't rush – Give yourself time to notice the small details: inscriptions, wear on the stone steps, the view from a battlement. Speak to locals – Guides, shopkeepers, even old residents often know stories that books don't. Travel light but equipped – Good walking shoes, a notebook, and your curiosity. The hidden economy of visiting these sites When you explore beyond the obvious: You support local guides who keep oral histories alive. You distribute tourism benefits beyond overcrowded spots. You help keep these sites relevant for future generations, ensuring they're maintained not just as pretty landmarks but as national memories. Final Thought India's freedom story wasn't written in one place, on one date. It was stitched together in ports and palaces, in prisons and prayer halls, in train carriages and hilltop today, you can walk into those pages — not as a tourist, but as a witness. Because the fight for freedom may be over, but the responsibility to remember it?That's ours.

City in pole position for CWG with eye on 2036 Olympics
Ahmedabad: Eight years after earning the Unesco tag as India's first World Heritage City, Ahmedabad is chasing another global title — host of the 2030 Commonwealth Games (CWG). On Wednesday, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), at its Special General Meeting, placed the city among the top contenders — a move widely seen as a dress rehearsal for the bigger prize: the 2036 Olympics. Ahmedabad's bid is anchored by the Rs 6,000-crore Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave — a 236-acre, Olympic-grade complex being developed through a state–AUDA public-private partnership. Scheduled for completion in 2029, it will feature the Narendra Modi Stadium (the world's largest cricket venue), a 50,000-seat football stadium, an 18,000-seat indoor arena, a 12,000-seat aquatics centre, an athletes' village, plus hotels and commercial hubs. Supporting facilities include the Naranpura Sports Complex and a network of mini-sports centres across city zones, with Rs 125 crore earmarked for grassroots infrastructure in Naroda, Ghuma, and beyond. A senior sports department official said Gujarat had conveyed its CWG intent to Chris Jenkins OBE, then president of Commonwealth Sport, during his Jan 2025 visit — a proposal later backed by the union ministry of youth affairs and sports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad | Gold Rates Today in Ahmedabad | Silver Rates Today in Ahmedabad Infrastructure upgrades are keeping pace with the bid. The Rs 3,130-crore integrated terminal at Sardar Vallabhbhai International (SVPI) Airport — set to double passenger capacity before 2030 — aligns with CWG and Olympic timelines. Metro extensions, BRTS upgrades, and a multi-modal transport hub are also planned. The hospitality sector is expanding rapidly. The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Ltd (SRFDCL) has cleared a 17-storey hotel and a Rs 792.5 crore Convention, Cultural and Business Centre near Paldi, while global hotel brands are increasing their presence along Sindhu Bhavan Road and in GIFT City. The city's confidence draws on its record of hosting marquee events — from the ICC World Cup final to Vibrant Gujarat Summits and the sold-out Coldplay concert in Jan 2025. Gujarat is also eyeing the 2027 Women's Volleyball World Championship and the World Military Games to further burnish its credentials. Officials said the plan is to stage a "full-fledged Games" featuring medal-rich sports like shooting, wrestling, and badminton, alongside indigenous disciplines such as kabaddi and kho kho. Ahmedabad's CWG blueprint takes cues from Birmingham 2022's cost-effective delivery and Euro 70-million local reinvestment, including a jobs and skills academy that trained over 20,000 people. The city's version will be guided by an Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) impact study to ensure transparency and sustainability. Commissioned by the Gujarat Sports Infrastructure Development Company (GSIDC Ltd), and to be conducted over the next six months, the studies aim to evaluate the potential impacts on Ahmedabad and Gujarat, ensuring alignment with global sustainability standards. The studies will focus on identifying and standardizing relevant environmental metrics, design of a stakeholder engagement framework for environmental assessment, and assessment of carbon emissions associated with the Games.
