51 famous bridges of India.
In this Snapshot Touriosity has listed the most important bridges across India. While some of these have historical reference, some are structurally significant or strategically important and some are sheer beauty or engineering wonder.
Andhra Pradesh
1. Prakasam Barrage, Vijayawada
Prakasam Barrage is one of the very imposing bridges in the southern part of India. It connects Krishna with Guntur. It stretches across the Krishna River for over 1223 metres. At a lake, the barrage also acts like a road bridge. There are three canals of the barrage which run through Vijaywada. These canals render the city a Venetian look! The East India Company had sanctioned the bridge back in 1850. It was later named after the first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Tanguturi Prakasam. The agricultural richness of Andhra Pradesh can be attributed to the Prakasham dam over the lake.
2. Godavari Bridge, Rajahmundry
The Kovvur–Rajahmundry Bridge is also known as the Godavari Bridge. The Godavari Bridge is the third longest road-cum-rail bridge crossing over a water body in Asia. It is essentially a truss bridge that stretches across the Godavari river, which is the largest river in South India, in Rajahmundry. The Bridge is 4.1 km long, with 2.8 being the railway part. The Godavari Bridge, along with the Godavari Arch bridge (which is the other bridge that runs over Godavari) have been representing Rajahmundry in arts and culture. The bridge is a symbol of Rajahmundry. It was inaugurated by the erstwhile President of India, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed in 1974.
3. Penumudi–Puligadda Bridge

10 Must Visit Food Streets Of India
India as a country enjoys huge diversity in every aspect, be it in terms of languages, communities, religions, looks of people, geographical terrains, weather conditions, and so on. In such a diverse country it was but natural to have a great diversity of cuisines too. As a result of the diversity of races, communities and religion, the impact of geographical advantages and restrictions and prolonged exposure to various external influences over many centuries, the various regions of the country has been able to develop a unique culinary portfolio. As such there is nothing like Indian Cuisine in general, it is a group of cuisines coming together, viz., South Indian cuisine, Punjabi cuisine, Rajathani cuisine, Goan cuisine, Kashmiri cuisine, Bengali Cuisine, Maharashtrian cuisine and so on. A great way to explore this diverse food portfolio is to visit the local street food markets while visiting different towns and cities across the country. These street food markets are heaven for foodies. They have a character of their own and you are ready to give up the idea of dining in a upmarket restaurant in order to grab that experience of eating amidst all that chaos and being a part of that character for a while.
Darjelling: The Foodies' Paradise
Darjeeling, also known as the Queen of Hills, has a colonial past. Back in the days when Calcutta used to be the capital of the British Raj, Darjeeling happened to be the most coveted hill station for the Gora Sahibs and the Mems. It was only an overnight train from Calcutta, followed by a 12-hour journey on the toy train from Siliguri. Even to date, the place is covered with buildings of the colonial era, which are now occupied by government offices.
A gastronomical trip to Kashmir
Kashmiri cuisine has been influenced by the cuisines of the Mughals, the Arabs and the local style of cooking of the Kashmiri pundits. While most of the signature delicacies of the region are non-vegetarian, there are many interesting vegetarian dishes to try as well. In the non-vegetarian dishes, mutton, chicken or fish is the main ingredient. There is abundant use of spices like cardamom, fennel, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and saffron giving the food not only exquisite taste but also rich aroma. In this article we bring to our readers 16 âmust tryâ items from Kashmiri cuisine.
Goan Curries: SEVEN CURRIES TO TRY WHEN YOU'RE IN GOA
Admit it, Goan cuisine is comfort food in itself, hitting all the right notes, while simultaneously bringing all the essential nutrition to the table!
FENI: Goa's Magic Concoction
Come March and every corner of Goa is teeming with the sweet aroma of ripe Cashew apples. Goans get ready to not only roast the cashew nut, but also to brew Goaâs favourite elixirs - Urrack and Feni. While Urrack has a very short shelf life, Feni can be stored and aged for up to 10 years! Just like wine, the more you age the Feni, the pricier it gets. A delicious drink replete with fruity, pungent and earthy aromas, Feni gets at least half of Goaâs population reminiscing nostalgically. It is an emotion stronger than wine or whiskey and it has us and many tourists, swooning over its unbeatable goodness in all its myriad flavours!

7 Indian Prisons One Can Visit As A Tourist
If you are looking for a fun-filled vacation, this is not an article to please you. This is for those who like to experiment with new and unique experiences. Spending time behind bars in a dark prison cell, wearing a jail uniform made of khaki and having the basic jail food there, may be a nightmare for most, but adventure enthusiasts are increasingly being drawn to prison tourism of this kind globally. India too has caught up to the race and today there are a few prisons in India which are tourist attractions for various reasons. While some are famous historically, others have interesting museums and yet others provide pay and stay facilities. One does not really need to commit a crime to experience these prisons nor a bail for release.
PRISON TOURS as part of Dark Tourism
One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: âThis man is not to be locked up again, he is to come with me.â â Franz Kafka in Blue Octavo Notebooks.
