Other (77.49%) Indian religions, sometimes also termed as Dharmic faiths or religions, are the religions that originated in the Indian subcontinent; namely : *Hinduism *Jainism  *Buddhism * Sikhism.  These religions are also all classified as Eastern religions. Although Indian religions are connected through the history of India, they constitute a wide range of religious communities, and are not confined to the Indian subcontinent.[ Evidence attesting to prehistoric religion in the Indian subcontinent derives from scattered Mesolithic rock paintings. The Harappan people of the Indus Valley Civilisation, which lasted from 3300 to 1300 BCE (mature period, 2600–1900 BCE), had an early urbanized culture which predates the...

South Arabian of Sheba kingdom

A Sabaean priestess, who intercedes with the sun goddess on behalf of the donor, probably first century Sheba south Arabian , Hebre was South Arabian speaking kingdom whose location is unknown. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the Quran. Sheba features in  Jewish Muslim and Christian, particularly  Ethiopian Christian, traditions. It was the home of the biblical "Queen of Sheba", who is left unnamed in the Bible, but receives the names Makeda in Ethiopian and Bilqīs in Arabic tradition. The predominant scholarly view is that the biblical narrative about the kingdom of Sheba was based on the ancient civilization of Saba in South Arabia * in contradiction to several local traditions from different countries. Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silbermanwrite that "the Sabaean kingdom began to flourish only from the eighth century BCE onward" and that the story of Solomon and Sheba is "an anachronistic seventh-century set piece ...

Zambezi River

TONGABEZI ZAMBIA A charming lodge on the Zambezi River The roots of this lodge run deep beneath the banks of the great Zambezi River, 15km upstream from the roar of the Victoria Falls. Almost 28 years since it opened, Tongabezi has grown organically, unhindered by corporate conventions. Its owners, Ben and Vanessa Parker, have lived and breathed this stretch of river since they married on nearby Sindabezi island in 1994. Their home is Tangala, a warm, thatched family house adjacent to the lodge, and Vanessa runs neighbouring Tongabezi Trust School. Right from the start, the couple set out to employ locals and empower them in pivotal roles. The result is one of the happiest places to stay in all of Africa. There are no straight lines at Tongabezi, or at its African-fairy-tale sister camp on Sindabezi island. The original five waterfront cottages are curvaceous beauties, and the more substantial houses are built freeform, incorporating gnarly trees along the way. Most were entire...

  The Wonderful Hotel Amsterdam Pulitzer Amsterdam

Address: Pulitzer Amsterdam, Prinsengracht 323, Amsterdam, Netherlands, PULITZER AMSTERDAM AMSTERDAM A cosy, kooky hotel in the Netherlands' coolest city Percolating its way through 25 historical buildings – from 17th-century canal-side mansions to artisans’ workshops – this place has soaked up 400 years of stories from previous residents including grand families, a musician and a friend of Rembrandt’s. Inside, a fresh, cheeky re-imagining by Jacu Strauss (Barbecoa and the Mondrian London) weaves in these different elements with smart new Dutch design, and a great deal of quirky charm. Charred furniture by Maarten Baas holds its own alongside voluminous armchairs and gilt-framed paintings against an Old Masters’ palette of deep blues, plums and rich greens. It is a delightful hotchpotch of buildings, with crooked stairways leading around unexpected corners and through a warren of passages littered with bizarre market finds. Bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes, but here t...

A Unique and Wonderful Italy's Hotel

PUGLIA, ITALY An extraordinary farmhouse on the Adriatic Sea A place of shiny coffee pots and pristine white tablecloths, traditional charm and a visitors’ book full of entries written in fountain pen. Opened 15 years ago when Puglia was still unclaimed by Londoners in Panama hats and the word masseria meant nothing to anyone, this was an instant classic. And it’s still a beautiful, unfiddled-with fortified farmhouse, with centuries-old crumbling tufa limestone walls, and 360-degree views down to the Adriatic Sea and behind to the Valle d’Itria hills. The Muolo family (who also own Torre Maizza down the road) stuck to tradition. Rooms are elegant, relevant and rooted in their surroundings by means of patterned tiled floors, framed lacework as art and lots of dark wooden furniture. Beds are made up with exquisite embroidered linens, vases of fresh lisianthus sit alongside and shutters frame the damask-curtained windows. At night, the bar serves vast gin and tonics in thick crystal...

Who is Kahlil Gibran

Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri[7] in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran (Rahmeh). As a young man Gibran emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.[8] A member of the New York Pen League, he is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the 1960s counterculture.[8][9] Gibran is the third-...
