The Maldives are an archipelago of 1,192 coral
islands grouped into 26 coral atolls (200 inhabited
islands, plus 80 islands with tourist resorts) in
the Indian Ocean. They lie south-southwest
of India and are considered part of Southern Asia.
Culture
Maldivians are almost entirely , and the
local culture is a mixture of South I , Sinhalese
and Arab influences. While alcohol, , dogs and
public observance of non-Muslim re ons are
banned on the inhabited islands, the resort islands
are allowed to exist in a bubble whe anything goes.
Note that the weekend in the Maldi s runs from
Friday to Saturday, during which banks, government
offices and many shops are closed. You won't notice
this at the resorts though, except that lunch hours
may be shifted for Friday prayers.
Climate
The Maldives are tropical, with plenty of sunshine
and temperatures around 30°C throughout the year.
However, rainfall increases considerably during the
April-October southwest monsoon, particularly from
June to August.

11. Bada Bagh Jaisalmer
Location:
How to reach:
Attraction:
The site has three different things to watch, a garden, a tank and a dam. In the vicinity itself you
will find Govardhan Stambh (pillar). This pillar was constructed to commemorate the
construction of the Dam and the tank. In the local dialect the Dam and the tank are known as
Jait Bandh and the Jait Sar respectively. It is believed that these are based on the name of the
man who constructed them. The Jait Bandh is a dominating structure. It is about 1,200 feet in
length and 350 feet in width. If you observe it closely you will notice that this has been built out
of solid blocks of stone. The same material has been used for the construction of the tank.
Cenotaph
Other interesting monuments in the vicinity are the Cenotaphs. These cenotaphs also known as
chattris and were constructed by the various Bhatti rulers. One cenotaph has been erected for
each ruler. The oldest among them is the cenotaphs of Maharawal Jait Singh who reigned from
1470-1506. This tradition was discontinued when in 1947, one of the prince died of a mysterious
disease. This was taken as a bad omen and thus this tradition came to its end.
