Dear Google Local Guides,
Every year on 27 September is celebrated as World Tourism Day. It was started by United Nations World Tourism Organization and it aims to raise awareness on tourism that how it affects social, cultural, political and economic values globally.
Here, I would like to showcase famous tourist destinations of my country India.
I would like to request others to share pictures of tourist places of their respective country.
Also, please tell which picture you liked the most.

Dear Tushar18,
I like all your photos very well. I particularly liked Krishnas Butter Ball (Mahabalipuram). What story is behind it?

صورك جميلة جدا احبها
Great Click @Tushar18 of Taj Mahal and Humayun’s tomb.
@Nyainurjanah … the suspension bridge looks magnificent in the picture. I think it’s built at some forest area.
@rohitwadke … Thanks for the appreciation 
@Asixtyplus … The stone which is referred to as Krishna’s Butter Ball is basically a 250 ton rock boulder resting on a slippery surface. It is 20 feet high and 5 meter wide standing on less than 4 feet base. It has not moved from its position and remained unaffected by natural disasters like Tsunami, Earthquake, Cyclone, etc. It is actually giving competition to the gravity.
It has been here since thousand years ago. Some accounts say it is 1200 years old.
Many attempts were made to move this boulder, but everything failed. In fact during British rule, it was ordered to move with the help of seven elephants, but not even a single inch was moved.
This site still confuses many people that is it science or some supernatural powers.
I’ll write a separate post about it, giving more interesting information and pictures of it. Keep Reading
Yes @Tushar18 the bridge build in forest area

Thanks a lot, I will follow you …
Thanks @SunMoon and @Asixtyplus …
