The same phenomenon has occurred in Uttar Pradesh state also. In the vista of towns of this state one distinguishes Kakrala as quite significant. In fact Kakrala is the name of a city .A municipal board has been set up which actually looks after the administration of this Kakrala city. It lies under the jurisdiction of the district of Badaun of Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.<br /><br />For identification of any city of India first it is important to identify the geographical location of Kakrala. It is situated approximately at 27.9° N 79.2° E. It has an average height of 160 meters or 524 feet.<br /><br />The discovery of Indian town or city becomes complete with the knowledge of its current demographical scenario. In order to meet the objectives, numerous demographers have organized surveys and research works and thus brought out significant information about Kakrala city. Regarding this, the Census report is praise worthy. Data like population, literacy rate etc can be deduced from this report. According to this report Kakrala city has got a total population measurement of 32,380. Females are less in number than their male counterparts. This becomes obvious from the literacy rates of both males and females. In other words male populace constitutes 53 %, while the total population of females comprises of 47 % only. Information about the children who are residing in Kakrala too can be deduced. Thus kids who are below six years of age constitute 20 % of the total population of Kakrala.<br /><br />Literacy rate adds to the information of this Kakrala city. Thus it is noticed that its average literacy rate constitutes 43%, which is even lower than that of the entire nation. Thus India`s average literacy rate comprises of 59.5 %. To be specific, 48 % and 37 % are rates of male and female literacy of Kakrala respectively. This led one to draw forth the conclusion that male are more educated than their female counterparts. Experts also have pointed out that Kakrala has a belonging to Bhatti , a particular Rajput clan.Siddikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02919293703078906408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878914053873739425.post-72125535097892605432015-11-06T09:48:00.000-08:002015-11-06T09:48:00.568-08:00Khutar, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh<span class="heading">Khutar, Shahjahanpur, Uttar <span>Pradesh<br /><br /></span></span><img alt="http://cdn.wn.com/pd/b0/1a/9a1d189f08543a0d09e5be74ec22_grande.jpg" src="http://cdn.wn.com/pd/b0/1a/9a1d189f08543a0d09e5be74ec22_grande.jpg" /><br />Quite a number of towns and cities have developed in the states of India. The state of Uttar Pradesh also is not an exception. Amongst several towns that have flourished here one demarcates the significance of Khutar. It is the name of a nagar panchayat town, which is located in the district of Shahjahanpur of Uttar Pradesh state of India. On NH 24, a significant town, namely Tilhar lies south west of Khutar .<br /><br />The strategic location of Khutar too is significant and also helps to identify it in a much better way. It lies approximately at 28.2° N 80.28° E. It rises to a height of 162 meters or 531 feet above the mean sea level.<br /><br />Over the years eminent demographers have organized surveys and research works so that they could throw light about Khutar town`s demography. To fulfill such motives, a handful of demographers have been conducted in Khutar and also inferred several reports that are prepared on the basis of their findings. In this regard a special mentioning may be made of the Census report that has been brought out in the year 2001. According to this report the total population of Khutar showed a population count of 14,219. Certain data like males, females and also children have been deduced from it. Thus male populace constitutes 53 % of the total population. Female population of Khutar is much less constituting 47 % only. Children who are below six years of age constitute 18 % of the total population. In Khutar, 18 % of the total population is below six years of age.<br /><br />Experts also have derived few important points about Khutar. As far as the average literacy rate of Khutar is concerned, it constitutes 51 %, which is even lower than 59.5 %, the average literacy rate of India. Like the population status, rate of female literacy of Khutar is less than that of males. In other words 60 %, and 40 % are rates of male and female literacy of Khutar.<br /><br /> To facilitate accessibility, this Khutar town is well connected by rails, airports etc. Sehramau Railway Station, lying on the `Pilibhit-Sitapur railway line`, Amausi Airport lie in close proximity.Siddikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02919293703078906408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878914053873739425.post-10498736185181328512013-03-01T11:23:00.000-08:002013-03-01T11:23:00.758-08:00Mylapore, Tamil Nadu<span class="heading">Mylapore, Tamil Nadu<br /></span>Mylapore is a coastal city in the state of Tamil Nadu and is situated very close to <b><a href="http://www.indianetzone.com/6/bay_bengal.htm" class="clsCrossLink" title="Bay of Bengal">Bay of Bengal</a></b>.

Keeping pace with this trend a multitude of demographers also have conducted several surveys and research works and thus prepared reports accordingly.

The city was also known as Mamallapuram and Mallai. The Greek and Roman merchants also visited the place even in the pre-Christian era. <br /><br />Earlier, Mahabalipuram was ruled by the Sangam Chola dynasty or one of the chiefdoms under this dynasty. The Pallavas ruled here from the 4th century AD to the 9th centuries A.D. <br /><br />Narasimhavarman I, one of the well-known Pallava kings was ruling Mahabalipuram in the 7th century. He was also known as `Mahamalla`, which means `great wrestler`. He decorated Mahabalipuram with numerous sculptures and monuments. He built several cave temples and monolithic shrines cut out of natural rock. He also constructed the sculptures in the famous bas-relief panel called `Arjuna`s Penance` or `Bhagiratha`s Penance`, which shows a person who may be either Arjuna or Bhagiratha.<br /><br />The monumental remnants of Mahabalipuram can be categorized into four main types. There are `monoliths` that are freestanding temples cut out of solid rock from top downwards. These are locally known as the `rathas` or `chariots`. There are five such rathas seen close to each other and these are together known as `Pancha rathas` or `Panchapandava rathas`. Four of these five rathas were named after the five Pandava brothers and the fifth one was named after Draupadi, the single wife of the five brothers, according to the Hindu epic Mahabharata. <br /><br />There are many other temples excavated in hill scarps of Mahabalipuram, which are locally called `mandapas`. One of such famous five-cave temple is the one at Trimurti. There are also few other stonework temples or structural temples built of blocks of stone can be seen here. The Shore Temple of Mahabalipuram is one of the most important structural temples here. It was mostly built by Narasimhavarman II or Rajasimha, one of the successors of Mahamalla.<br /><br />There are various sculptured scenes carved on the rock hills of Mahabalipuram. One of the sculptures represents a sage performing penance in a village on the banks of a river. According to some scholars, this sage is Arjuna, the hero of the epic Mahabharata. Again others depict this sage as Bhagiratha, who brought the river Ganga from the heavens to the earth.<br /><br />The stone sculpture tradition of the Pallavas is still surviving in Mahabalipuram. The tradition is continued by a prestigious Government college of sculpture. There are many stone sculpture making centres and many shops selling stone sculptures and other objects made of stone available in Mahabalipuram city.Siddikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02919293703078906408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878914053873739425.post-54295907826714698502013-03-01T11:20:00.000-08:002013-03-01T11:20:00.732-08:00<span class="heading">Thiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, South India<br /></span><img alt="http://cdn.wn.com/ph/img/0b/a6/fdefc320ddc1dc037e4b346ad8c6-grande.jpg" src="http://cdn.wn.com/ph/img/0b/a6/fdefc320ddc1dc037e4b346ad8c6-grande.jpg" /><br />The name of the place Thiruchirappalli is derived from its Jain association. It is known as the rockfort city of Tamil Nadu. In Tamil Nadu, Buddhism and Jainism flourished before the renaissance of Hinduism in the form of the Bhakti cult. The Bhakti cult popularized Saivism and Vaishnavism and exterminated these anti-Hindu religions in Thiruchirappalli. Therefore, several Jain and Buddhist traces can be found scattered in remote and unapproachable spots throughout Thiruchirappalli. <br /><br />`Chira` was actually the name of a Jain monk and his `palli` or abode was once in this rock. Hence, it came to be known as Chirappalli. Later, Thiru was added to it as it is an adjective of reverence in the Tamil language. The beautiful name is now reduced to `Trichy` as nobody feels comfortable to pronounce its full name. <br /><br />In Tamil grammar, there is a special rule for shortening names like this. This rule is called `Maruvu`. It was a famous place in the Sangam Age and the capital city of Cholas, called `Uraiyur` even before its association with Jains. This place has a historical importance in Tamil Nadu. The Cheras, the Cholas and the Pandyas have ruled in Thiruchirappalli. Thereafter, the Pallavas, the later Pandyas, the later Cholas, the Vijayanagar rulers, the Marathas, the Nawabs, the French and Finally the British came to rule this strategic place which is more or less centrally located place in Tamil Nadu. <br /><br />At present, Thiruchirappalli is the fourth major city of Tamil Nadu and the headquarters of Trichy district.Siddikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02919293703078906408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878914053873739425.post-17572580964706797712013-02-28T11:17:00.000-08:002013-02-28T11:17:00.391-08:00Nagojanahalli, Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu<span class="heading">Nagojanahalli, Dharmapuri district, Tamil <span>Nadu<br /></span></span><img alt="http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/29979561.jpg" src="http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/29979561.jpg" /><br />Numerous towns and cities have developed in the soils of Indian subcontinent by leaps and bounds. The state of Tamil Nadu also is not an exception. One such significant place of Tamil Nadu is Nagojanahalli. It is an example of a panchayat town.<br /><br /> No discussion on any Indian town gets a concrete shape unless and until one could gather some information that is related to its demographical scenario. After conducting surveys in Nagojanahalli few demographers have also collected relevant data and also prepared reports accordingly. One such significant document is the Census report of India of a specific year. Being published in the year 2001, this report depicts certain demographical facts like literacy rate, population status etc. As per this report Nagojanahalli has shown a total population count of 8402. Just like many other Indian places in Nagojanahalli also the number of males are more than their female counterparts. In other words male populace constitutes 51 %, while females constitute 49 % only. In Nagojanahalli, children who fall in the age group of les than six years constitute 12 % of the total population.<br /><br /> From the report one also can decipher the exact literacy condition of Nagojanahalli. Thus its average literacy rate constitutes 60 %, slightly higher than that of the entire nation, which constitutes 59. 5 %. A gap exists between male and female literacy rates. Male literacy constitutes 70 %. Following the usual trend rate of female literacy is less and thus constitutes 49 %.Siddikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02919293703078906408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878914053873739425.post-49020686043262234332013-02-28T11:16:00.000-08:002013-02-28T11:16:00.942-08:00Narasimhanaickenpalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="fnt"></tr><tr class="fnt"><td valign="top" width="100%"><table width="100%" bgcolor="#eaeaea" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2"> </table> <div style="padding-left: 25px; padding-right: 0px;"><div align="center"> <ins style="display: inline-table; border: medium none; height: 15px; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"><span class="heading">Narasimhanaickenpalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu</span></ins></div><img alt="http://cdn.wn.com/ph/img/b3/0a/0d9e4cdb8e555cb259946a615014-medium.jpg" src="http://cdn.wn.com/ph/img/b3/0a/0d9e4cdb8e555cb259946a615014-medium.jpg" /><br />Narasimhanaickenpalayam is the name of a panchayat town.
