Dehradun, October 31
Beautiful exquisite silver jewellery in the forms of flowers, sun signs are now here in Doon. From time immemorial silver has always attracted women and men for their unique sheen as well as style.

Solani aqueduct another engineering marvel

Roorkee, October 31
It all started with the execution of an engineering feat in the shape of an aqueduct, which went on to make Roorkee earn the title of a ‘pilgrimage of civil engineering’. Built by the British in 1846-47, Solani aqueduct is one of the engineering marvels here. Part of the Ganges Canal, conceived in the 1840s by Colonel Sir Proby Thomas Cautley, the aqueduct is a structure of fifteen arches spanning a valley thousand feet wide.
