MY SHRAVASTI

Shravasti was a city of ancient and one of the six largest cities in India during Gautama Buddha's lifetime. The city is located in the fertile Gangetic plains some 170 km NE of Lucknow. Shravasti rose to fame due to its association with Buddha and Mahavira and became one of the eight holy places of Buddhist pilgrimage. Buddha is said to have spent 24 rainy seasons besides performing the Twin Miracle of emanating fire and water from his body here. Besides, Suhaildev Wildlife Sanctuary provides the perfect nature trail options to tourists and pilgrims alike.


About Me

I am a curious boy who loves to wander around to create memories and learn new things. More than destinations; I love meeting people and indulge in heartfelt conversations. I find joy in all the small things in life. Sometimes an exchange of smile with a stranger can uplift my mood. Emotions run high in my life. So, I do tend to get very emotional (a bit too much) about the places I like and people I love. A hopeless romantic by nature, this curious boy doesn’t endorse any rude behaviour from anyone. And, hey…I prefer the countryside anytime over cities, anywhere in the world.
