Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Growing up in Norman with Oklahoma City just 30 minutes away never made me want to move to a bigger city like Dallas. My one stop shop for everything and anything from shopping to food to entertainment, OKC has it all!
Ayodhya, Utter Pradesh. The birthplace of Ram, an Indian God, is city of peace and serenity with cold temperatures year round and an army of monkeys. Ayodhya is an important religious site in the Hindu religion and one of the most beautiful cities at night.
Mumbai, Maharashtra. One of the most populated cities of India, it is the tourist destination. Some of its best features are the Gandhi Museum, Supreme Court of India, and Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
Wow, it is so exciting to see AYODHYA here in a favorite places post, Mansi: fabulous! When we get to Week 3, everybody in class will know about Ayodhya... but for many students, Week 3 will be the first time they have heard about this city. Thank you so much for including it in your post here! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Indian musical duo, Maati Baani, live in Mumbai, and they film some of their music videos there. Here is a video they did with Vidya Vox in LA. The Mumbai dancers are Suresh Mukund's Kings United, and the LA dancers are Karmagraphy:

Thank you so much for sharing the video with me! I loved it, if you've got anymore please let me know! School keeps me pretty busy so when I get videos like this it is always a treat. The dancer in me appreciates good music and even more good dance moves!
DeleteMaybe you will want to do a dance-inspired project for this class. Dancing is a huge theme in the mythological tradition itself (Nataraja!)
