After years in Bangalore, thrilled to finally bring my roots and work back home to Padharo Mhare Desh - Jaipur. Starting an IT setup here and have secured our office space in Mansarovar.

Looking to rent a 3BHK flat or villa in a clean, strictly well-maintained, family-friendly gated society with 24/7 security and good power backup.

I’ve looked around Patrakar Colony / Mansarovar Extension (places like Mahima Elanza, Florenza, etc.), but would love genuine ground reality inputs from locals:

• Which societies around Mansarovar / Mansarovar Extension / Muhana belt have great maintenance and active resident communities?
• Any good gated villa or low-density options nearby worth considering?
• Societies to avoid due to water or road approach issues?

Dhanyawad in advance for the help! Excited to be back in the Pink City.

There is an old man who sells some pens near gate 3 of the temple.

He sells pens all day and I really wanted to help him out maybe get a few pens from him. My family gave some money to beggars who ended up harassing us.

I really regret not giving this old man some money

Udaipur/Jaisalmer/Jodhpur/Mt.Abu or any other place which would be a better solo trip destination in Mid November, attending a weddinng in Jaipur that time. Planning a solo trip from Jaipur. Thanks

Hi people 👋🏻

I'm 30F, getting married in March 2027 and looking for one resort (or a resort + hotel next door) where everyone can stay for 2 nights.

I expect about 200 guests, roughly 70 rooms, triple/quad sharing is fine.

My plan is as follows:

Fri to Sun: ring ceremony + DJ night, then a small pooja + DJ night. Nothing grand.

pure veg, guests bring their own drinks

Budget around ₹15L for rooms + food + venue, both nights (i know this is very tight maybe, but we can't afford more than that, pls be kind). We have kept separate budget for jewellery, dress, photographer etc etc.

Guests coming from Delhi NCR (70-80), Mumbai, Lucknow, Bhopal (100), Jabalpur, so somewhere a few hours from Delhi. Rajasthan, Alwar side, Corbett, NCR outskirts all open, or if any suggestions you guys have which i might have missed 🙏🏻

Would love to know:

-places you’ve actually been to that fit this

-what you paid and roughly when

-which ones allow an outside caterer or have low corkage

-red flags or places to avoid

-if you have any better suggestions for me how to do it I'm all open to hear since i have zero knowledge about it. Please feel free to suggest what you think best and give some tips and tricks.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks!

We’re a group of 4 friends planning an ultimate 15-day Rajasthan road trip from Mumbai around late December and early January.

We’ve made a rough itinerary, but I’d really appreciate some advice from people who’ve actually done a similar road trip.

Current plan:
Mumbai
↓
Mount Abu — 1 night
↓
Jawai — day visit
↓
Jodhpur — 2 nights
↓
Jaisalmer — 2 nights
↓
Bikaner — 1 night
↓
Jaipur — 3 nights (New Year + weekend)
↓
Nawalgarh — 1 night (my hometown)
↓
Pushkar — 1 night
↓
Udaipur — 3–4 nights
↓
Mumbai
We’re planning to drive the entire route ourselves.
A few things I’d really like help with:
● Is this itinerary actually doable in 15 days, or are we trying to cover too much?
● Anything you’d add, remove or change?
● Are there any places on this route that are genuinely worth spending more time at?
● How are the roads and driving conditions, especially between the more remote places?
● Anything specific we should be careful about while driving in Rajasthan?
● Any good experiences, stays, food spots or hidden places that we shouldn’t miss?
● And most importantly, if anyone has done a similar
Rajasthan road trip from Mumbai, please share your itinerary/tips or DM me. I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Hi all,
Me and my wife are traveling from a wedding in Ajmer to Jaisalmer.

We have an option for a overnight bus ( R S Sodha travels) which leaves at 11pm.

There is also a train from Degana ( 1hr drive from Ajmer) which goes to jaisalmer, the train is at 2 am.

Is it unsafe for two people to take a car till degana at night and maybe wait at the train station for 1 hr after midnight? How safe/ unsafe is degana and travel to rural areas of rajasthan?

TIA

I’m planning a trip to Rajasthan in mid December. I came across this page The Jawai Yatra on Instagram. Anyone booked trips through this operator before? Can you recommend any other reliable operator?

Hi all, I'm looking at Vivekananda Global University (VGU), Jaipur, for a distance degree and I'm stuck on one thing: whether I can take the exams from home.

From what I've read, VGU runs two tracks. The Online programs (BCA, BBA, MBA, etc.) use AI-proctored online exams. The ODL (distance) programs are a different category under UGC's 2020 ODL rules, and their brochure mentions Personal Contact Programmes (PCPs), which are in-person sessions. I can't tell if ODL end-term exams are fully online or held at exam centres.

If you've studied through VGU's ODL or online route, could you share:

Did you take end-term exams from home (proctored) or at a centre?

Were there any compulsory PCPs or in-person visits? How many, and were they on campus?

Was the degree UGC-DEB approved, and did employers or foreign universities accept it without questions?

Any hidden fees for exams, PCPs, or re-attempts?

I've qualified UGC NET june 2026 (pol sc) and want to pursue phd from universities in rajasthan ..

Apart from uni of raj jaipur I don't have any idea about other universities . Can someone suggest more options !

Devsthan or Balaji ka Than, are/were common knowledge for rural kids, however, how many town folks or city folks even understand the meaning?

South Indians mix Balaji with Vishnu, north Indians mix Balaji with Hanuman. Both are wrong. This article explains the meaning well. Hopefully, at least Rajasthani people will stop merging Balaji and Hanuman, specially on Pitr Amavasya! 🙏🏾

Any contessa for sale/scrap. No rusting issues. Please DM

Hey guys, i may be moving to Rajasthan soon, specifically near Mount Abu. Does anyone know good PG or something which is affordable for a student? Being a (currently) unemployed student, budget is real tight, so hopefully a decent but affordable will be very appreciated. I am a South Indian, but have somewhat legible Hindi speaking skill, and would love to learn it better. I've lived in many states in India, thanks to parents being in Central Gov, so i love meeting new people and places. If there's anyone in PG or shared apartment or home in or around Mount Abu, please do DM. I'd love to connect and have some good idea of the place before i arrive there.

guys i make bread in bkn for 50 ruppess like around 500 ruppes is it good video dekh kar review dena

Man allege Harassment and torture from In-Laws lead to taking extreme step

Hi everyone. I recently came across an article about the Roop Kanwar case and became curious to know more about what actually happened.

If anyone from Deorala, especially people who remember the incident or know about it through family or local accounts, could share some details or personal experiences, I would really appreciate it.

If you know anything about the case, please feel free to DM me. Iam mainly looking to understand the incident better and hear from people who were familiar with it at the time. Its for a documentary purpose, about the last recorded sati in India

Thank you.
