    Where ancient traditions blend seamlessly into everyday life lies the city of Matiari — the heart of artisanal craftsmanship in the Sindh province. This place is renowned for its workshops where the secrets of lacquerware, decorated with intricate hand-painted designs, are passed down through generations. The streets are full of color: vibrant bazaars, the aroma of spices, and lively tea stalls create a special atmosphere.

    Matiari is ideal for travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences. Here, you can not only purchase unique handmade items but also observe the process of their creation.

    Mayapur / India

    Amidst green meadows and the sacred waters of the Ganges lies Mayapur, the spiritual heart of Bengal and the center of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. It is a place where the stillness of nature harmonizes with the chanting of pilgrims, and each sunrise is filled with the sound of bells and devotional songs. It is believed that this is the birthplace of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu — a saint who changed the spiritual course of India and founded the sankirtan movement.

    Mayapur attracts not only the faithful but also travelers seeking peace and cultural enrichment. Its main attraction is the grand Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, still under construction but already astonishing in scale. Visitors can take part in spiritual rituals, explore eco-community farms, and simply enjoy an atmosphere where ancient traditions blend with vibrant modern life.
