Lakshmi Vilas Palace in Vadodara is a reminder of India's extraordinary cultural heritage. From its architecture to its beautifully preserved grounds, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the Gaekwad dynasty. A must see for any Australian visitor in Vadodara! @Info_Vadodara
The Modhera Sun Temple is a masterpiece where architecture follows astronomy, and every carving reflects India's extraordinary artistic imagination. It was designed to greet the first light of the equinox, turning stone into a celebration of the cosmos.

India’s whole cardamom exports registered strong growth in FY2025–26, with export value rising from USD 201 million in FY2024-25 to USD 437 million, while shipment volumes more than doubled from 7.7 thousand tonnes in FY2024-25 to 16.4 thousand tonnes in FY2025-26
The growth reflects expanding global demand and the increasing competitiveness of India’s spice sector. Continued focus on quality, market access and value addition will strengthen opportunities for farmers and exporters while reinforcing India’s position in global spice trade.
