The Times of India held a poll that was something similar to the 7 wonders of the world.
The most popular choice was the ancient religious town of Shravanabelagola in Hassan district of Karnataka. Shravanabelagola is a Jain religious centre and one of the most vibrant cultural hubs in the country with an unbroken tradition from the 3rd century AD. The centrepiece is the 17.38 metre high stone statue of Bahubali, the largest monolithic statue in the world.

I do not quiet agree to such polls. Each person has his / her perception of what is beautiful. I believe that each place is unique and comparison is unfair. I liked the picture below. (Shravanabelagola)

TimesofIndia is one of the worst rags masquerading as a newspaper. They don't really like to publish real news.

I suppose so... but they're there to report news ideally not inform us how many times Abhishek Bachchan goes to the bathroom in a night.
