			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chhath or Chhath Puja is an age old Hindu festival, mainly observed in Bihar, Jharkhand in India. This festival of Chhath is celebrated in the northeast region of India, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of Chhattisgarh too.</p>
<p>    Chhath is a festival devoted to the Surya, the Sun Goddess, who is considered as a mode to show gratitude to the sun for conferring the reward of life on earth.</p>
<p>Chhath is celebrated twice a year, once in the summers, the Chaiti Chhath, and once in the winters, called the Kartik Chhath. Chhath is a grueling ceremony, where the devotee is needed to fast for more than 24 hours without even drinking water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The famous Ajanta and Ellora are cave memorials positioned near the Aurangabad city in Maharashtra. These are man-made rock carvings, and are graded among some of the most marvelous examples of heritage of ancient Indian architecture.</p>
<p>    Until John Smith, a British Army Officer, inadvertently tripped on them during a hunting mission in 1819, the 34 caves at Ellora are carved into the walls of a basaltic mount and the 29 caves at Ajanta lying deep-seated inside the Sahyadri ranges were left masked in anonymity for more than thousand years.</p>
<p>Ajanta has been selected as a World Heritage Site, to be preserved as an artistic legacy and is thronged by thousands of tourists every year.</p>
