To do no evil; To cultivate good; To purify one's mind :
This is the teaching of the Buddhas.
--The Dhammapada
Buddhism is the fourth largest religion in the world. From Siddharth to Sakyamuni and finally to the Buddha or the Enlightened One, an incredible transformation of a prince to an enlightened teacher, who walked the earth more than 2500 years ago.
The Buddha wandered the plains of northeastern India for 45 years more, teaching the path or Dharma he had realized in that moment. Around him developed a community or Sangha of
monks and, later, nuns, drawn from every tribe and caste, devoted to practicing this path. In approximately 486 BC, at the age of 80, the Buddha died. His last words are said to be...
“Impermanent are all created things ; Strive on with awareness”.
Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity"

Winery Tourism
Historically, grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is grown mostly for wine making in the world over. In India on the contrary remarkable success has been achieved in table grape production and yield levels of fresh grapes are among the highest in the world. At present in India grape is grown over an area of 60,000 hect with an annual production of 1.6 million tonnes ( FAO, 2005). Wine has been made in India for as many as 5,000 years. It was the early European travellers to the courts of the Mughal emperors Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jehan in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries A.D.
who reported tasting wines from the royal vineyards. Both red (Kandhari) and white wines (Bhokri, Fakdi, Sahebi etc.) were

vineyards were established in Kashmir and at Baramati in Maharashtra and a number of Indian wines were exhibited and favourably received by visitors to the Great Calcutta Exhibition of 1884. However, Indian vineyards were totally destroyed by unknown reasons in the 1890s.
About 38 private wineries have come up in the country 36 exist in Maharashtra and one each in Karnataka and Goa.Adam Strum the owner/editor of widely circulated magazine ‘Wine Enthusiast' on his visit to the Indian wineries, has said ‘ The one thing that struck me in general was that the varietals are true to their taste. Sauvignon Blanc from Grover and Sula were crisp, herbaceous, and fresh- very similar to New Zealand wines. Chenin was particularly impressive, it was fruit driven and like in Loire Valley . The sparkling Ivy from Indage was full of bubbles, crispy and light on the palate. I think it will go very well with the spicy Indian food,'
What amused and pleasantly surprised him was the Zinfandel from Vinsura. Wondering how they got the clones from California . He was impressed by it being so fruity and light in comparison with some Californian Zins which tend to be too powerful, big and tannic.
With more and more professionals visiting India on regular basis, and the fact that Indian wine exports are going up every year, word is getting spread very fast creating awareness of Indian wines in International market. Indian wines are exported to U.K. , Sweden , Switzerland , Germany , Canada , Bhutan , Nepal , Sri Lanka , Mauritius , New Zealand , Japan and U.S.A.
