Precious And Enduring Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Ten of us toured
Historical and holy
Cities of North India
And Nepal as well.

Lucknow's thriving
Capital of Uttar Pradesh
Has influence of nawabs
Mughals and British.

Ayodhya and Varanasi
Are holy cities indeed
Rama, Siva, and Parvati
Find permanent abodes.

Buddha's remembered
For all he contributed
Saranath maintains
A well preserved museum.

Khatmandu in Nepal has
Pasupathinath temple
And stupas of Boudhanath
Swayambhunath and so on.

Viewing morning sunrise
On the hills of Pokhara
Is a unique experience
To acquire in one's life.

In addition to seeing
Many wonderful places
Bonding we developed
Is precious and enduring.
