The city has a lot of tourist places and histories behind the present state of the place. People over here have strong faith and respect for the religions but unity still prevail. Food preferences of people are more of spicy than sweet. Public transports are cheap and easy to use but are little bit fussy. It is a fun place to visit but cannot say a lot about moving.
