Nowadays, every man prefer slim wallet which provide all need without sacrificing looks and also perfectly fit their front or back pocket. The one which resembled these features was trifold wallet which was bought from urby.in .

This slim wallet designed in such a way that looks very small when it's folded and large when it is open (24 cm x 11.3 cm) which is vogue nowadays.


Suites older and younger:

This product is equipped with a wide main interior currency pocket of width and breadth which can hold bunch of notes and also coins in 3 covered slots which is suitable for previous generation. Tri-fold wallet also has a 9 credit card holder slots which is very much blends with cashless era which attracts new buyers.

In a Nutshell, its exclusive high quality soft leather will make it very handy and charming which accustomes recent trend. Furthermore, it's Handmade stitching finish tempts each and everyone and also a trifold wallet irresistible. I was able to keep all my important cards in one place which makes it easier to locate and keep it safe. this will definitely make my travel easy. Moreover you can personalize it with your initials.

It was the summer palace and harem of Vijayanagara rulers. The building is facing east and composes of two stories of arcade chambers, square on plan with corner tower on the northern side. In front of the building there are steps leading into the building also staircases on either sides leads to the first floor. The ground floor consisting with recessed and forty five foliated arches in the pavilion reminiscent of the Lodi type of arches in the buildings of Delhi. The middle of the ground floor and first floor made a provision of rooms. The first floor has twelve arches and eight windows. The surface of the walls of building is coated with stucco. The pyramidal roof built-up in tiers is obviously adopted from Sikhara of the Dravidan style. The tower has six projecting windows supported by brackets. It was built by a combination of Indo-Persian architectural style known as Indo-Sarcanic adopted by Vijayanagara kings. The palace was built without a single rafter, a unique specimen architecture.

Pavagada Fort- Hidden Gem



Pavagada Fort is one of the forgotten fort around Bangalore, most of the trek and travel enthusiast people don't go here probably because its far from Bangalore (180km) and less direct connectivity to the place. The fort is architectural marvel that needs high attention to preserve. It is a photographer’s muse, an architect’s inspiration, a trekker’s delight and a rock climber’s Mecca. The Shanimahatma Temple in Pavagada town is famous and attracts devotees from far-off places. Tiny lanes next to the Temple lead to the foothills of Pavagada Fort. These streets are not well maintained. The stink of human waste, piles of plastic, destroyed interiors of the enclosures, and broken fort walls indicate the lack of maintenance and human apathy towards it. If one ignores all that, a two-hour-long trek will take you to the two large towers situated at the top of the Fort. With seven levels of fortification and a secret tunnel for the king to escape, it only contributes to the fact that the Fort was fully war-ready. The complex also houses a mosque, a pond and a massive bunker that gets ample sunlight. The architectural marvels are visible as you trek up to the top of the Fort. The sturdy Fort is in a better condition holding evidence to the indigenous engineering skills of the period. The Fort is said to have witnessed many royal battles. The trail to the top goes through large entrances, stairs and rocky patches with enough resting places. This makes the trek tolerable even when the temperature soars in summer. Halfway through, there is a small Hanuman Temple. Offerings at the Temple suggest that the locals visit the Temple regularly. Once at the top of the hill the cool breeze will only help you to explore around. Courtesy: Deccan Herald
