Nature's game with flying clouds on the mountain top
I hope everything is okay with you and you're having a great time. I warmly welcome back to my travel world! Today I'm going to talk about how I enjoyed a beautiful afternoon at Yanqi Lake which is one of my best visited spot in my living area. In the Huairou district, the place is a 4A vacation spot. I have already described the Yanqihu Lake as a great view of the sunset that I shared on my last visit around 3 months ago. I had the opportunity to explore another season of monsoons during this visit, and I will remember this trip for a long time because it was so exciting as the clouds seem to be very near from the ground during these days.
I had happy fantasies while reading my wonderful friend Hassan's travelogue!
Since I have never traveled abroad before, Hassan's travel stories always give me great pleasure!
I also have faith that I will be able to have a wonderful trip like Hassan in the future!😃
I will now tell Hassan about the fantasies that East Asian men have about the legendary beauties of the Indian subcontinent!
Erotic Indian Noble Women
Chinese noblewoman and maid
For over 2,000 years, paintings and sculptures of women from the Indian subcontinent have spread to East Asia, shocking and seducing East Asian men.
The physical beauty of women from the Indian subcontinent, which is very different from that of East Asian women, has captivated East Asian men!😲
2. Chinese rulers who married Indo-Aryan women!

So, Modern East Asian men are enamored with the beauties of Indian cinema.😄
Modern East Asian men enjoy creating literary and artistic works based on the beauties of the Indian subcontinent.
An 18th-century painting of Padmini
Padmini, also known as Padmavati, was a 13th–14th century Rani (queen) of the Mewar kingdom of present-day India. Several medieval texts mention her, although these versions are disparate and many modern historians question the extent of their overall authenticity.[2]
The Jayasi text describes her story as follows: Padmavati was an exceptionally beautiful princess of the Sinhalese kingdom (in Sri Lanka).[a] Ratan Sen, the Rajput ruler of Chittor Fort, heard about her beauty from a talking parrot named Hiraman. After an adventurous quest, he won her hand in marriage and brought her to Chittor. Ratan Sen was captured and imprisoned by Alauddin Khalji, the Sultan of Delhi. While Ratan Sen was in prison, the king of Kumbhalner Devapal became enamoured with Padmavati's beauty and proposed to marry her. Ratan Sen returned to Chittor and entered into a duel with Devapal, in which both died. Alauddin Khalji laid siege to Chittor to obtain Padmavati. Facing a defeat against Khalji, before Chittor was captured, she and her companions committed Jauhar (self-immolation) thereby defeating Khalji's aim and protecting their honour. Coupled to the Jauhar, the Rajput men died fighting on the battlefield.
Many other written and oral tradition versions of her life exist in Hindu and Jain traditions. These versions differ from the Sufi poet Jayasi's version. For example, Rani Padmini's husband Ratan Sen dies fighting the siege of Alauddin Khalji, and thereafter she leads a jauhar. In these versions, she is characterised as a Hindu Rajput queen, who defended her honour against a Muslim invader. Over the years she came to be seen as a historical figure and appeared in several novels, plays, television serials and movies.
The legend of Queen Padmavati of India is famous among East Asian men!
The tragic death of Queen Padmavati of India has shocked and saddened East Asian men!
The Hindu custom in India of ordering women to commit suicide by jumping into fire was seen as an extremely cruel and barbaric act by East Asian men.😨
So, East Asian men transformed the legend of Padmavati into an East Asian style.
The picture above shows a prince from China meeting Queen Padmavati of India.😄

The Forbidden City viewed from Jingshan Hill
The Forbidden City (Chinese: 紫禁城; pinyin: Zǐjìnchéng) is the imperial palace complex in the center of the Imperial City in Beijing, China. It was the residence of 24 Ming and Qing dynasty Emperors, and the center of political power in China for over 500 years from 1420 to 1924. The palace is now administered by the Palace Museum. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. The Forbidden City is arguably the most famous palace in all of Chinese history, and is the largest preserved royal palace complex still standing in the world.
The proud Queen Padmavati wanted to become the ruler of the world's largest and most luxurious city, The Forbidden City (Chinese: 紫禁城; pinyin: Zǐjìnchéng), because only then could her wounded pride be healed!
Portrait of Mumtaz Mahal on ivory, 17th‑century, held at the Lahore Museum in Lahore, Pakistan
Mumtaz Mahal (born Arjumand Banu Begum; Persian pronunciation: [mʊmˈt̪aːz mɛˈɦɛl]; lit. 'The Exalted One of the Palace'; 29 October 1593 – 17 June 1631)[6] was the empress consort of Mughal Empire from 1628 to 1631 as the chief consort of the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan.[7] The Taj Mahal in Agra, often cited as one of the Wonders of the World,[8] was commissioned by her husband to act as her tomb.[9]
Mumtaz Mahal was born Arjumand Banu Begum in Agra to a family of Persian nobility. She was the daughter of Abu'l-Hasan Asaf Khan, a wealthy Persian noble who held high office in the Mughal Empire, and the niece of Empress Nur Jahan, the chief wife of Emperor Jahangir and the power behind the emperor.[10] She was married at the age of 19 on 10 May 1612 or 16 June 1612 to Prince Khurram,[11][12] later known by his regnal name Shah Jahan, who conferred upon her the title "Mumtaz Mahal" lit. 'The Exalted One of the Palace'.[13] Although betrothed to Shah Jahan since 1607,[14] she ultimately became his second wife in 1612.[15][16] Mumtaz and her husband had 14 children, including Jahanara Begum (Shah Jahan's favorite daughter),[17] and the Crown prince Dara Shikoh, the heir-apparent,[18] anointed by his father, who temporarily succeeded him until deposed by Mumtaz Mahal's sixth child, Aurangzeb, who ultimately succeeded his father as the sixth Mughal emperor in 1658.[19]
Mumtaz Mahal died in 1631 in Burhanpur, Deccan (present-day Madhya Pradesh) during the birth of her 14th child, a daughter named Gauhar Ara Begum.[20] Shah Jahan had the Taj Mahal built as a tomb for her, which is considered to be a monument of undying love. As with other Mughal royal ladies, no contemporary likenesses of her are accepted, but imagined portraits were created from the 19th century onwards.
Modern East Asian men imported the legends of Queen Padmavati and Mumtaz Mahal to create a new East Asian fantasy.😄
What does my brother Hassan think of the new Indian subcontinent fantasy created by modern East Asian men?😉
The pictures above are of women from the Indian subcontinent painted by a Japanese artist.
How does Hassan evaluate the imagination and creativity of East Asian men?😄
I hope you can pay a visit to India very soon and enjoy the lively beauty of the Indian women. Also, the cultural diversity will let you learn many things here. Especially you can enjoy a lot of food varieties in these countries of south Asia.
asalam alaykum, @tanzil2024 !
There are many countries, ethnic groups, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism in India. Are you recommending me to visit Bangladesh?😃
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padmaavat
Have you seen the movie Padmaavat? East Asian men who watched the movie were attracted to Deepika Padukone's beauty.😄
It's up to you, I don't think you will have the chance to enjoy the beauty of the girls in the way you live in Bangladesh as Muslim society doesn't allow exposing too much. So it is limited in Bangladesh but you can find it in abundance in India.
No, may be I haven't watched that movie, actually, I do have not much interest in historical or documentary-type movies. I prefer actions, thriller movies.
