Rama's (Krishna Bharadwaj) wit and the ability to solve the trickiest problem will now be challenged to try and save King Krishnadevaraya (Manav Gohil) and his kingdom.

Following the arrival of a suspicious child, Somu (Hridyansh Shekhawat), into Vijayanagar, the kingdom is under the cruel curse of Krodh (anger). In his effort to consistently instigate the king to lose his cool, Somu finally succeeds in provoking the King to accept the challenge to a dual with a courageous warrior, Panchavrisha. With the entry of this majestic Yoddha challenging the King, Vijayanagar's future is now in jeopardy- if Krishnadevaraya loses the battle, the Kingdom will then belong to Panchavrisha! While the King is already dealing with his anger issues on one front, on another front, he has once again given in to Krodh and sentenced Tathacharya (Pankaj Berry) to be hanged by death.

Chandigarh 19th June:-Contrary to a general perception that trekkers and adventure seekers mainly drive monsoon travel, this year family travellers are taking a lead being over 70% of the travel inquiries generated from family segment. Going by the number of inquiries, we expect the overall travel demand for the season to surge by 20% as compared to the last year.

Family travellers are mainly looking for relaxed beach vacations, staycations at nearby resorts, explore hillside for lush greenery and waterfalls and relish delicious hot cuisines.

Travellers from Mumbai and Pune are opting for short trips within Maharashtra and neighbouring states such as Goa and Gujarat.  Staycations in Lonavala, Silvassa, Lavasa, Saputara, Mahabaleshwar, Daman and Nasik are picking up. Sultry beaches and appetising seafood in Goa and Konkan are back on the radar of west India travellers with the onset of monsoon.

Monsoon travellers from Delhi and Chandigarh are mainly finding solace in hill stations such as Mussoorie and Nainital. Some of them are taking road trips to Rajasthan to explore places like Jaisalmer, jaipur, Bikaner, Jodhpur and Udaipur. However, adventure trails from Delhi to Ladakh are the key highlight of the season.

Travellers from east India mainly prefer staycations in Darjeeling in premium properties like Mayfair and Ramada. Some are even heading to Assam and Meghalaya to experience the extreme rains, nature and eco-friendly atmosphere.

Down south, Munnar, Waynad, Thekkady, Coorg and Kabini are the most popular places to enjoy monsoon. Health tourism in Kerala is expected to reach at its peak with rise in demand for ayurvedic treatments during monsoon.

To motivate more families to take a monsoon break, Cox & Kings is currently offering a deal- '25% off on companion' on the monsoon special trips.

Chandigarh 20th June:-In India, Solar power is a fast developing industry. Report says that the country's solar installed capacity reached 28.18 GW as of 31 March 2019. Initially the Indian government had a target of 20 GW for 2022, which was achieved four years in advance. In 2015, the target was raised to 100 GW of solar capacity, including 40 GW from rooftop solar by 2022, targeting an investment of US$100 billion. So this is going to be our future and Solar is here to stay, in the welfare of the common man, who is ready to go Solar. According to a report, rooftop solar power accounts for 3.4 GW, of which 70% is industrial or commercial. In addition to its large-scale grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) initiative, India is developing off-grid solar power for local energy needs. Solar products have increasingly helped to meet rural needs also such as solar lanterns and solar cookers. ZunRoof started its journey two years ago, and now it has the highest of residential rooftop installations in India. With more than 1 Lakh happy clients, ZunRoof is the largest solar rooftop company for homes and small businesses in India.

Considering each Indian roof is unique, ZunRoof creates aesthetically attractive solar rooftop designs by a mix of Image Processing, VR and Data AnalyticsZunRoof also provides IOT-based remote monitoring system that gives real time updates about solar energy production and lifetime customer support. Going Solar with ZunRoof can help you save up to 100% in your electricity bill. It happened with Delhi residents like Chetan Khera, Rohin Marker, and Shashi Kiran Singh Puri. All three residents' homes are located in an area that has sufficient power supply but they were incurring expensive electricity bills. ZunRoof recommended them to install a Grid Tied-solar system at their homes, depending on the need. As we see, Delhi receives substantial amount of sunlight in summer, ZunRoof suggested them to invest in solar power to reduce electricity bills to a maximum as the net metering and subsidy given by the government make solar power a very cost effective and affordable solution for one and all. 

Rohin Marker installed 5kW ZunRoof solar system at his home in Delhi which helped him go green and save money. As a result of the substantial savings in electricity bills, the DISCOM provider has offered to reduce his sanctioned load from 11kW to 7kW.Almost same experiences were shared by Chetan Khera and Shashi Kiran Singh Puri too. While Chetan Khera went with 5kW system size, and got zero electricity Bill, the installation of 10kW system size at the house of Shashi Kiran Singh Puri, helped him to resolve his problem of high electricity bill, now the energy consumption at his house has a negative bill, which means he is making monthly income by selling excess electricity back to the main grid. ZunRoof  has provided an incredible energy and cost efficient option to them. It saves their money and also provides power backup during power cuts.

ZunRoof ensures that clients remain happy with a client ticketing system. Clients get sustained rooftop output and real-time savings from solar on the App through IOT based diagnostics and maintenance alerts. ZunRoof offers the best prices and the right quality options to the customers through multiple installer partners in Delhi (NCR), and it designs the optimum solution for the customer's requirements in an extremely transparent way.
