Recently I saw the movie “Badrinath ki Dulhania “and was quite impressed with the outdoor shooting in Kota.I thought that the seven wonders park was in Ramoji city, Hyderabad. So I browsed internet and found that the park is in Kota city itself. I must congratulate the people who created it. Now it is for the people of Kota and the visitors to keep it “swaccha “.
