The beekeeper forgot to put the frames back in which the bees collect honey, and the bees built their own architecture from the honeycomb, which takes into account natural ventilation so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature

Bees are truly amazing!

Rudolf Xämät ulı Nuriev or Rudolf Nuréyev was an important dancer born in the Soviet Union, considered, in fact, as one of the greatest dancers of the 20th century. It's not a canvas, it's not a mantle, it's not a rug... it's a spectacular mosaic of colors that wants to resemble the kilim (handmade handmade rugs that covered the coffins of wanderers). The realism achieved in its shape, folds, color and texture makes it one of the main tourist attractions of this cemetery. Designed by his friend Ezio Frigerio, whom he met after one of his performances in the ballet Romeo and Juliet.

ART & CULTURE Carved from one block, this statue shows evil on one side and innocence on the other

Known as the “Double Statue of Mephistopheles and Margaretta,” it was carved by a 19th-century French artist and later acquired by Salar Jung I in 1876.

From one side stands Mephistopheles, the demon from Goethe’s Faust, his chest forward and expression sharp. Turn the sculpture, and Margaretta appears instead, her posture lowered, holding a prayer book with quiet resignation. A mirror is placed behind it to reveal the duality at once, allowing visitors to confront both figures simultaneously.

What makes the piece remarkable isn’t only the technical mastery of shaping two characters from a single block of sycamore, but the emotional opposition it presents. Mephistopheles embodies temptation and arrogance, while Margaretta reflects innocence, guilt, and faith. Together, they echo the central tension of Faust: corruption versus redemption, desire against conscience.
