Welcome
to Khaufpur, city of promise
Khaufpur
is a city of approaching a million souls situated at the absolute
centre of India. The lakes around which our city is built were
made a thousand years ago. Since that time the city was lost in
jungles, rediscovered and rebuilt. Again in the lifetime of those
living, a terrible calamity came upon this city, but again it
has risen and continues toward a future filled with promise. Khaufpur
is many things to many people, and sometimes, when we recall particular
pages in its history, we lose sight of all the things that our
city is: the capital of an ancient kingdom, a place of romantic
beauty, fine architecture and splendid scenery, a historic city
surrounded by the deepest forests in India, a centre of music
and arts, where the ghazal and the khayal flourished, where as
great a voice as our own Aawaaz-e-Khaufpur
made those amazing flights of fancy and fantasy by the shores
of this very lake pictured below; our city has been touched by
great tragedy, but it is also a city of science, of engineering,
of scholarship and of hope. Welcome again, to our city of lakes,
the famous, the beautiful city of Khaufpur. --S Allaudin
