Rajlaxmi Adwant is from Nath Valley School, Auranagbad, Mahrashtra. She says " I enjoy reading and writing immensely as English is my favourite subject. I am fourteen years old and my birthday is on 30th January. I like to cook too, when I get time. And of course, who doesn't like music? When I grow up, I would like to become a lawyer and write books as a side job".

Rajlaxmi Adwant from Nath Valley school, Aurangabad is talking about a lake "Pariyon Ka Talav" during an event organised by INTACH.

Pariyon ka Talaab, meaning the 'Lake of Fairies', lies near Shuli Bhanjan on way to Ellora from Aurangabad. This lake is situated near the tomb of Sufi Saint by name of Sheikh Jalaluddin Ganjerawan who arrived in the Hizari year 630.

The name "Pariyon ka talab" also comes from a legend associated with it. It was believed that women taking a dip in the lake were cleansed of any unholy spirit's clutches.
The lake commands scenic beauty. It is a large lake with steps all along its western shore and a stage like platform which bears great resemblance to the ancient roman amphitheater.
