Wow, these look great!

@prajography well done, can wait to see all the labels. Never knew Sindhudurg had so many interesting locations.

@tantadang the markers are looking really nice. One of the issues is that the main road color is similiar in lightness with the background is slightly hard to make out. You can improve the contrast by adding a thin border for the road, to get this effect, duplicate the main road layer and change the color and width slightly.

@arshedhakeem the district highighting helps bring focus to the map, nicely done. What would be interesting for me as a tourist looking for ayurvedic centres is to know which ones are more famous and trustworthy. And there might be more categorization of the centres based on techniques that would be useful to bring out using markers and icons.

@yashodha8 the colors are looking really interesting, although i'm not sure if they represent anything in particular yet.

@SuchismitaNaik the legibility of the labels over water is lowere than on land, this can be improved by add ing a slight halo color to the text making it stand out from the background. Also useful on this map might be to highlight beaches and tourist zones where they will be a high density of eateries.
