This episode takes you to a 11th century temple at Modhera  in Gujarat, which is designed to get lit-up by the first rays of the sun on the summer solstice every year. Our next destination will be Raani ki vaav, a world heritage site and the grandest step-well in Gujarat built by a Queen in the memory of her husband. It is sheer poetry in stone.

In our premiere episode, we're awakening history and going back in time to experience the story of how Naperville went from a modest settlement to the best place to live in America.  Be sure to Follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Join the conversation and our Naperville Unwrapped community to share your recommendations and stories on our Naperville Unwrapped Facebook Group. You can also follow our official Naperville Unwrapped Podcast Facebook Page. You can also follow us on YouTube,  Instagram and TikTok for more everyday Naperville magic to help you unwrap what it means to call Naperville home.   Naperville Unwrapped is your slightly nerdy, always upbeat guide to one of the most fascinating towns in America. We’re peeling back the layers of Naperville to reveal the stories, spots, people, quirks, and questions that make this place way more than just a dot on the map. From hidden gems to hyperlocal history, smart observations to fun facts, we’re here to celebrate what makes Naperville tick—past, present, and future. Whether you’ve lived here forever, just moved in, or are curious about Naperville, this is your backstage pass to unwrap what it means to call Naperville home.   ABOUT DANA BERN Over the years, I’ve had so many friends, especially those new to Naperville or visiting from out of town, ask me for the inside scoop. Where to go. What to do. How to really get Naperville. Whether it was a family planning a day trip or a newcomer trying to feel more connected, I realized I loved being that go-to source. Sharing the spirit of this town has always been a badge of honor for me.   So I thought, why not build something I can point people to? Something fun, easy to listen to, and full of heart. Maybe even disarm a few skeptics along the way.   Naperville Unwrapped is my love letter to the town I call home. It’s also a way to give back and to support the small businesses, places, stories, and people that make Naperville so special.   And interestingly, it’s not just me. The show is a collaboration with Stuart Meyer, a former Naperville resident of 20 years who now lives in Florida but still cares deeply about this community. Together, we’re sharing the stories that make Naperville shine.   CONTACT DANA   In addition to her nerdy love for Naperville, Dana is also a realtor with a passion for making your Naperville dream home a reality.
