लैंडमार्क, निशानी


Explanation:
मैं इसका अनुवाद नहीं करना पसंद करूंगा क्‍योंकि कोई उपयुक्‍त शब्‍द हमारी भाषा में नहीं है जो इसके अर्थों को पूरी तरह संप्रेषित कर सके।
लैंडमार्क के बाद जो शब्‍द दिमाग़ में आता है वह है 'निशानी'।
मेरे हिसाब से इन्‍हीं दो में से किसी को उपयोग में लाना चाहिए।

According to Ohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmark-originally, a landmark literally meant a geographic feature used by explorers and others to find their way back or through an area. In modern usage, it includes anything that is easily recognizable, such as a monument, building, or other structure. In American English it is the main term used to designate places that might be of interest to tourists due to notable physical features or historical significance. Landmarks in the British English sense are often used for casual navigation, such as giving directions. This is done in American English as well.
