    Does these 2 pages cause canonical issue: http://www.mustseeindia.com/places-around-Bangalore and http://www.mustseeindia.com/places-around-bangalore?

    If Google discovers your webpages via multiple URLs, it is going to declare them as duplicate. Hence, you need to tell Google about your preferred URL by adding rel=”canonical to your preferred version:
    Example being
    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish" />

    This will give an answer to your canonical related ques

    If different urls redirects same web page, then canonical problem occurs. You should check your problem to understand more.
