Thanks.. but is there something like creating a dynamic module like building a image gallery which will give good idea about dynamic contents I can look for?
Rony, this page describes how you would build dynamic modules. Basically you are looking to create Sections in Symphony which can be composed of multiple elements (to your desire). You can use fields provided by the Core Systems or otherwise add others provided as extensions. Here is a list of field extensions
To pull this data you would have to use data-sources which are explained very well in the concepts page and the tutorial.
Eg. to build an image gallery, you would have to create a section Images, which would contain an upload field + image title / description. Then you would use a data-source to pull these image into the XML so you can transform the data into the gallery via XSLT
