I am not intrested in Mutual Funds actually. So my first preference is Share Market.

Looks like you are too anxious to quickly jump into share market, and that too with little knowledge about the same.
Anyway, the market is very near to it's peak and after the annual results by end April, the market may have very little to cheer about in the near future. This may not be a good time to enter in.
I feel you may look out for other avenues of short term investment and come back to stock market at a later time.
In the mean time, you may improve your knowledge by going through Traderji and other resources.
After acquiring enough knowledge, you may invest a small amount (Less than 1%) to get the real feel.
That experience will give you the necesary direction to where and how to proceed.
Of course your money may be 'idle' (giving less yield like in FD); better it is idle than it is NOT there.
As the amount is large and out of the sale proceeds of a land/house etc, you may need to consult a tax consultant before a trader/investor.
I wish you will take all opinion and take your own 'informed decision', as ultimately you will be the affected.
All the best.
