Sightseeing In Delhi -
Red Fort : Built in Red Sand stone between 1639 - 1648 AD,
this imposing fort is 3 kms in perimeter with the height of the
wall fluctuating from 18 to 30 m at places. In the evening the
Delhi Tourism Department organises a light and sound show which
narrates the history of Delhi in context of the Red Fort. The
light & sound show organised here is worth seeing.
Jama Masjid : Jama Masjid built in 1650 AD by Shah Jehan
(the Vth Mughal Emperor) is one place in Delhi which is a must
visit. One of the Architectural beauty of the past, Jama Masjid
is one of the largest mosques not only in Delhi but in India.
Raj Ghat :Along the banks of the river Yamuna is located
the place where the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, was
cremated. The Raj Ghat is one of the most visited Ghats. A
simple square platform of black marble marks the spot where
Mahatma Gandhi was cremated after his assassination in 1948.
Qutab Minar : Qutub Minar is the most recognised landmark
of Delhi. In 1199 AD, Qutbuddin erected the Qutub Minar either
as a victory tower or as a minaret to the adjacent mosque. From
a base of 14.32 mtrs. it tapers to 2.75 mtrs. at a height of
72.5 mtrs. Even today, it is the highest stone and one of the
finest stone towers in India.
The Lotus Temple : Completed in 1986, the Lotus Temple or
the Bahai temple is set amidst pools and gardens, and adherents
of any faith are free to visit the temple and pray or meditate
silently according to their own religion. The structure is in
lotus shape so it often called the lotus temple. The view of the
temple is very spectacular just before dusk when the temple is
flood lit.
India Gate : India Gate is a 42 mtrs high stone arch of
triumph. It bears the name of the 85,000 Indian Army Soldiers
who died in the campaigns of World War I. Below the arch is the
memorial to the unknown soldier. India Gate is surrounded by
green grass lawns and trees. A place you should not miss.
Agra
Taj Mahal : Described as the most extravagant monument ever
built for love, it was constructed by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan
as a memorial to his queen Mumtaz Mahal, made out of white
marble took 22 years to complete (1630-1652 AD). Ustad Ahamad
Lahori, a Persian Architect, is said to be the main designer and
planner for this magnificent memorial. On full moon nights, the
glory of the Taj is at its best.

Jaipur
-
The
Rose Pink City founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II (1693-1743), is
the capital of Rajasthan. It is a major attraction for the
first-time visitor. Jaipur is surrounded on all sides by rugged
hills, crowned with forts & enclosed by embattled walls. Houses
with latticed windows line the streets with their rose pink
colour, lending enchantment to the scene, which is almost
magical at sunset. The whole city was painted in Pink colour by
Maharaja Man Singh II when Prince of Wales, later Edward VII,
visited Jaipur in 1876 AD. Today, every home within the city is
obliged by law to maintain its facade. Jaipur is a royal city &
this is its most noticeable aspect, small buildings & festivals
testify it.
