multicolored country as it shapes your vision at every of its fold. With the
country's tourism branched into several forms, India has a chunk for every kind
of a traveler. There are many beautiful and worth seeing historical places in
India, But I would like to disclose the most beautiful of all.
Taj Mahal
Mughal
Emperor Shah Jahan got this monument constructed in the memory of his beloved
wife Mumtaz Mahal. Ironically, the very first sight of the Taj Mahal, the
epitome of love and romance, also leaves visitors mesmerized and perpetually enthralled.
The brink of dawn when the first rays of the sun hits the dome of this epic monument,
it radiates like a heavenly abode, cloaked in bright golden. And then at dusk,
basking in the glory of moon, it shines like a perfectly carved diamond;
appearing as if straight owed of some magical tale, leaving the viewers
awestruck by its sense of grandeur. Nothing short of an architectural marvel,
no wonder it stands proud at being one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Golden
Temple
The
Golden Temple, located in the city of Amritsar in the state of Punjab, is a
place of great beauty and sublime peacefulness. It was built in the 16th
century by Guru Arjan dev ji, the Golden Temple opens from four gates which symbolizes
the openness of Sikhism towards all the people and all the religions. The Gurdwara
is surrounded by the Sarovar, a large lake or holy tank, which consists
of Amrit ("holy water" or "immortal nectar") and
is fed by the Ravi River. The temple’s dome is glided with 750kg of pure
gold. It was built at a lower level than surrounding land so that devotees
would have to go down steps to enter it. Over the centuries it became the
primary sacred/holiest shrine of the Sikhs. It is also known as Harmandar Sahib
or Darbar sahib.
Dal Lake
Dal
Lake is the most important landmark of Srinagar, it is named as “Jewel in the
crown of Kashmir” or “Srinagar’s Jewel” It figures high on tourist itineraries
and every tourist to the Kashmir valley makes it a point to visit the water body.
The shore line of the lake is encompassed by a boulevard lined with Mughal
era gardens, parks, houseboats and hotels. May to November is the
best time to visit Dal Lake as the climate is pleasant. During winter, it gets
extremely cold. The lake is also an important source for commercial operations
in fishing and water plant harvesting.
Agra
fort
The
Agra Fort, also known as the “Lal –Qila”, “Fort Rouge” or “Qila-i-Akbari”, is
the highlight of the city of Agra. It is
a symbol of power, strength and resilience, as it stands today in full glory.
The Structures built as a sign of prowess remind us all of the grit and valour
of the brave men and women who captured, destroyed and built such overwhelming
edifices.
Rohtang
Pass
Rohtang
Pass, is a high mountain pass on the eastern Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas
