This package
will take you to the three most popular tourist
places in North India. Popularly called the
‘Golden Triangle’, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur best
exemplify Mughal, Rajput and Colonial history.
Every monument here has a grand story to it. The
three cities have been Capitals for kingdoms and
great Empires of the past. Delhi figures in the
part-mythological and historical kingdoms of
ancient India. Agra and Delhi were at different
times the capitals of the Sultanates and of the
Great Mughal Empire through Medieval times.
Jaipur figures as the capital of the erstwhile
Rajput state of Jaipur. Their striking monuments
evoke memories of glorious historical events.
While many of them were made for defence, others
have a social and cultural bearing. In these
cities lies living evidence of the art and
architectural traditions of medieval India. Some
of the world’s best-known architectural marvels
like the Taj, the Jantar Mantar (Observatory),
and the Qutub Minar and of course the various
palaces and forts are located here.
Today Delhi and Jaipur are bustling metros. New Delhi, the
capital of India, while retaining traces of a colonial past also showcases aspects of modern
India. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, the desert state with a royal past. The Pink City as
it is more often called is a fast growing metro today. Agra is of course best known for the
Marble Wonder - AGRA- the Taj. The Monumental Memories package combines a lesson in
history with a great shopping experience. There are on offer, a range of handicrafts, textiles,
semi precious stones and other memorabilia. All-in-all a- must- see for visitors to India. |
