Cities of India

If you came to India for the first time - then Delhi, Agra and Jaipur - is the absolutely necessary minimum of places to visit.

Delhi

Let's start with the capital. Delhi is a metropolis with 13 million inhabitants. Here in 1911, the Indian capital was transferred from Calcutta. Like any capital, Delhi is a city of contrasts: the real slums are combined with colonial chic, and ultramodern buildings with majestic ancient temples. In the old part of the city is the top object from the tourist list - Red Fort Delhi, built during the heyday of the Mughal empire. In fact, the fort is a city within the city - there are only six royal palaces in it.

In addition, in Delhi, you can (more precisely need to) look:

  • The largest mosque in India, Jami Masjid, in the courtyard of which is located 25 thousand people, and minarets reach a height of 40 meters;
  • complex Kutab Minar, located 15 kilometers from the capital. Built in the early 12th century by the Great Moguls, the five-story Qutab Minar is a cone-shaped tower 85 meters high, covered with quotations from the Koran. Nearby there is a mysterious Iron Column (7 meters and inscriptions in Sanskrit), which is two and a half thousand years old. Mysteriousness lies in the fact that the column is iron, but not rusted.
  • Laksmi Narayan, the most popular capital temple, dedicated to Krishna and his wife, patrons of love and family.

Agra

The former capital of the Mughals of Agra differs by the largest number of attractions per unit area.

The most famous landmark of Agra, a kind of symbol of India - the mausoleum of the Taj Mahal. Built by Shah Jeyhan in memory of his deceased wife, a white marble mausoleum at the foot of red sandstone is surrounded by a luxurious garden. Four channels are laid in the garden, symbolizing the way to paradise, a huge pool reflects the outline of the majestic structure, and visitors take off their shoes at the entrance to the mausoleum, as if they are entering the temple.

Two kilometers from the Taj Mahal is Fort Agra, built in the middle of the 16th century for the defense of the city, and later became the residence of the Great Moguls. Outside the walls of twenty meters high, palaces, terraces, mosques, colonnades and magnificent gardens are hidden.

Located in the vicinity of Agra, Fatehpur Sikri is another former capital of the Great Moguls. The city was built in honor of Sufi Chishti, who predicted the birth of his son to the childless Emperor Akbar. When this joyous event finally happened - the emperor laid a new city and moved the capital here. The shrine of Saint Chishti attracts many thousands of pilgrims, mostly childless women.

Jaipur - treasure of India

Jaipur

Jaipur, which is called the "Pink City" was built by the Maharaj of Savoy Jai Singh the Second. His ambitious plan was to build an ideal city, with a layout appropriate to the structure of the universe. The city is divided into nine sectors, all the streets intersect at a right angle, and at each intersection there are large areas. The city is surrounded by a fortification wall, and pink marble of surprising beauty was actively used in construction, actually giving the city the name.

The city palace of Jaipur (on the area of ​​the seventh part of the city), represents a unique fusion of two architectural schools - Rajaput and Mogul.

The Palace of the Winds is a symbol of Jaipur and its main attraction, a luxurious five-story building made of pink marble, blown through, served in the past as a harem.

The amber fort, located 11 kilometers from Jaipur, is a complex of exquisite palaces, temples, gardens and pavilions, hidden behind the severe fortifications. Nearby is another fort - Jaygrah, representing the materialization of plan B - in case of immediate danger, the rajah and his entourage could move from the Amber Fort in Jaigra through an intricate (for the uninitiated) system of underground passages.

Another palace - Jal Mahal is located in the middle of an artificial lake. It was intended for recreational activities, as well as for hunting waterfowl.
