What to see

More a busy excursion program than the Golden Triangle, perhaps, not to find. Such cities as Agra, Jaipur, Delhi are the main tourist centers of India and store many interesting places, historical monuments and architectural masterpieces from the time of the Great Mogul dynasty.

Jaipur

The most striking city rightfully can be called Jaipur.

Absolutely small in size, the city was built on all canons of ancient Indian architecture: it has a rectangular layout with narrow picturesque streets filled with people, shops and shops, surrounded by a fortress wall that protected the city from raids and ikih animals.

Most of the historical monuments of the city are built of pink sandstone, which symbolizes hospitality. The most picturesque landmarks of Jaipur can be considered the Palace of the Winds and the City Palace Complex. The Palace of the Winds is truly a fabulous place, built especially for the sheik harem in the form of honeycombs. Such a plan was specially designed by the architects so that the beautiful residents could, without fear of being seen, observe the life of the city.

The city palace complex is no less interesting. On his inspection will have to spend almost all day. The palace itself consists of a lot of interesting museums, where musical instruments, clothing and samples of textiles, collections of ceremonial weapons, ancient manuscripts, miniature copies of famous Indian monuments are exhibited.

In the city in the beginning of November there is a grand feast of Diwali or a festival of lights dedicated to the goddess love and prosperity of Lakshmi, when candles light up all over the city, the houses are decorated with lights, and the sky is lit by unusual fireworks.

In summer you can visit the Tijj holidays, which passes the third day of the new moon. This is quite an interesting sight, when the swings of the city are decorated with flowers and leaves, this day is celebrated the beginning of the rainy season. For fans of reptiles, the festival of Nagpanchmi will be extremely curious, because it is on this day that this sacred animal is praised. People are bringing milk to snake holes, snake charmers are showing their skills everywhere.

Journey from Delhi to Agra

Delhi

The next point of the tour will be Delhi, where you will be able to see not only the sights of the Old City, but also quite enjoy masterpieces of British-Indian architecture of the New. First of all tourists will be offered to inspect the huge mosque of Jama Masjid. A beautiful building of red sandstone and white marble is an excellent example of ancient Indian architecture. Here you can wash your hands in the pool or climb to the southern minaret, from where you can see the magic panorama of the Old Town.

Next - Red Fort, built in 1648. On the territory you get through the gates of Lahore and immediately find yourself on one of the first covered markets Chatta Chowk. Until now, there has been preserved with nothing incomparable atmosphere of India, which it was hundreds of years ago. On the shelves you can find the most unimaginable goods, buy jewelry and souvenirs, scented candles, oils, fabrics and clothes.

But do not buy anything edible here.
Do not stay long in the market, go to the Fort Museum, where objects of everyday life and musical instruments are exhibited.

In the northern part of New Delhi there is the Konnaut square - the business and tourist center of the New City. Here are the best shops and restaurants of the city, from here begins expensive to the gates of India, where the eternal fire burns in memory of the fallen soldiers of the Second World War and military parades are held. No less interesting is the inspection of the Hindu temple of Lakshmi-Narayan, named after the goddess of abundance and wealth of Lakshmi. The walls of the temple are decorated with carvings and images from Hindu mythology

Delhi celebrates many holidays, but if you are a music connoisseur it is worth visiting here on the Republic Day, January 26. On this day a folk music and dance festival is usually held at the National Stadium

Agra
