What to see

A more extensive excursion program than the Golden Triangle, perhaps, is not found. 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

Jaipur can be called the most vibrant city.

Quite 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 protecting the city from raids and wild animals.

Most of the historical monuments of the city are built of pink sandstone, symbolizing 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 layout was specially designed by the architects so that 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 many interesting museums, where musical instruments, clothing and textile samples, ceremonial weapons collections, ancient manuscripts, miniature copies of famous Indian monuments are exhibited.

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

In summer, you can visit the Tidzh holidays, which takes place on 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 bring milk to snake holes, snake charmers everywhere show their skills.

Journey from Delhi to Agra

Delhi

The next point of the tour is Delhi, where you will be able to see not only the sights of the Old City, but also quite enjoy the masterpieces of British-Indian New architecture. 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 south minaret, from where the magic panorama of the Old City opens.

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.

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