-------------- Places visited on this tour:
India Gate
In the center of New Delhi, at one end of the Rajpath, stands the 42 m high India Gate, a "Triumphal Arch" similar to its French counterpart, commemorating the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British army during the First World War. The memorial is inscribed with the names of over 13,516 British and Indian soldiers killed on the North West Frontier in the 1919 Afghan War.
India Gate is considered to be one of the most important war memorials in the country and holds an important place in the hearts of Delhi residents. Whenever there's a cliffhanger or an occasion to celebrate, India Gate is the perfect spot for it.
Mughals and Mongols
The Mughals (Mughals) are a people whose empire dominated the entire region of the Indian Subcontinent. A rich and extravagant empire! Founder Babur was a Muslim Emperor, descended from Genghis Khan on his mother's side. Great names of this empire that we become familiar with on a trip to India are Akbar, Humayum and Sha Jahan, the latter the builder of the most famous tomb in the world: the Taj Mahal.
Although they are indeed related, the two empires did not exist at the same time. Babur is the great-great-grandson of the Great Genghis Khan and the Mughal Empire came into being almost 150 years after the end of the Mongol Empire. Apparently “Mughal”, in Persian means “Mongol”, would be a tribute to the great-great-grandfather.
Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's Tomb is sublimely proportionate, appearing to float above its symmetrical gardens. This monument predates the Taj Mahal by 60 years but is believed to have inspired it. Built for the Mughal Emperor in the mid-16th century by Haji Begum, Humayun's Persian wife, the tomb combines Persian and Mughal elements. The arched facade is inlaid with bands of white marble and red sandstone, and the building follows strict rules of Islamic geometry, with an emphasis on the number eight. The exterior of the monument is simple and symmetrical. The dome is a special attraction. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.
Qutb Complex
The Qutb complex comprises the Qutab Minar, the Ala'i Minar, madrasa, tombs, tombs, mosque and other architectural members.
The Qutab Minar is an unmissable Afghan-style victory tower and minaret, erected by Sultan Qutb Ud-din Aibak, founder of the Delhi Sultanate, in 1192 to proclaim his supremacy over the vanquished Hindu rulers of Qila Rai Pithora.
This minaret is 72.5 meters high and has five floors, the diameter of the base is 14.3 meters while it decreases to 2.7 meters at the top.
All floors are surrounded by a projected balcony that surrounds the miner and supported by stone consoles, decorated with a honeycomb design, more strikingly on the first floor.
Raj Ghat
In the oldest part of Delhi lies a cool and calm place called Raj Ghat. Raj Ghat is a memorial dedicated to the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. It is a black marble platform, built on the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi. It was built on January 30, 1948, the day after his assassination. The memorial is left open under the sky and an eternal flame burns endlessly.
Jama Masjid Mosque
The Jama Masjid Mosque in Delhi is the largest mosque in India and was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. With a capacity of 25,000 people in the courtyard, Jama Masjid extends over about 1,200 square meters in area with three gates, four towers and two minarets forty meters high.
The construction, made of marble and red sandstone, took six years (1650-1656) to complete. Literally meaning "Mosque that Reflects the World", the mosque was the latest in Emperor Shah Jahan's impressive collection of architectural endeavors, after the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort.
Lakshmi Narayan Temple
Better known as Birla Temple, Lakshmi Narayan Temple is dedicated to Lord Lakshmi Narayan. The main shrine honors Lakshmi, goddess of wealth.
Built by industrialist Baldeo Das Birla and his sons, the temple was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi on condition that it be open to people of all religions. It was built from 1933 to 1939 and was the first major Hindu temple in Delhi.
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
This magnificent white marble gurdwara (Sikh temple), topped by golden onion-shaped domes, was built in 1783 on the site of the eighth Sikh guru, Harkrishan Dev, once lived. Despite his young age, the six-year-old guru nursed the victims of Delhi's cholera and smallpox epidemic, and the waters in the temple's large pond are said to have healing powers.
