to your hotel. After having some rest proceed for
sightseeing. Dinner & over night stay at hotel.
India's capital and a major gateway to the country,
contemporary Delhi is a bustling metropolis which
successfully combines in its fold the ancient and
the modern. Its strategic location was one of the
prime reasons why successive dynasties chose it
as their seat of power. It is not surprising then,
that what constitutes Delhi is a conglomerate of
seven cities. Down the ages the region in and around
modern delhi saw Lalkot built in the mid 11th century,
Siri established by Allauddin Khilji, Tughlakabad
and Ferozabad built by the tughlaks followed by
the city of the lodhis and then came Shahjahanabad,
capital of the mughals under Shah Jehan. New Delhi
also reflects the legacy the British left behind.
The division between new and old Delhi is the distinction
between the capitals of the British and the Mughals
respectively. So, wherever the visitor goes he will
invariably confront the city's past.
Day 2: Delhi – Jaipur

of Rajputana. In-spite of growing into a bustling
metropolis, it still retains it's character and
history - Beautiful fusion of the yesteryears and
modernity. Popularly known as the Pink City because
of the extensive use of the locally abundant pink
plastered stone, painted so in honor of the visit
of the royal consort of Queen Victoria. Jaipur thrills

exquisite temples and lush gardens.

Agra
Badal
Singh established the city of Taj in 1475. Agra
finds mention in the Mahabharat as Agraban. This
city in those days was considered to be the sister-city
of Mathura, which was more prominent than Agraban.
Agra came into its own when the Lodhi Kings chose
this place beside the RIVER YAMUNA to be their
capital city. Sikander Lodhi made Agra his capital
but Babar defeated the Lodhis to capture not only
Agra but also laid the foundation of the Mughal
Empire.
The coming of Babar heralded a new era, which
was to see Agra at its zenith during the reign
of Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan. It was during
Akbar's period that Agra became the center of
art, culture and commerce and learning. This trend
reached its height when Shah Jahan became the
ruler.
In the Mid 16th century and earlier 17th century
Agra witnessed a frenzied building activity and
it was during this time when the symbol of love
Taj Mahal was built. The buildings made during
this era were purely in the contemporary Mughal
style and of very high quality. The same is still
reflected in whatever monuments remain in Agra.
The narrow lanes of Agra filled with aroma of
Mughlai cuisine, the craftsman who are busy in
crating master pieces with their skill all remind
of the Mughal royalty which this city had once
experienced. Today whatever remains, has become
a major tourist attraction which has taken Agra
again to the heights of glory but this time as
a major tourist destination of India. Proceed
for sightseeing.

Temple 
Har
Mandir Saheb, popularly known, as the Golden temple
is the holiest shrine for the Sikhs, so called
because the entire upper half was inlaid with
copper covered over by gold plate. The architecture
of the Golden Temple, is a blend of Hindu and
Muslim styles.
The principle of universal participation was extended
to the planning and execution of the project.
All Sikhs in all congregations had a role in building
this noble edifice to their faith. Their participation
took two forms: voluntary labor (sewa) at the
site, and a donation (daswandh) of ten percent
of their income to support the construction. In
1589 by Guru Arjun Dev - Nanak V (1563-1606) was
laid down the foundation of the temple. Mir Mohammed
Muayyinul Islam, popularly known as Mian Mir was
requested to lay the foundation stone. The great
Sikh secular leader, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, donated
100 kg of gold to the temple and thus gold was
applied to the copper sheets on the roof and the
exterior of the building. The construction of
the temple was completed in late sixteenth century.
The Sikh ruler, Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1803,
rebuilt it. It is a two stores marble structure,
with an imposing dome of pure gold. The architecture
of the Temple is a blend of Hindu and Muslim styles.
The golden dome is meant to represent an inverted
lotus flower and the interior of the temple is
decorated with semi precious stones, frescoes
and glasswork. The gnarled old Jubi Tree in the
northwest corner of the compound is believed to
possess special powers. The Golden Temple's first
high priest, Baba Buddhaya, planted it. Guru-ka-Langar
or the communal canteen is towards the eastern
entrance of the temple complex providing free
food to all visitors, regardless of colour, creed,
or caste.
