The rich historical past and architectural past of India
has resulted in the country being full of historical
monuments. Especially its royal past and the colonial
rule has ensured that it has so many monuments that you
will tire from visiting all of them, but will never fall
short of them. Infact, Delhi, the capital of India,
boasts of so many monuments that you cannot possibly
think of covering all of them in a single visit. Right
from forts to tombs to towers to other magnificent
edifices (like India Gate), the city has it all.
Then, we have the state of Rajasthan, in which almost
every city has a fort or a palace to be proud of. The
Shekhawati region in the state is known for housing some
of the most magnificent havelis (mansions) in the entire
country. The architectural beauty of these monuments is
enough to make you want to come again. When talking about
Indian monuments, how can one forget the famous, the
breathtaking and the awesome monument of love, which we
know as the 'Taj Mahal'? Many tourists come to the
country to visit this architectural wonder of the world
only.
Go to south and you will be greeted by the Dravidian
architectural style, which can be seen in its forts,
temples, palaces, etc. The monuments in India, just like
its people, belong to different religions. We have Hindu
palaces, Muslim forts, Christian churches, Jewish
synagogues and Buddhist stupas. Almost every monument in
the country has a tale attached to it, which speaks
volumes about the courage, valor, heroism and chivalry of
its founders. A trip to India, without visiting its
monuments, is incomplete.
