My Trip to Dehli and Agra

On November 4 2007 I left for Delhi. I reached there in the night. The next morning I went to see the INDIA GATE. It was built for all the soldiers who died in the wars.






We also went to see the Delhi Gate. It was one of the entrances to Delhi during the Mughal dynasty. I also went to see the Qutab minar . We saw the Purana Qila . This is one of the places in the Indian folktale Mahabharata. I went to see Jantar Mantar which you can understand more about the stars and planets without technology. I went to see the Rashtrapati Bhawan which is the president’s house as well as The Parliament house. The next day I went to Agra. I saw the famous Taj Mahal. It was a very beautiful sight. It was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his dead wife Mumtaz Mahal. We also went to see the Agra Fort. This is the fort that Shah Jahan was kept prisoner by his own son Aurangzeb who wanted to become king. Shah Jahan spent the last days of his life looking at the Taj Mahal. On the last day we went to the Lotus temple. Also the Red Fort. There is a lot of history behind these places. Delhi is a very wonderful place. This is how I spent my Diwali holiday.
