Literally meaning, the ‘abode of God’, Akshardham Temple was constructed in late 2005 in the honour of Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
The external facade the temple is constructed using detailed carvings on sandstone while the flooring is done using white marbles. It has vast areas of gardens, fountains, a step-well styled courtyard, a museum and a mini theatre where the teachings of Swaminarayan gets projected via audiovisuals. The temple has over 20,000 statues of various Hindu sages, devas and acharyas.
Red Fort
In the chaotic lanes of Old Delhi is the Red Fort which is immensely popular for being of great historical importance, both during the Mughal Era and the British Era. In 2007, it was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The fort is spread across 256 acres, and if one has an aerial view of the fort, one can see that it’s octagonal in shape. As the name suggests, it is made using red sandstones under the reign of Mughal Emperor Shahjahan.
India Gate
Standing tall in the central part of Delhi is the India Gate which acts a memorial for the thousands of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Mother India during the different wars. Owing to its massive structure, emotional history and central location, India Gate is visited by all kinds of tourists.
Rashtrapati Bhavan
As the name suggests, Rashtrapati Bhavan is the home of the President of India and is the artwork of exemplary imagination and architecture. Indians find pride in visiting it because it is a standing example of India being a Democratic, Secular, Socialist and Sovereign nation.
Humayun’s Tomb
Unsurprisingly, Humayun’s Tomb is the tomb of the Mughal emperor Humayun. It was originally constructed for his Persian wife and hence its architecture drew inspiration from both Mughal and the Persian elements.
It was the first garden-tomb of India and its architecture was taken as an example in the construction of various other Mughal monuments such as the Taj Mahal, Safdarjung Tomb, amongst various others.
Qutub Minar
It is a 43m long Minaret with a 14m diameter at the base and is situated in the South Delhi District. The tower has 5 storeys with intricately crafted spiral-shaped 379 steps.
What’s interesting to note is that the 5 storeys were not constructed at once. In fact, the constructed was initiated by Qitub-ud-Din Aibak who only created the basement which was taken over by his successor, Iltutmish, who then build the next three storeys.
