India’s Golden Triangle Tour
Delhi has a long history. Since time immemorial, Delhi has been at the heart of power in India, It was here that Pandavas (Mahabharata) built Indraprastha. It was here that Prithvi Raj Chauhan, the legendary Indian prince built his Qila Rai Pithora. It was here indeed when he finally lost his secod battle to Muhammad of Ghor which laid the foundation of Sultanate in Delhi.
And it wasn’t long that after the fall of Khilji that Persians invaded their own, Delhi was then ruled by the weak Tughlaqs until succeeded by Lodis and finally Babur defeated them and established the Mughal Empire in India.
Mughal rule kind of gave shape to what India is today by unifying it. As they established the system and unified various territories in the North India as we know of today began to thrive. But they not only ruled, They were great connoisseurs of art. From Kashmir to Rajasthan they built.
Some of the most famed tourist places in India are what they built. From Char Bagh of Kashmir to Taj Mahal in Agra and Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi, spectacular monuments were built fusing Persion, and Rajputana architecture and more style too which is now referred to as Indo Saracenic architecture.
Some of the most notable heritage structures you’ll visit in Delhi include Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar Group of Monuments, Red Fort Complex and Mehrauli Archeological Park.
