Golden Triangle Tours: Travel To Affluent Heritage Of India
The three anchor cities that complete the famed Golden Triangle tourist circuit of North India are Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. They are best for those who have limited time to visit India and still don"t want to miss out on its essence. However, tour operators in India are being liberal with the term these days and you can find Golden Triangle Tours of the East that basically cover Bhubaneshwar, Konark, and Puri; Golden Triangle Tours of the South that showcase Bengaluru, Mysore, and Ooty; and Golden Triangle Tours of the West with Chennai, Kanchipuram, and Mahabalipuram as its highlights. Each of these tours focus on the beauty and essence of the region they cover and hence, are worth exploring in their own rights.As you move through the winding lanes of the Red Fort in Delhi, being awed by its grand palaces and ingenuity of the skilled craftsmen that worked hard to achieve such perfection, you will be able to visualize the impressive grandeur of Mughal emperors who fought their way to the top of Indian political hierarchy. In Delhi, you will also be able to see other Mughal-era monuments, prominent British architecture such as India Gate and the President"s House, and modern-day sites such as memorials of top political leaders of India and glorious Akshardham Temple that has entered Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest religious precincts.
The Taj Mahal at Agra is of course the major highlight of the Golden Triangle Tour but the Fatehpur Sikri, Sikandra, and Agra Fort take you deeper into the background of Mughals before they moved to Delhi. Jaipur is a testimony to the grandeur of Rajputs who had ruled India for hundreds of years, before Mughals arrived to displace them as the supreme rulers of the land. Rajasthan Rajputs were never really crushed away but many of them did enter into treaties for the sake of peace and prosperity of their subjects.
Jaipur rulers were the first ones to realize the tactical need of the hour and the marriage of Rajput princess Jodhabai to Mughal Emperor Akbar laid the foundation of continued prosperity of their kingdom. The Mughal influence in the architecture of Amber Fort is an indication of this extraordinary event of Indian history. The niche and windows of Hawa Mahal tell you how Rajput women, though veiled at all times, were never unaware of the significant happenings of the times.
