5 placesCharminar
चारमीनार
Standing at the centre of Hyderabad for over 430 years, the Charminar — 'four minarets' — is the city's soul. Its four grand arches face the four directions, its minarets rise 48 metres over the bazaars, and a mosque still crowns its top floor.
Mysore Palace
मैसूर पैलेस
The Mysore Palace is the seat of the Wodeyar maharajas and Bhārat's most visited monument after the Taj Mahal. Part Hindu, part Muslim, part Gothic — its domes and arches blend styles from across the world, and on Sunday nights it glows under 100,000 light bulbs.
Qutub Minar
क़ुतुब मीनार
Rising 72.5 metres over Delhi, the Qutub Minar is the world's tallest brick minaret — five storeys of fluted sandstone and marble, carved with verses from the Quran. Beside it stands a mystery: an iron pillar that has refused to rust for 1,600 years.
Red Fort
लाल किला
The Red Fort — Lal Qila — is Delhi's great red-sandstone fortress, seat of Mughal power for two centuries and the stage where Bhārat's freedom was declared. Every Independence Day, the Prime Minister hoists the tricolour from its ramparts.
Taj Mahal
ताजमहल
The Taj Mahal is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and Bhārat's most recognised face. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, its white marble dome seems to change colour with every hour of the sky.
One land. Endless wonders.
