India is a country of happy people.
India ranks second in the world in terms of population and still has a high percentage of poverty. But at the same time, open and happy people live in India, who enjoy every day. This is a country of contrasts and bright colors, which is difficult to compare with anything else. Travel Extravaganza invites you to travel to the east and try to understand this mystery.
Delhi is one of the most developed cities in the country. Capital, metropolis, most of which arose in the 20th century.
There are about 60,000 monuments in Delhi, which are the cultural heritage not only of the country but of the whole world. The Lodi Gardens and the Jammu Masjid Mosque, the Red Fort and the Lotus Temple and the Tomb of Humayun are particularly popular.
Qutub Minaret is the tallest minaret in the world among similar brick buildings. Built in the early Middle Ages, it is a magnificent masterpiece of art and architecture.
And in Delhi there is one unique structure - a 7-meter column of 6 tons of iron, which managed to avoid corrosion for 1600 years.
Kurukshetra is one of the most revered holy places in India. According to legend, on the field of Kurukshetra 5,000 years ago a great battle described in the era of Mahabharata took place. According to even older legends, this is where the whole universe began. Today, Kurukshetra is a cluster of concrete structures, newly built temples and pilgrim lodgings alongside historical and religious shrines. Don't expect to see ancient temples and numerous historical monuments here, but after visiting here you can understand what Hindus believe.
Another shrine of India is the city of Amritsar. Tourists from all over the world come here to admire the Sikh monument - the golden temple, which is located on a picturesque lake, according to local legends, bestows immortality on those who bathe in it. In addition, this area is very beautiful and deserves your attention.
Dharamsala is the city where the soul is healed. Today, this place is known mainly for the administration of the Tibetan government-in-exile, the residence of the Tibetan Dalai Lama and the leader of the Tibetan Kagyu sect - the Karmapa. There are several Buddhist monasteries in a small village.
The site was reserved by the Indian government to accommodate the many Tibetan refugees and immigrants who left Tibet to avoid political persecution and repression by the Chinese administration that has ruled Tibet since the 1950s, when Tibet lost its political independence. Hollywood stars often come here to express their solidarity with the struggle of the Tibetan people for independence. For example: Richard Gere, Stephen Seagal, Pierce Brosnan, Goldie Hall and others. Express your solidarity with the Tibetan people's struggle for independence.
Shimla is a beautiful European city with Indian charm, which has retained its British flavor. Strolling through the streets of the city, it feels like in Europe, however, with large numbers of Hindus around. As the former summer capital of British India, Shimla has a rather rare architectural heritage, surrounded by dense forests consisting of pine, Himalayan oak, blooming rhododendron and the legendary cedar.
Rishikesh is the capital of yoga. Rishikesh's "atmosphere" is a turning point in itself. There are a large number of enlightened people, sadhus, ashrams, and followers of all categories. Rishikesh attracts them with a magnet. The image is completed by sacred cows that can be caressed and fed, receiving a blessing. And this city is called the "Gateway to the Himalayas." And the experience of Rishikesh is cute and fabulous ...
Haridwar represents the diversity of Indian civilization. For devout Hindus it serves as a gateway to the dwelling place of the gods. The city has long been a monastery of sages, serving as a center for the development of art, science and culture.
Haridwar has no majestic temples, ancient forts or breathtaking palaces. The main attraction here is a dip in the fast and cool Ganges River to wash away your sins.
The main attraction of Haridwar is Ghat Hari Ki Pauri. Built in the 1st century BC it serves as the holiest place for bathing on religious days. The name of this famous Ghat literally means "Foot of the Lord". The footprint on the stone wall is said to belong to the god Vishnu.
Well, have we surprised you with the "non-trivial" list of Indian cities? But they will be able to reveal the soul of India to you. Travel with Extravaganza!
