The 42-meter-tall India Gate, which resembles the "Arc de Triomphe," is located in the midst of a crossroads in New Delhi. It honours the 70,000 Indian soldiers who died while serving in the British Army throughout World War I, almost identically to its French equivalent. More over 13,516 British and Indian soldiers who died in the Northwestern Frontier during the Afghan War of 1919 have their names inscribed on its wall. His Royal Majesty, the Duchy of Connaught, lay the cornerstone for the Edwin Lutyens-designed India Gate in 1921. 10 years afterwards, Lord Irwin, the regent at the time, presented the memorial to the country. Beside India Gate, you can see Param Yodha Sthal too. Amar Jawan Jyoti, some other monument, was added considerably later, after India gained independence. Underneath the arch, an everlasting light shines day and night to serve as a constant reminder to the men who lost their lives fighting in the Indo-Pakistan Conflict in December 1971. The whole arch...

I've sought to stabilize the historical spirit of Humayun's Tomb, one of Delhi's best tombs, in this blog. For Dilli wallahs as well as pilgrims and travelers visiting Delhi, the first-ever garden monument on the Indian Subcontinent is a must-see. Humayun's Tomb, also known as Humayun ka Maqbara (Maqbara-i Humayun), is among the most fascinating historical sites in Delhi.   For a reason, the magnificent colonial sandstone mausoleum is a photographer's dream. It's just like a painting. The tomb receives over two million visits each year and is still immaculately preserved.   The realization drew me closer to the city where I now reside. I investigated and comprehended the nature of the nation's capital.   I traveled to Humayun's Tomb one gorgeous morning in January to see the beautiful structure waking up the sky of the rising sun. I was completely taken aback by what I witnessed. Humayun's Tomb, a 16th-century geometric edifice, was one...

  The Enchanting Akshardham In New Delhi, the Akshardham mandir is the focal point of the Swaminarayan Akshardham complex. The mandir, which was inaugurated on November 6, 2005, is an attempt to provide God with a home that honors Him. Its artworks reflect transcendent Hindu religious messages, lively prayerful customs, and gorgeous vistas. The temple is a respectful homage to Lord Swaminarayan from 1781 to 1830, as well as Hinduism's incarnation, lords, and great shamans.

At the bank of the river Yamuna and in the lap of Agra there is the best example of love. It is a shining monument made up of white marble which was prepared in the memory of Mughal queen Mumtaz Mahal with the order of her husband Shah Jahan after her death. Yes, I am talking about the Taj Mahal. It is being said that the Taj Mahal is built on the dead body of Mumtaj Mahal.   When we go inside the Taj Mahal, In the middle of this Mahal, we see two tombs.

In complete work of the construction and modification, ar...

On 26 th January 1950 independent India became republic. In presiding of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar the constitution of India was applied. Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India. And a grand building built on Delhi’s Raysina hill was named as President House of India. It was built for the purpose of expansion in the imperialist power. But, it was written in its fate to become the part of world’s largest democracy. In New Delhi, on Raysina hills it is expanded in 300ekad. In many point of views it is defined as one of the world’s famous buildings.  Today, it is not only the official residence of the President of world’s largest Republic but it is the largest house of any President in the world.

India is the fastest developing country. It has 29 states and 7 union territories. But, here I am not talking about entire country. My focus is only on two important states of India 'Bihar' and 'Telangana'. Both states have its own value and both have importance at its place separately. But the question arises that how Telangana is different from Bihar. For knowing the answer of this question it is compulsory to know both states separately. So, I will discuss about it one by one. Bihar- Bihar is one of the worst state of India because of its poor background and bad history. Bihar is the place from where Mahatma Gandhi started his freedom fight named ‘Satyagraha’. When there was British rule in India then all freedom fighters from different part of country were struggling regarding this. And, at last British people were ready to free India from their Jurisdiction. But, in place of that there was demand for the division of country into two parts “Hindustan” and “Pakista...

The Rise of Bihar Bihar is well known as the fastest developing state of India. It has a bad history after the independence of India. Bihar is the place from where Mahatma Gandhi started his freedom fight named ‘Satyagraha’. When there was British rule in India then all freedom fighters from different parts of the country were struggling regarding this. And, at last, the British people were ready to free India from their Jurisdiction. But, in place of that, there was a demand for the division of the country into two parts “Hindustan” and “Pakistan”. British people were about to leave after acceptance of this demand of division. At that time, there was a kind of monkey share condition in the entire country. British rulers were distributing different ranks and positions to Indian people. Most people were gifted with many lands, places, and spaces from the British government at a low rate. Having which Indians were feeling like rich and more powerful to themselves. It was more eff...
