Taj Mahal is declared as one of the 7 Wonders of the world. Located on the banks of river Yamuna, this ivory-white marble mausoleum was built by Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz. It is a monument of true love as the imperial court depicts the grief of Shah Jahan over Mumtaz’s death. Mumtaz was Shah Jahan’s most beloved wife out of 11 and she died delivering her 14th child. As per the last wish of Mumtaz, Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to signify their eternal love.

Red fort is one of the famous monuments of India whose enormous size, aesthetic proportions and style, all represent an age of unrestrained opulence. It was also built by Shah Jahan and took over 10 years to complete. This fort used to be white as it was originally made with limestone but it started peeling off under the British rule and hence they painted it red.

Qutub Minar was built to depict the first Muslim kingdom in northern India.

India Gate is a 42-metre tall war memorial built to pay tribute to the soldiers of the British Indian Army who died during World War I. There are beautiful lawns surrounding the monument and a splendid light show at the fountains. You should visit on the Republic Day as there is a parade there every year.

Day 3

Hawa Mahal is considered to be one of the tallest buildings in the world without any foundation. Despite being curved, it still stands firm due to its pyramidal shape. This monument is known for the intricate lattice work on all of its 953 tiny windows. At first glance, it looks like a crown, which is a sight to behold.

The Hawa Mahal is a palace in the city of Jaipur, India. Built from red and pink sandstone, the palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur and extends to the Zenana, or women's chambers.

The structure was built in 1799 by the Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, who was the founder of the city of Jaipur, India. He was so inspired by the unique structure the of Khetri Mahal that he built this grand and historical palace.

It was designed by Lal Chand Ustad. Its five-floor exterior is akin to a honeycomb with its 953 small windows called Jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework. The original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen, since they had to obey the strict rules of "purdah", which forbade them to appear in public without face coverings. This architectural feature also allowed cool air from the Venturi effect to pass through, thus making the whole area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer. Many people see the Hawa Mahal from the street view and think it is the front of the palace, but it is the back.

In 2006, renovation works on the Mahal were undertaken, after a gap of 50 years, to give a facelift to the monument at an estimated cost of Rs 4.568 million. The corporate sector lent a hand to preserve the historical monuments of Jaipur and the Unit Trust of India has adopted Hawa Mahal to maintain it. The palace is an extended part of a huge complex. The stone-carved screens, small casements, and arched roofs are some of the features of this popular tourist spot. The monument also has delicately modelled hanging cornices.

Amer Fort is one of the top historical places in India. It is built with both red and white sandstone and the carvings on the ceiling and the walls are simply marvelous. The best part of the Amer Fort is the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) that has mirror mosaics and colored glasses.

Chittorgarh is city where chittorgarh fort is situated & it is said that Bheem, one of the pandavas brother built the fort. Now you can imagine that how much importance this fort has. The Fort, which is perched on a 180 meter high hill, covers an area of 700 acres. It is the the largest fort in India.

This beautiful fort was ruined three times. First when Allauddin Khilji deafeted Raja Ratan Singh, second when Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat defeated Bikramjeet Singh and third when Emperor Akbar defeated Maharana Udai Singh II. One more thing Jauhar (mass sati) was also performed here and that too three times.That is why, Chittorgarh Fort is called " A destroyed beauty ".

The Chittorgarh Fort also known as Chittorgarh or Chittor Fort is one of the largest forts in India . It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The fort was the capital of Mewar and is located in the present-day town of Chittorgarh . It sprawls over a hill 180 m (590.6 ft) in height spread over an area of 280 ha (691.9 acres) above the plains of the valley drained by the Berach River. The fort covers 65 historic structures, which include four palaces, 19 large temples, 20 large water bodies, 4 memorials and a few victory towers.

It is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs .Pushkar has many temples. Most of the temples and ghats in Pushkar are from the 18th century and later, because many temples were destroyed during Muslim conquests in the area.

Subsequently, the destroyed temples were rebuilt. The most famous among Pushkar temples is the red spired Brahma Ji Temple. It is considered a sacred city by the Hindus particularly in Shaktism , and meat and eggs consumption are forbidden in the city.

Pushkar is located on the shore of Pushkar Lake, which has many ghats where pilgrims bathe.Pushkar is also significant for its Gurdwaras for Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh . One of the bathing ghats is called Gobind ghat built by the Sikhs in the memory of Guru Gobind Singh.

Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a palace in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. The palace was originally constructed in 1699; the building and the lake around it were later renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber.

The Jal Mahal palace is an architectural showcase of the Rajput style of architecture (common in Rajasthan) on a grand scale, on Rajput architecture. The building has a picturesque view of Man Sagar Lake, but owing to its seclusion from land is equally the focus of a viewpoint from the Man Sagar Dam on the eastern side of the lake in front of the backdrop of the surrounding Nahargarh ("tiger-abode") hills. The palace, built in red sandstone, is a five-storied building, of which four floors remain underwater when the lake is full and the top floor is exposed[citation needed]. One rectangular Chhatri on the roof is of the Bengal type. The chhatris on the four corners are octagonal. The palace had suffered subsidence in the past and also partial seepage (plaster work and wall damage equivalent to rising damp) because of water logging, which have been repaired under a restoration project of the Government of Rajasthan.

The hills surrounding the lake area, towards the north east of Jaipur, have quartzite rock formations (with a thin layer of soil cover), which is part of the Aravalli hills range. Rock exposures on the surface in some parts of the project area have also been used for constructing buildings. From the northeast, the Kanak Vrindavan valley, where a temple complex sits, the hills slope gently towards the lake edge.

Within the lake area, the ground area is made up of a thick mantle of soil, blown sand, and alluvium. Forest denudation, particularly in the hilly areas, has caused soil erosion, compounded by wind and water action. As a result, silt built up in the lake incrementally raises the lake bed.[3] On the terrace of the palace, a garden was built with arched passages. At each corner of this palace semi-octagonal towers were built with an elegant cupola.

The restoration works of the early 2000s were not satisfactory and an expert in the field of similar architectural restoration works of Rajasthan palaces carefully examined the designs that could decipher the originally existing designs on the walls, after removing the recent plasterwork. Based on this finding, restoration works were re-done with traditional materials for plastering – the plaster consists of partly organic material: a mortar mix of lime, sand and surkhi mixed with jaggery, guggal and methi powder. It was also noticed that there was hardly any water seepage, except for a little dampness, on the floors below the water level. But the original garden, which existed on the terrace had been lost. Now, a new terrace is being created based on a similar roof garden of the Amer Palace. The building is located near the shoreline of a lake with a maximum depth of 15 ft. As the 4 stories of the building are built under the water, this means it would be structured on the bottom of the lake.
