Visit to Taj Mahal
India is a land with a rich and varied history. Many different rulers, dynasties, and empires have fought over and controlled different parts of the Indian subcontinent during its eventful history. The various rulers and dynasties left behind their legacy in the form of grand monuments and buildings, in different historical places in India. The Indian subcontinent's eventful history can be seen in its tourist places- from the first cities of the Indus Valley civilization to the modern cities of twenty first century India.Unity in diversity is another facet of the Country's inherent nationalism, which had been fused by the feeling of national fervour incited by various foreign invasions that ever made its way to the Indian shores. Religious tolerance and cultural amalgamation have given shape to a uniquely secular Nation, which has created an impressive status of itself in the global arena.
It is difficult to talk about the historical places of india as a whole and hence it is broadly and conviniently divided into five zones: northern india,southern india,western india ,eastern india and central india.Each part of india has influences and remains of the invasion and rule of different empires and the historical places in such regions are impressions of their rule.
North india:To name all the places of historical importance in whole of the northern region of india is an impossibility .The most important places in delhi the capital of india are the red fort,qutub minar,india gate,jewish synagogue,jama masjid and humayuns tomb.there is the world famous taj mahal situated in agra along with the agra fort.lucknow boasts of rich culture and has the imambaras and the confusing bhul bhullaya.rajasthan is a ver popular torist destination and has the hawa mahal and ajmer sharif and pushkar are the pilgriage places.punjab the most colourful state we have the golden temple in amritsar and the diwan khana and sheesh mahal.kashmir the paradise on earth is splendid and is

    It has been experienced that every step of movement towards economic, political and cultural modernization, taken by the state in India, is responded to by the people with an enhanced sense of self-consciousness and awareness of identity. Cultural modernization, sponsored by the forces of globalization, is resented if it encroaches upon or does not promote the core cultural values of society, its language, social practices and styles of life. The vigour of the renewed sense of self-awareness generated among the members of the local cultures and communities is such as to succeed in making adaptive reconciliation with the forces of globalization. The linkages both visible and invisible, defining the cultural interdependence among communities and regions in India which have existed historically, reinforce instead of threatening the national identity. These bonds seem to become stronger as India encounters the forces of modernization and globalization.…

    The continuity and vitality of Indian culture is amazing, indeed. Pandit Nehru once stood on a mound of Mohanjodaro in the Indus Valley in the north­west of India and all round him lay the houses and streets of this ancient city that is said to exist over five thousand years ago; and even then it was an old and well developed civilization. There seemed to him something unique about the continuity of a cultural tradition through five thousand years of history, of invasion and upheaval, a tradition which was wide spread among the masses and powerfully influenced them. "The Indus Valley civilization' writes Prof. Childe, 'represents a very perfect adjustment of human life to specific environment that can only have resulted form years of patient effort.…

    Jammu & Kashmir Travel Information -Srinagar is an ancient city and has many attractions that can attract even the most unwilling of tourists to this magical land. Dal Lake, Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashme Shahi are some of the best-known tourist spot in Srinagar. Jammu is the winter capital of the state and next in importance after Srinagar. Most of the tourists who come to the Jammu region have the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine as their destination, which is quite close by. However, the spirit of holiness permeates through the entire city, so much so that Jammu is also known as the ‘City of Temples’. If Bahu Mata is the presiding deity of Jammu, the dargah of Peer Budhan Ali Shah is the other shrine that is believed to protect the local people. The other major tourist attraction is the Raghunath Temple Complex, which is the largest temple in North India devoted to Lord Rama. The construction of this temple was begun by Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1851 and completed by his son Ranbir Singh six years later. The temple of Maha Kali (better known as Bahu or Bawey Wali Mata), located in the Bahu Fort, is considered second only to Mata Vaishno Devi in terms of mystical power. The temple was built shortly after the coronation of Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1822. Other temples in the city include the Gauri Kund Temple, Shudh Mahadev Temple, Shiva Temple, Peer Khoh Cave Temple, Ranbireshwar Temple, and the Parmandal Temple Complex.…
