Delhi is just not a city but it is a book-- a book which narrates the history
of India. The city was built and destroyed seven times and has been witness
to the various events which has brought India through the history books. Seven
times this city went through the pain of being built and rebuilt.
Today as the capital of India Delhi is the seat of administration and the
monuments which tell the saga of a bygone era stand there. These icons are
testimony to the grandeur of past and also an attraction for the tourists.
With an area of 1483 sq. Kms, Delhi is all set to acquire full statehood.
The charm of Delhi has attracted Emperors, Conquerors and poor in equally.
It is correctly said that Delhi is a land of 'Dilwalas' or for people with
heart. This phrase acquires a true colour when one goes around the lanes of
Delhi.

Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, is popularly known as the ' Pink
City ' because of the pink-coloured buildings in its old city. It sits on
a dry lake bed in a somewhat arid landscape, surrounded by barren hills surmounted
by forts and crenellated walls. This buzzing metropolis is certainly a place
of wild contrasts and a feast for the eyes. All through, Jaipur has retained
its strong Rajputana flavour tempered by several influences - the mughal being
the most prominent. The region's strong cultural heritage is distinctly evident
even today. The city is a visitor's delight. From the intricate, delicate
looking Hawa Mahal to the graphic forms of the Jantar Mantar - an open air
observatory of outsized astronomical instruments, the Badi Chaupar lined with
shopsand business establishments on both sides to the majestic fort-palace
at Amber; from the colorful fountains of life to the sublime Birla Temple;
from the architectural delight of the City Palace to the serene Jal Mahal.

who came from all over Asia to join in this great work from Baghdad, Shiraz,
Delhi, Samarkand and Turkey. The marble, India s finest; was quarried at Makrana

Tibet, Lapis from Afghanistan and Ceylon, Chrysolite from Egypt, Amethyst

Day 06 : Orchha - Khajuraho
In earil morning we drive to Khajuraho. Later sightseeing tour of Khajuraho.
Khajuraho, once the great capital of Chandela, now a quiet town, Khajuraho
temples here were built during the Chandela period from 950 to 1050 AD. Almost
intriguing as the sheet beauty and the size of the temples is the question
of why and how they were built here as Khajuraho is isolated, 1000 years ago
as it is even today. The temples are superb examples of Indo-Aryan architecture
and depict images of gods and goddesses, warriors and musicians, real and
mythological animals and in great detail - women and sex. Overnight will be
at hotel.
Khajuraho, once the great Chandela capital, is today a village of about a
few thousand people in the interiors of central India, in Chhatarpur district
of Madhya Pradesh. Tradition records the existence of eighty five temples,
of which only twenty five, strewn amidst lakes and fields, have survived.
The temples at Khajuraho, brilliant examples of medieval Indian architecture,
were built under later Chandela kings between AD 950 and AD 1050. Each ancient
structure in India has a fascinating story to tell. But few match the temples
of Khajuraho.

God Shiva, Bharat Mata Temple, Durga Temple, Tulsi Manas Mandir and Banaras
Hindu University.
The land of Varanasi (Kashi) has been the ultimate pilgrimage spot for Hindus
for ages. Often referred to as Benares, Varanasi is the oldest living city
in the world. These few lines by Mark Twain say it all: "Benaras is older
than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice
as old as all of them put together". Hindus believe that one who is graced
to die on the land of Varanasi would attain salvation and freedom from the
cycle of birth and re-birth. Abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the origins
of Varanasi are yet unknown. Ganges in Varanasi is believed to have the power
to wash away the sins of mortals.

water's edge, bathing, worshipping and meditating. On stone platforms under
palm leaf umbrellas, the Pandas-Brahmin priests preside over rites and rituals.

every pious Hindu believes that to die in Kashi (Varanasi)and to be cremated
