Body:
Delhi is known to have been continuously inhabited since 6th
century BC. Through most period of its history, Delhi has
served as a capital of kingdoms and empires. It has been
invaded, ransacked and rebuilt several times, particularly
during the Medieval era, and therefore today's city of Delhi is
a cluster of many capital cities scattered across the city's
dimensions. Delhi is also widely believed to


In 1639 AD, the Mughal emperor Shahjahan built a new
walled city in Delhi which served as a capital of the Mughal
Empire from 1649 until 1857. The British had captured Delhi by
1803 and George V announced in 1911 that the capital of
British controlled parts of India would be Delhi. So a new
capital city, New Delhi, was built to the south of the old city
during the 1920s. When India gained independence from
British rule in 1947, New Delhi was declared its capital and
seat of government.
Jaipur : Jaipur also popularly known as the 'Pink City', is the
capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. It
was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai
Singh II, the ruler of Amber, after whom the city has been
named. Jaipur is one of the finest planned cities of India,
located in the semi-desert lands of <a
href=“http://ajantatravelservices.com/incredible-rajasthan-
tour.html”>Rajasthan tour</a> The city which once had been
the capital of the royalty now is the capital city of Rajasthan.
The very structure of Jaipur resembles the taste of the Rajputs
and the Royal families.


The city is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the
width and regularity of its streets which are laid out into six
sectors separated by broad streets 34 m (111 ft) wide. The
urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded
streets. Five quarters wrap around the east, south, and west
sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter
immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses a
sprawling palace complex, (Hawa Mahal), formal gardens,
and a small lake. Nahargarh Fort, which was the residence of
the King Sawai Jai Singh II, crowns the hill in the northwest
corner of the old city. The observatory, Jantar Mantar, is one
of the World Heritage Sites. Included on the<a
href=“http://www.ajantatravelservices.com/golden-triangle-
tour.html”>Golden Triangle tour</a> tourist circuit. In 1876
Jaipur was colored in terracotta pink to welcome the Prince
of Wales, and thus the name “Pink City” was attached with
the city.


Agra the former capital of Hindustan, is a city on the banks of
the river Yamuna in the northernstate of Uttar Pradesh, The
city finds mention in the epic Mahābhārata where it was
called Agrevana, or 'the border of the forest'. Legend
ascribes the founding of the city to Raja Badal Singh, a
Sikarwar Rajput king , whose fort, Badalgarh, stood on or near
the site of the present Fort. However, the 11th century Persian
poet Mas'ūd Sa'd Salmān writes of a desperate assault on the
fortress of Agra, then held by the Shāhī King Jayapala, by
Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni. Sultan Sikandar lodī was the first to
move his capital fromDelhi to Agra in the year 1506; he died
in 1517 and his son Ibrāhīm Lodī remained in power there for
nine more years, finally being defeated at the Battle of
Panipat in 1526. It achieved fame as the capital of the
Mughal emperors from 1526 to 1658 and remains a major
tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era
buildings, most notably the Tāj Mahal, Agra Fort and
Fatehpūr Sikrī, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage
Sites.


Agra, which is the last stop on the Golden Triangle Tour is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well-known throughout
the world. Home to the best known symbol of everlasting
love, the Taj Mahal continues to astound hundreds of tourists
every day.
