1. MY TRIP TO INDIA
Нефидов Демьян 8 класс

2. India is a country of contrasts
 I was in India three times
 Twice I was in Goa.
 Goa is one of the states in India
 and a beach resort.
 But this place is not the real India.The third
time I travelled to the Golden triangle
(Delhi,Jaipur, Agra)
 and then I visited a small village Kadjurahi
 and Varanasi.

3. About India
 India is a multicultural
country with own ancient
culture.The official
languages are Hindi and
English but in India is
actually 21 state
languages​​, and even
more. Official religion is
pagan Hinduism. India's
population is
1,220,800,359

4. Culture and Religion
Official religion is pagan Hinduism. It has around
300 million gods. But a huge number of gods can
identify about 13 well-known and most revered gods is
Rama, the elephant-headed half-man Gonesh (god of
wisdom), Krishna (God breadwinner and fertility),
four-faced Brahma, Surya (the sun god), Durga, Shiva
and etc.
This list the main gods and creators of humanity
considered Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. Another
feature of the Indian culture are castes.
In modern India caste is almost forgotten,But before
the English colonization of India caste had a very
important role in the life of the country Share caste
something like this:
the Brahmans(elite,scientists and
priests),Stariy(warriors), Vaishyas(traders and
artisans), Shudras(attendance) and the lowest caste is
untouchables.
They can not go to the hospital and other public
places. Live in the darkest corners of any city and do
all the dirty work.

5. Delhi is the capital of India
 The first two days I spent in New Delhi, the
capital of India. City is not very interesting. No
has its own characteristics.
 First we visited the huge LotusTemple. Lotus
Temple looks from the outside like a lotus flower.
The church preached one of the young-Bahaism
religions.This religion preaches the one God who
has no substance.
 Then we visited the minaret of Qutab Minar.
Once it was a huge Mughal palace , but now
there is solid ruiny. On top the entrance was
closed because of a fact that many people have
used this place for suicide. Also we saw a group
of the presidential palace, the arch of victory and
how to call it alley embassies. A very interesting
fact in Indian cities have no concept of "street"
and "square". I never learned how to share places
in India and then we went on the bus to Jaipur.
 There is one very big remark, especially in the
cities near the roads are very very noisy, you can
not walk normally.

6. Djaipur
The next day we went to the fort
Amber.Fort was also one of the Sultan 's
palace . Fort stands on a very high hill , so
we got up to the fort on elephant and jeep .
We examined in detail the
palace, lounges, area , altars and so on.
Then we went to the city center which is
called the " pink city " . . In 1876 the Prince
of Wales visited Djaipur (the future King
Edward theVII). He loved the pink colour .
And the decided to paint the town pink.
Before leaving Djaipur, we visited the
temple Gataji.The temple consists of thre
swimming pools, the main god of this
temple is the god of the sun and Hanuman
(monkey god).This place is teeming with
small monkeys. In India, monkeys are
considered sacred, and killing monkeys
punishable as killing a person.

7. Agra
 After we waited Agra.No Jaipur on the way we
visited the semi-ghost town. City called Fatehpur,
once it was the capital, but now it's a small town.
The city is famous for its large palace in which he
lived himself Emperor Akbar the Great. Sultan
notorious that he conquered the whole of India
and established the Mughal Empire. The palace is
quite large, managed to explore grief, winter and
summer pavilions, rest rooms, sanctuary. Then
we visited the tomb of the Prophet Salim
Changsha. He famously predicted that Akbar
 Arriving in Agra , we visited the tomb of Akbar
and then went to see the Taj Mahal. It is a popular
symbol of India and is also considered a mosque
and tomb. This marble marvel built Shah Jahan to
his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. She was the wife
of the 14th , but the Shah loved her more than
others, and when she died in childbirth ,
distraught Jahan ordered the construction of the
mausoleum. The complex is surrounded by a wall
with a large gate. Courtyard of a huge garden
with a large fountain itself mausoleum is located
by the river. It is surrounded by four minarets and
next are two mosques . The mausoleum was built
exactly 22. Then we visited the huge red fort.
Officially, this is a military base , but there are
places for tourists. It was there that spent all the
remaining

8. Varanasi
 Arriving inVarens, bringing as baggages we went to
"Buddhist Mecca". Place called Sarnath. It attracts
Buddhist pilgrims from all over the world.Village
consists of two zones the new and old. New we were
not able to visit.The only thing that I've seen is a huge
statue of Buddha. And here we have the old part with a
group of very well reviewed. Once there was a huge
temple, but it was destroyed by the Mughal Islamists
and now there remains solid. So the only thing left is a
huge round tower Dhamek. It should go around and
meditate.Then toured the city by bus.Varens himself
terribly dirty, cramped, poor and noisy city.The center
consists of buildings in the period of British
colonization. Bicycle taxi in the evening we reached the
banks of the holy river Ganges. On reaching the
river, was surprisingly large crowd. It turns out there
was a religious festival in honor of Lord Krishna, as it is
on the Ganges Krishna was born. It was close
teotralnym be primarily performance. By the smell was
everywhere celebratory meal.Then in the morning we
distributed on hotels.At 4:00 am, we went on foot to
the river and take a boat ride on the Ganges.The sky
was clear and the dawn of a "Indian". Then traveled by
bus to the airport and first flew back to Delhi and then
waiting a few hours of the terminal, I with Mom and
Dad flew to Moscow.This concludes our journey
through India ends.
