hello, I am Usha. I am very eager about tour and travel and also in gathering information about those places. I always suggest the people travel in those places who are interested in visiting.

1. TOUR AND TRAVEL
Introduction – Tour and travelling always create excitement
and joy in heart of every people. It helps to rejoice in our
body and help to imagine various colors in our life. To see
different places, culture, people their living styles helps to
think as a different world. Some people goes to see the
whole world, Europe, America, Africa etc. But people from
all over the world always eager to see the culture, tradition
and historical places of India, because there is no
comparison of Indian culture in all over the world. I also
decided to take a vacant from my routine life and decided to
see some historical place in India. Finally I decided to see
various historical places of Delhi. After all Delhi is capital of
India and evidence of various invade and historical
buildings made by different dynasties of India in different
era of India.

2. DELHI-The capital of India
Delhi is the Capital of India . If we look back to Indian History in
Mahabharat era Delhi was known as Indraprastha that
established by Pandavas. Even after it many famous Indian
dynasty made Delhi to their capital. Prithviraj Chauhan, Hemu ,
and all Mughal emperors and many more. The reason was that
this region was suitable to control whole nation from here. That’s
why in modern history we will found that Kolkata was the capital
earlier during British empire. But after that it’s shifted to Delhi.
Finally it is our capital and a metro city as well. The economy of
Delhi is also rich. All the Government offices, Govt. Ministries
are situated in Delhi. Even our Prime Minister and President of
India lives in Delhi. Constitutional assembly is also situated in
Delhi. Supreme Court of India is also in Delhi.

3. There are so many ways to reach Delhi. Anybody can reach
Delhi by bus, train, by air, taxi etc. I decided to go by bus as I
have fond to see on the way scenes of various locations. Delhi is
250 KM Approx from Chandigarh. I took a bus from sector 17
and my journey started. On the ways while travelling to Delhi I
saw many places like Krukshetra where Great battle of
Mahabharata fought. Then I saw Panipat where most of the
historical wars of India fought. After 5 hours journey finally I
reached to Maharana Pratap Bus Stand at Kashmiri Gate. There
I took a rest for 30 Minutes and then I hired a cab to see first
historical place.

completed by his son in law –

visit to see Qutub Minar as well.

9. Lotus temple is in Kalkaji New Delhi.
In 1986 this temple was built. The
temple is made of white and red
stones. It shapes in lotus that’s why
it called Lotus temple. This is also a

in the temple one time. This Temple
is based as per Bahai religion. And
according to Bahai all the religions
are same so any religion people can

seeing all the decided places I found my decision perfect to see
Delhi and near about areas. The ancient buildings Red fort,
Kutubminar, Jantar – Mantar, India Gate, Lotus temple,
