| Delhi |
Delhi, the political capital of India, has an exuberant
collection of cultural heritage bearing testimonies to
the reign of different dynasties, both Hindus and Muslims;
their struggle for power and authority and terrible wars
and revolts faced by the city over the pages of history,
dating back to as late as the era of great Hindu epic
‘Mahabharata’. Also identified as ‘Indraprastha’,
the city was once the capital of Pandavas.
The city also bears sophisticated trails of a long British
rule with its well-planned and aristocratic structures,
including the palatial complex of Rashtrapati Bhawan and
India Gate adorning the city with their majestic and patriotic
value. |

| Agra |
The history of Agra is older than the era of Mughals,
dating back to the great Hindu epic ‘Mahabharat’,
when the city was called ‘Agrabana’ and constituted
a vast forest area forming an integral part of the Brij
Bhumi or the pious Land of Lord Krishna.
Better known as home to the splendid Taj Mahal, Agra tops
as the most sought after tourist destinations of India
on the international map. The place is affluent in cultural
heritages left behind by the Mughals, who ruled the place
from 1526 to 1628. Agra was the capital city of Lodi Kingdom
until the first Mughal Emperor, Babur, defeated him.
