Indian cultures - Sikhism , Hinduism , Jainism ,Buddhism all are based on the concept of dharma and karma.India is a secular country where each religion has the freedom to practice their cultures.so, today we will talk about Top 5 best destinations to visit in India with my personal experiences.

1. Jaipur

Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the largest state of India, Rajasthan. Jaipur is also known as pink city because of its dominant color of buildings. Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Rajput ruler who ruled from 1699 to 1743 , Jai singh || ,after whom the city is named as JAIPUR .Jaipur is the popular tourist destination in India and forms a west golden tourist circuit along with Delhi and Agra.

 

Jaipur's  plan was based on principle of vastu shastra and shilpa shastra The construction of the city began in 1726 and took four years to complete the major roads, offices, and palaces. The city was divided into nine blocks, two of which contained the state buildings and palaces, with the remaining seven allotted to the public. Huge ramparts were built, pierced by seven fortified gates.

Now , if we move on to the climate of Jaipur, it has a monsoon influenced hot semi arid climate with long, extremely hot summers and short, mild to warm winters. Annual precipitation is over 63 cm, falling mostly in July and August due to monsoon, causing the average temperatures in these two months to be lower compared to drier May and June. During the monsoon, there are frequent, heavy rains and thunderstorms, but flooding is not common. The highest temperature ever recorded was 48.5 °C, in May. The city's average temperature remains below 20 °C between December and February. These months are mild, dry and pleasant, sometimes chilly. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -2.2 °C. Jaipur, like many other major cities of the world, is a significant urban heat island zone with surrounding rural temperatures occasionally falling below freezing in winters.

The famous places to visit in Jaipur are:
  1.Amer fort-  Places to visit in India| Amer Fort or Amber Fort is a fort located in Amer , Rajasthan,India.Amer is a town with an area of 4 square kilometres located 11 kilometres from Jaipur, Rajasthan.The town of Amer and the Amber Fort were originally built by the Mairs and later it was ruled by Raja Man singh I. Located high on a hill, it is the principal tourist attraction in Jaipur. Amer Fort is known for its artistic style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Moata lake which is the main source of water for the Amer Palace.

Amer Palace is situated on a forested hill promontory that juts into Maota Lake near the town of Amer, about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from Jaipur city, the capital of Rajasthan. The palace is near National Highway 11C to Delhi.A narrow 4WD road leads up to the entrance gate, known as the Suraj Pol (Sun Gate) of the fort. It is now considered much more ethical for tourists to take jeep rides up to the fort, instead of riding the elephants.

2) City Palace:

City palace is also one of the most famous and best destination to spend your holidays or vacations.The City Palace, Jaipur was established at the same time as the city of Jaipur, by Maharaja sawai Jai singh II  , who moved his court to Jaipur from Amber, in 1727.


Jaipur is the present-day capital of the state of Rajasthan, and until 1949 the City Palace was the ceremonial and administrative seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur.

The City Palace is in the central-northeast part of the Jaipur city, which is laid in a unique pattern with wide avenues. It is a unique and special complex of several courtyards, buildings, pavilions, gardens, and temples. The most prominent and most visited structures in the complex are the Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple, and the City Palace Museum.

3) Hawa Mahal:

Another destination to spend your vacations with fun and enjoyment is Hawa mahal, a palace located in Jaipur which means( "The palace of winds" or " The palace of breeze). Made with the red and pink sandstone the palace sits on the edge of the city palace, Jaipur, and extends to the Zenana or women's chambers.
This palace was built in 1799 by Maharaja sawai pratap singh, the grandson of Maharaja sawai jai singh, the founder of Jaipur , the pink city.

4) Jantar mantar:
 The another stupendous site for unlimited fun is Jantar Mantar, a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments built by the Maratha Rajput king sawai jai singh II ,the founder of Jaipur,Rajasthan.
The name jantar is derived from yantra a Sanskrit word, meaning "instrument, machine", and mantar from mantrana also a Sanskrit word "consult, calculate"). Therefore, Jantar Mantar literally means 'calculating instrument'.

                              

The monument was completed in 1734. It features the world's largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located near City palace and Hawa Mahal. The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye.The observatory is an example of the Ptolemaic positional astronomy which was shared by many civilizations.

Agra is included in the golden triangle tourist circuit along with Delhi and Jaipur.

Agra features a semiarid climate that borders on a humid subtropical region. The city features mild winters, hot and dry summers and a monsoon season. However, the monsoons, though substantial in Agra, are not quite as heavy as the monsoon in other parts of India. This is a primary factor in Agra featuring a semiarid climate as opposed to a humid subtropical climate.

Top 4 places to visit in Agra:
 1) Taj Mahal:
The Taj mahal which is included in the seven wonders of the world is situated on the south bank of Yamuna river in the Indian city, Agra.

The imperial court documenting Shah Jahan's grief after the death of Mumtaz Mahal illustrates the love story held as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal.

2) Fatehpur Sikri:
Fatehpur Sikri is a town in the Agra District of Uttar Pradesh , India. The city itself was founded as the capital of Mughal Empire in 1571 by Emperor Akbar, serving this role from 1571 to 1585, when Akbar abandoned it due to a campaign in Punjab and was later completely abandoned in 1610.
Fatehpur Sikri sits on rocky ridge, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) in length and 1 km (0.62 mi) wide and palace city is surrounded by a 6 km (3.7 mi) wall on three sides with the fourth bordered by a lake. The city is generally organized around this 40 m high ridge, and falls roughly into the shape of a rhombus. The general layout of the ground structures, especially the "continuous and compact pattern of gardens and services and facilities" that characterized the city leads urban archaeologists to conclude that Fatehpur Sikri was built primarily to afford leisure and luxury to its famous residents.

India.
