7 Spots to Discover the Architectural Beauty of India
Fatehpur Sikri, Agra
Not far from the iconic Taj Mahal lies Fatehpur Sikri. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built in the 16th century and was the abode of King Akbar. This is a neat and beautiful red sandstone building, built in a mix of Hindu and Mughal style, just like its emperor, which appears surprisingly well preserved even after 5 centuries. The Buland Darwaza, built in Mughal style here, which is one of the highest entrance gates in the world is truly magnificent and leads to the famous Jama Masjid of Agra and dargah of the Sufi Saint Chisti.
Qutub Minar, Delhi
Qutub Minar is to Delhi, what Taj Mahal is to India. It is a gigantic 5-storey red sandstone minaret built in the 12th century. This 72.5 metres high tower is one of the world’s tallest stone minarets. The Minar has inscriptions in Arabic and Dev Nagari scripts, all over it. This is a truly architectural marvel as one is left wondering how such a tall structure was constructed without the help of machines, 1000 years back. Worth mention is another smaller minarette in the vicinity, which is built with a metal and has not rusted even after braving centuries of sun and rain. This global icon is included in our Golden Triangle Tours and Luxury Tours in India starting from Delhi. It’s time you book one and enjoy gazing at this masterpiece with naked eyes.
Lotus Temple, Delhi
Lotus Temple is an important tourist landmark in New Delhi. This uniquely beautiful temple is built in the shape of a pristine marble lotus. The 27 petalled lotus surrounded by nine pools of water is truly spectacular, This Temple of Baha’i faith was bult in 1986. The visitors here are expected to bear complete silence and one feels a sense of peace and deep bliss inside the temple.
Victoria Memorial, Kolkata
This huge early 20th century monument is a major tourist attraction of Kolkata. A blend of British and Mughal architecture, built with white marble, this imposing structure has a 184 feet high dome over the statue of British Queen Victoria. This beauty, which can really be termed the Taj Mahal of the East, is a relic of the British rule in India and is a museum of British and Indian art. Surrounded by lush green lawns and pools of water, it is no less than a jewel crown.
Pamban Bridge, Rameswaram
This 100-year old Railway bridge is an architectural marvel. Measuring 2.2 Kms, it is the longest Railway Bridge of India and runs over the Bay of Bengal, connecting the mainland to Rameswaram Island. The sight of the bridge folding and giving way to passing ships, is a unique experience. Visitors simply love to experience the view of the vast sky meeting the ocean, with sea breeze flowing around.
Mehrangarh Fort, Rajasthan
This imposing 15th century fort sits atop a 400 ft high hilltop, overlooking the city of Jodhpur. It is a massive, multi-storey sandstone structure, built in the typical Rajputana style of architecture. Its masculine essence is punctuated by delicate stone lattice work, mirror work and many beautiful accents. The fort is now a museum, where that’s now a museum, where weapons, paintings and elaborate royal furniture is displayed. This magnetic spot is a tourist favourite among tourists on a trip to Rajasthan.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai
Previously known as the Victoria Terminus, this is a blend of Gothic, Victorian and Indian architecture in the country. It was designed by British architect Frederick William Stevens and was completed in 1887. While it is a wonder from the outside, there is stunning and intricate stone and woodwork, stained glass windows, and a large central dome on the inside.
