Shimla

Lovers die, but love shall not and death shall have no dominion...

In the year 1607 when a prince of the royal Mughal household strolled down the Meena Bazaar, accompanied by a string of fawning courtiers, he caught a glimpse of a girl hawking silk and glass beads. Five years and a wife later (in those days princes did not marry for love alone) the regal 20-yr-old went to wed his 19-yr-old bride. It was a fairytale union from the start, one that withstood court intrigues, battles for succession and finally, the grand coronation. And when she died on the 19th year of their marriage, he etched her story in stone. The Taj Mahal is the living symbol of the monumental passion of Shah Jahan and Arjumand Banu. Which other love story has so grand a memorial?Agra, The Chosen City for Taj MahalAgra was the chosen city of the Mughal emperors during the early years. It was here that the founder of the dynasty, Babur, laid out the first formal Persian garden on the banks of the River Yamuna. Here, Akbar, his grandson, raised the towering ramparts of the great Red Fort. Within its walls, Jehangir built rose-red palaces, courts and gardens. Shahjahan embellished it with marbled mosques, palaces and pavillions of gem-inlaid white marble. Agra is globally renown as the city of the Taj Mahal, a monument of love and imagination, that represents India to the world. History of Taj Mahal IndiaThe origin of the name the "Taj Mahal" is not clear. Court histories from Shah Jehan's reign only call it the rauza (tomb) of Mumtaz Mahal. It is generally believed that "Taj Mahal" (usually translated as either "Crown Palace" or "Crown of the Palace") is an abbreviated version of her name, Mumtaz Mahal (Exalted One of the Palace).The Taj Mahal is a deserving resting palace for an Emperor's Empress. It stands on the banks of the river Yamuna, which otherwise serves as a wide moat defending the Great Red Fort of Agra, the center of the Mughal emperors until they moved their capital to Delhi in 1637. It was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while accompanying her husband in Burhanpur in a campaign to crush a rebellion after giving birth to their 14th child.
MUMTAZ MAHAL - "Build me a Taj"As Mumtaz Mahal lay dying, she asked four promises from the emperor: first, that he build the Taj; second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand people were deployed to work on it. The principal architect was the Iranian architect Istad Usa; it is possible that the pietra dura work was coordinated by an Italian artist. TAJ MAHAL - Wonder of the WorldTo people the world over, the Taj Mahal, mausoleum of Mughal Emperor shah Jana's chief wife, Mumtaz Mahal, is synonymous with India. Its curving, gently swelling dome and the square base upon which its rests so lightly is a familiar image from hundreds of brochures and travel books. The Taj is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular buildings of the world. Renowned for its architectural magnificence and aesthetic beauty, it counts among man's proudest creations and is invariably included in the list of the world's foremost wonders. As a tomb, it has no match upon earth, for mortal remains have never been housed in greater grandeur.

Shimla-really beautiful

Originally called Simla, is a city in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is also the capital of the state and a municipal corporation within the Shimla district. In 1864, Shimla was declared the summer capital of the erstwhile British Raj in India. A popular tourist destination, Shimla is often referred to as the "Queen of Hills" (a term coined by the British). Located in north-west Himalayas at an altitude of 2,130 metres (6,988 ft), the city of Shimla, draped in forests of pine, rhododendron, and oak, experiences pleasant summers and cold, snowy winters. The city is famous for its buildings styled in tudorbethan and neo-gothic architecture reminiscent of the colonial era. Shimla is connected to the city of Kalka by one of the longest narrow gauge railway routes in India. Shimla is approximately 115 km (71.4 miles) from Chandigarh, the nearest major city, and 365 km (226.8 miles) from New Delhi, the national capital. The city is named after the goddess Shyamala Devi, an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Kali.

My visit to India

My visit to India has open up my eyes.I thought Bangladesh has nothing to show to the world. But visiting India I have realized that Bangladesh has many things to show to the World.The archeological assets of the country are not getting the kind of support it deserves to attract tourists.Indians are capitalizing their resouces to attract tourists from allover the world and earning valuable Foreign Exchanges.

I have seen Lal Killa (Red Fort) of Delhi. May be our Lal Killa at Lalbagh is not that big but its architecture is worth mentioning.

Except few Indian Food did not suit our palate.We were in search of Bangali dishes.But except in Delhi we did not find a Bangali Hotel or Restaurant. Later we came to know that there is a restaurant in Agra which serves Bangali dishes.

To me Dhaka is the king of different food. Nothing from around the globe can match Dhaka's great Kachchi Byriani.Here you can have foods of any taste. From Indian Mughlay, South Indian to Bangali Bharta, Continental and Oriental.

The problem with Bangladesh is transportation and availability of quality hotels and guest house to live.We do not have prepaid taxi services which is essential to save the foreigners from loosing money by cheating.Our train services should be upgraded.Because nothing can match train journey. Its comfortable

Enough advertisement and propaganda should be launched.Before that the neglected assets of archeological importance and value should be properly taken care of.

Which disturbed us the most while travelling to India was the brockers of the hotels and tour planners, who will try their best to bow to their suggestion. I would advise all who are planning to visit Indial not to listen these people. They are fraud. At different railway stations and tourist spot the Indian authorities are cautioning the travellers against these cheats and frauds. But they are operating in front of their nose.
