TRIP AT A GLANCE
DELHI With a history as a capital, Delhi has seen the tides of several rulers from those people
from the pages of the epic poem Mahabharata to the Tughlaq and Mughal empires from Persia to
the imperial colonial armies to the present-day government. Looted, plundered and resurrected
over the years, Delhi emerges from the ashes of her past as a global capital – politically, culturally
and commercially. TWO NIGHTS
AGRA Agra served as capital for the Mughal Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries and
flourished as a center of art, drawing and inspiration for the Persian, Islamic, Turkish, Byzantine and
Indian styles. It has been immortalized by theTaj Mahal, a magnificent marble mausoleum that
epitomizes love, but Agra has so many more monuments that tell a rich narrative of the tides and
times of Man. ONE NIGHT
JAIPUR Erected during the 18th Century by the ruler of Amer as a ‘city of victory,’ Jaipur was north India’s
first planned city. Jaipur is often known as the ‘pink city’; the city is a beautiful symphony of the past with
the present, well expressed in the planned, gridded network of streets juxtaposed with a bustling maze of
by-lanes and bazaars, in which the traditional artisanal crafts offset the contemporary arts. TWO NIGHTS
