India is yet another destination filled with loads of culture, beautiful architecture, and incredible landscapes. Something known as the "golden triangle" is a tourist circuit that connects three of India's biggest tourist destinations, which include Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. The country's capital of New Delhi is home to the nations three branches of government, as well as an abundance of historical sites and museums.


One of the largest museums that you can visit in India is the National Museum. This museum exhibits over 200,000 works of art, from both Indian and foreign origin, that spans over 5.,000 years. With all of the culture and history that India's National Museum has to offer, it makes for a perfect attraction for tourists to learn more about the country.


One of the most well-known pieces of architecture is the Taj Mahal, located in Agra, India. The Taj Mahal is a breathtaking mausoleum built by Shah Jahan, a Mogul emperor, as both a tribute and tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The structure is made of ivory-white marble and consists of a multitude of minarets and protective barriers that surround the building.


The last city that will complete our golden triangle circuit is Jaipur. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, India, which is about 160 miles away from the national capital of New Delhi. One of the main attractions in Jaipur is the Hawa Mahal, otherwise known as "The Palace of Winds". The structure was built in 1799 out of red and pink sandstone by Pratap Singh. The palace is five stories tall and is just one of the many magnificent architectural masterpieces that India has to offer.
