Journeys of July 6: India

Heading a little north to India...there are quite a few sights to see here. And a lot of people.

I think the most famous landmark here is the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal.

The Ganges river is very famous and very sacred to the Hindus. The city of Varanasi is located on the edge of the river.

The India Gate is the national monument of India, like the Washington monument for the USA. It's located in the capital of India, New Delhi.

There are many forts that were preserved in India, but one of the most famous ones is the Red Fort, which is also in New Delhi.

And finally, coming down to southern India, we have the Adam's Bridge, known locally as Rama's Bridge. It used to be a land piece that connected the Indian mainland to Sri Lanka, but parts of it have gone underwater now.
