Here you will see people of all religions and no force on anyone. Being the capital of India, many people live there without any problem.


So today we are in Delhi which is one of the most famous cities around India. Let's begin.


Red Fort:


Today, my friend and I are going to Red Fort. We three friends traveled from the metro and reached Chandni Chowk where on the front we saw the Red Fort.


The fort was visible from here. It is a historical place in Delhi where every year the Prime Minister of India came on the 15th of August for waving the flag and every year all the country people watch on television too and feel because of the history of the fort.


It was built by the Mughals emperor in the 16th century and made by Shah Jahan It takes about 10 years to build. In 1648 the fort was ready. We looked on the Internet before coming. It was built of white limestone.


After many years it started breaking So give it a red color and from then on it was renamed Red Fort. So let's go into it. All of us had taken tickets and were on our way. Going further we saw a big gate.


There are small walls around the outside of the fort which are designed to stop enemies from a distance and also keep people away from distant fort walls.


It's a bit of a long walk here From Delhi Gate to Lahore Gate. Our Sweat was released while walking Because it is very hot here, the atmosphere of Delhi is hot.


We reached the place where the Prime Minister was on 15th August waving the flag and the speech is made apart from us, many tourists have come here.


There were also many tourists who came from far different countries. Taking pictures of each other. Some people were even seen making TikTok here.


This monument was presenting a very beautiful view from the front of Chandni Chowk just opposite the area of the red fort. There is quite a lot to come here like Metro Taxi.


As I told you, Chandni Chowk is right in front where you can shop from low price to high price. If you are coming to the fort then you can also visit Chandni Chowk market.


There was a big crowd here. We move inside the fort with a gate also known as Lahore Gate because Lahore is in front of him but now he is in Pakistan, earlier he was in India. At the entrance. It was written on a board that kept a distance of six feet between each other.


The people stand at the entry door. When we entered, people were taking pictures coming inside an open space here. Right in front of us were the steps where the flag is hoisted. It looks like a palace from the inside. And going inside, we got to see many shops here in a very big place which is perfect. Most people did not think about it.


You can buy all kinds of things from this market. Here all the people who came here are shopping from here. It was nine o'clock. There is a shop for shoes and various things. We bought some gifts for our family. Now we have come out and we just saw the markets. It is also called a covered market.


There are many palaces and next to it was a huge open field in front where there was a very beautiful grassy area and where we got to see Naubat Khana Museum. The Seats are also provided to you at this place.


Going a little further we found an empty space where the guests were seated in emperor time which is made of white marble. If you are visiting here around three to four hours as the place is crowded and long enough it will take.


After wandering around for about four to five hours, we headed towards our home over here. Then we started feeling very hungry and we ate at a nearby restaurant.


Humayun Tomb:


Humayun Tomb is also a very historical place in Delhi which was built by Akbar in 1560 and it is also heard that around 150 People of the Mughal family are buried here. So you guys can think how wonderful and historical this is for the Mughal Emperors.


When I entered, there was a big map in front of us. It had all the detailed information about the place. So we entered from the West gate. A small structure of the entire complex inside was placed. We knew which place we had to visit.


A little further, when we came across we saw some other things here but the old books were also kept. When we came out of this place. We could see a Tomb in front of us.


It looked very beautiful. First I saw it looked like a copy of the Taj Mahal. it was built before the Taj Mahal it would be better to say that the Taj Mahal looks like that.


It was written on a plaque here. This tomb was made by Humayun's wife Hamida Bano. It has Green trees and a grassy garden. The clouds are thundering here.


The cold wind is blowing around this tomb. The rain has started again. We are sitting under the plastic roof for a while, so we don't get wet. Now, after a while, it has rained a little again and people are running inside to avoid the rain.


The roof inside is high and is very beautifully done in true Mughal architecture. In front of us, Humayun's tomb is in the middle. The roof is about 30 to 40 feet long and if we go a little further, we will see more graves in the rooms and all these graves belong to the Mughal emperor Humayun. It belongs to the family.


Whenever a tourist visits India. Those who come to Delhi must be shown this place. We asked a native man and we found out that this Tomb acres.


It also has four gardens. After wandering around the whole place, I started getting really hungry. Now we left the place to eat and went to a restaurant where we all ate and left for our house. If you come to Delhi, you must visit here.


Qutub Minar:


Today, we three friends are out again to visit a new historical place. so the name coming on our list today is Qutub Minar. Talking about historical places, Kitab Minar is included in them. It is a tall building. However, we bought the tickets here and entered.


Here we see a storage space where we can store our belongings, bags, etc. Now we are going to enter Qutub Minar. So Qutub Minar's timing is from 6 pm to 8:30 pm.


You can come here on Sunday, which is the best day to enjoy. It is Nine o'clock and the place is crowded.


There are different lines to go inside those who are Indians. There is a separate line for those who are foreigners. An emergency gate is also located here along with the main entrance.


When we entered inside we saw some caves there. We saw that Indian people are less and foreigners were more visible for some days.


The four sides are round and covered with barriers no one can enter in this. That's a good thing because it is necessary otherwise, people would have written their names on this historical place too, that is what usually happens People write their names on historical places.


If we talk about the height of this tower, is 72.5 m long. All the people could go inside it but there was an accident a few years ago that led to going up.


Prohibition has been done. It has a very thin space inside and stairs that are there only one person can pass through them at a time and there is a mosque right next to it.


We were really excited to see Minar in real life.  As we had only seen it in pictures before. There is also a place on one side where people sit.


You can relax there, you don't need a guide to come here, but when you come inside you will see a Stall everything seems to be written. The people do not understand such history. They just have to have a good picture. That's why people are seen taking pictures everywhere.


Now all our friends are going out after hanging out here. Now there is a very long line even to go out. We have to return the tokens that these three have and then go out.


If this Token is lost by someone, he will have to pay a fine of one hundred rupees here, So just keep it under control or the ticket will cost you expensive. After wandering around here, we were so tired and left for home.


Jama Masjid:


Today our journey has started towards Jamia Masjid. Jama Masjid itself is a great example. This mosque is separate from other mosques even after many centuries it still exists in the same condition. It is located in Delhi city also the second-largest mosque in India.


It was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jaha between 1650 to 1656. Before the end of the Mughal Empire, this mosque was the royal mosque of the Mughals. At the entrance, there are three big doors for people to come and go.


The mosque was built very beautifully while the area of ​​the mosque is similar to the mosque in Agra. Red stone and marble are mostly used in buildings. The mosque has been used. Inside the place of worship we got to see three marble domes and along with seven arches are also built towards the west.


The middle roof is decorated with a marble and chandelier which adds beauty to the mosque. There is a large yard made of red sandstone and also an ablution area in the middle of it.


There is a wide space for many people. On the North side, there is one white closet Where Prophet Mohammad ( P.B.U.H) signs are available.

A huge minaret was visible on both sides of the mosque. On asking, we found out that this minaret is about 40 feet long and white marble and minarets are topped by a marble.

You can also go to the top of the minaret, but a separate ticket is required to go to the top tower. I have heard that there are 130 stairs from where a very good view can be seen.

This mosque is often full of tourists at the time we arrived here, foreigners and locals everywhere seen. It was time for the Zohar prayer So we did our prayer at the same place.

Here many people were seen taking pictures. My friends also took pictures here and after wandering around for some time, we went outside.
