A remarkable monument to discover, Agrasen ki Baoli dates back to the 14th century. Characterizing around 103 steps descending to the bottom, the rare beauty of this step-well is sure to set your eyes reeling. During your trip, you might just get lucky to hear some eerie stories related to this place.
Lutyens created this monumental arch-shaped memorial made of stone that stands 42 metres high in 1921. This monument, which was erected in honour of the roughly 90,000 Indian Army personnel who sacrificed their lives in World War I, operations on the Northwest Frontier, and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War, pays tribute to the Bravehearts.
This towering Afghan-style victory minaret is unmissable. Sultan Qutb-ud-din proclaimed his supremacy over the defeated rulers of Qila Rai Pithora by erecting this 73m high structure. The tower has five storeys and projecting balconies. The intricate bands made of sandstone encircling the tower bear verses from the holy book of Quran.
This serene house of worship, also known as the Bahai House of Worship, is built to resemble a lotus blossom. Fariborz Sahba, an Iranian-Canadian architect, created this masterpiece in 1986 with the intention of bringing people of different religions together. Both silent meditation and offering prayers are permitted inside the temple.
The beauty of this monument, which was erected for Emperor Humayun by his wife Haji Begum, is beautiful and utterly unreal. This historical structure stands out from the others due to its symmetrical gardens, arched facades, and distinctive Persian and Mughal characteristics. The marble and red sandstone artwork is quite striking. Either Akshardham Temple or Humayun's Tomb are options for you.
