The huge and massive construction of all these enchanted me.

Also the Amar Javan Jyoti made me feel patriotic. After this

DAY 2:-Today we were to go to Agra . It is about 230 km from

Delhi. We woke early and started our journey. First we went to

Taj Mahal –one on the seven wonders of the world. When I first

saw the sight, I was lost in its beauty . It is very well

maintained by Archaelogical Survey of India.

We also clicked some of its pictures. It was built by Shah

Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaj after her death.

Behind the Taj Mahal we could see the Yamuna river. We saw

a lot of foreigners here too. Next we went to Agra Fort, where

Auranzeb had kept Shah Jahan under arrest. We also saw the

Taj Mahal from there. It was also very crowded. Then we

continued our journey and then visited Mathura the holy place

of Indians and the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Total security

was there at Mathura. We also saw the place where Lord

Krishna was born. After the mesmerised day we returned

home. We also visited Fatehpur Sikri, the place where Akbar

ruled and Jahangir was born. We also saw the huge Buland

Darwaza and also clicked its photos .

second Mughal ruler Humayun. It is a vast complex with several

tombs of other people like Isa Khan etc .We then visited Raj Ghat

the burial place of Great Mahatma Gandhi. Then we visited Ansers - 1) Fire 2) Ice Cube 3) A clock
