• Golden Temple –

Another world-famous religious destination in India is the Golden Temple of Amritsar. This temple is a tiny part of the gigantic gurdwara complex, known as Harmandir Sahib. Religiously, the emphasis lies in the tank which encompasses the gleaming shrine of the Amrit Sarovar. From this pristine lake, Amritsar has got its name. This place was excavated by Ram Das, the fourth Sikh guru, in the year 1577. Surrounded by a marble walkway, this tank is known to have healing capacities. Pilgrims visit this place from every nook of the globe to take a bath in its holy water.

• Ellora Cave Temple –

Another important temple in India is the Elora Cave Temple. The saga of chisel and hammer derives from a full circle at the Unesco World Heritage, which is located at least 30 kilometres away from Aurangabad. Manifesting the glimpses of ancient Indian rock-cut architecture, these world-famous caves were chipped out quite laboriously over almost five centuries by the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain monks.

• Jama Masjid –

A stunning pocket of peace at the bosom of Old Delhi's mayhem, this mosque was built on a 10m elevation. It is capable of holding a throng of at least 25,000 pilgrims. The red-sandstone and marble structure, widely popular as the ‘Friday Mosque’, was the final architectural triumph of King Shah Jahan. This mosque was established between the years of 1644 and 1658.
