India, Part 1: Golden Triangle


During this trip, I have spent 15 days on my own traveling in the Northern India, visiting the Golden Triangle. The cities that forme the Golden Triangle are: Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. After this wonderful adventure I attended a yoga school in Rishikesh to become a certified yoga teacher, you can see more picture about Rishkesh here: India, Part 2: Rishikesh
Delhi

Delhi is a very busy city , the sound of car horns never stops ! Sometimes it is difficult to walk because the traffic on the roads, not just cars but bicycles, took toook, dogs, cows and people is a lot! What does stupid me to this city , but also to Agra , Jaipur and Rishikesh is that although there are cows everywhere I've never seen an accident.

Shiva Temple
It's nice to know that in each temple , before joining rise up the shoes , wash their hands and mouth and touch the entry step.
Amber Fort
It is 13 km far away from the city center
Krishna Temple
This temple is very close to the Amber Fort, the city has an important amount of interesting temples located in stunning locations.

For each month of the year there are some recommended stones, find yours!

The amazing Taj Mahal, a monument of Love.
One of the seven wonders of the modern world.
I cried in this place.

For this monument I wanted a native guide who explained me the whole story . The wife of King died giving birth to her fourteenth child . Him for love has invested all his money to build the most beautiful tomb in the world . The son , realizing that they were going to ruin has imprisoned his father and when he died he buried his father next to his mother's grave , though , it would seem that the father wanted unaltro Taj Mahal identical to the first but black. This story is really exciting . Just arrived in front of the most beautiful monument I have ever seen I got goosebumps when I was inside and I felt very strong energy and I started to cry . There are places that photos look gorgeous and when you see them live you remain disappointed , this is the opposite , the picture looks great, but when you see it live you realize that it is amazing .
Typical picture with Taj Mahal behind you!
One reason for the extraordinary work is the perfect geometry of its forms and the almost obsessive search symmetry . But the real peculiarity of the Taj Mahal is its ability to come up with an ever changing appearance depending on the time in which it is observed . In fact, the subtle play of light and shadow on the delicate marble of which the entire structure , accomplices also semi -precious stones set in it is coated, is always different to the observer . Depending on the time of day when it is observed , the Taj Mahal assumes a white color, pink or gold.
