Historical Monuments

India is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and is best known for its colourful culture and fascinating heritage. Its grand monuments, like the Taj Mahal act as strong pillars of the rich and deep history that India possesses. From their splendid architecture to a strong legacy, the historical monuments of India speak volumes. Most of these Indian monuments were primarily built under the regime of Rajputana, Dravidian and Mughal emperors. The monuments of India are speaking stones of the glory of its rulers and the brilliance of artisans in ancient India.
