India : New Delhi : Sight Seeing - 6

Guys I have missed to write more sight seeings within the New Delhi Region. Just visit these Heritage and make your tour pleasurable.

Qutub Minar :

This imposing five-storey tower was built in 1193 AD by Qutubuddin Aibak, a slave of the Muslim raider Mohammad Ghauri, to mark the first Muslim dynastgy in India. Housed next to it is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, a novel construction of Islamic domes and arches and carved decorative panels, from the Jain and Hindu temples. Qutub Minar is a World Heritage Monument.

Lakshmi Narayan Temple :

This is relatively modern temple built in 1938 by the industrialist B.D. Birla. The temple was the favourite place of worship of Mahatma Gandhi.

ISKCON Temple :

This temple in red coloured stone, set on a hilltop at East of Kailash in New Delhi, exhudes a serenity rare in modern cities. Vedic Expo is an attraction for tourists interested in spiritual gain, from all over the world. This is open from 1000 ro 2100 hrs daily. A Robot Show by nine robots incorporating special effects is also an unforgettable experience.

Bahai Temple :

A unique lotus-shaped structure houses the beautiful temple of this religious sect from Persia. The stream of common people who visit it everyday is proof of the openness of the Indian psyche which accepts the beautiful and sublime even if it is foreign in origin.
