India
- the land to travel to, a haven of tourism delights,
a civilization to tour through. Tourists come to India
for its wealth of sights, cultural exuberance,
diversity of terrain and in search of that special
something, an extra punch that only India promises and
delivers. Teeming with over a billion people who voice
over a million concerns in fifteen hundred different
languages, India is where people live with variety,
thrive on diversity and are too familiar with
largeness to let it boggle them. Mud huts and mansions
face off across city streets. Lurid luxury and limp
living are inhabitants of the same lane.

(seat of the Emperor). Today a visitor to Agra
is caught up in a world of contrasting
edifices, of red sandstone and white marble,
narrow galleys and quaint buggies, and that
irresistible charm that this favorite city of
the Mughals still retains. It is not

its Mughal heritage most conspicuously. A walk
