Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal, located in the city of Agra (210 km from Delhi),  is the exemplification of Mughal architecture and a standout amongst the most acclaimed edifices in the planet. Yet there have been few genuine investigations of it and no full examination of its structural planning and significance. Ebba Koch, a paramount researcher, has been allowed to take estimations of the unpredictable and has been finishing up the royal residences and arrangements of Shah Jahan for thirty years and on the Taj Mahal itself—the tomb of the head's wife, Mumtaz Mahal—for a decade.

Delhi Food – Khandani Pakodiwalla, Near Bhikaji Cama Flyover

City, City food, Delhi, pakoda

Delhi Food – Bedmi Poori, Shyam Sweets


Deep-fried, crisp and puffy, bedmi poori is a bread made of wheat flour and ground urad lentil. Served with aloo subzi (potato gravy), it is heavier than plain pooris, which are only of flour. An Old Delhi specialty, bedmi’s social origins illustrate the area’s multi-religious character.

Delhi Landmark – Sikander Bakery, Kucha Faulad Khan


It's a restricted and gloomy, with the exemption for the orange sparkle from an opening in the divider. Two men in lungis squat when the wood-booted broiler. Darkened iron trays are stacked inverse one of the unit's soiled dividers. Ten minutes later, a man supplements a long press spatula into the broiler and completes a tray of paape. This radiant-tan bread and the Dickensian planet in which it is made has vanished.
