Lotus Temple
Yesterday it was a beautiful and amazing day to us. We visited lotus temple . It is symbol of engineering and architecture. It is a new temple. It was built in 1986. It is a Baha”i’ house of worship. It is so peaceful and so beautiful temple. All are one and love in peace and harmony. One of the best thing of the place is that there is no potential barriers for religion and also for gender and this fact is the one of the best fact of the temple. It is not a temple, it is a symbol of similarity & equality. It is a symbol of humanity.
India Gate
India gate is a war memorial built in the memory of soldiers who sacrificed their lives in different wars to protect the nation from enemy. The beauty of the place it was amazing. But we don’t go to see this we go to there to feel the proud, to make bravery & valor. We all know that who are Soldiers ? ? It is the proud of India. I went not only to visit, iIwent to feel proud for nation , Beauty for eyes but bravery & valor its for your its for your nation. My nation is my first mother . . all Indian say the line it ‘s not only for showing. It is true. If you are positive about for work . . that means you are doing for nation. If every single guy know his / her responsibility and doing. You are a Soldier because soldier mean not for army a man its mean every single who is fighting with his self that ‘s mean his is a soldier .
We are youth of a nation. We have a some responsibilities for our nation what is that we have to find. Because every single guy have a different work.
Yesterday morning the lizard’s of Delhi welcomed me. A lazy day in the beginning, went with sessions saying our experience and expectations. Though a lazy day when we were told finish the survey given by Tera, I boosted up my energy. Later we went for lunch in a common place where it was too crowded.
The first place we visited in Delhi is the lotus temple which is wonderful! My exceptions when I heard temple was something different than I saw. It really caught my thoughts, there is no structure of any god of any religion. Silent place where any caste, religion,gender and colour can visit sit inside and pray silently. Before we went inside their was a brief information given to us about the temple. Enjoyed the time though i was sweating. The second place we visited was the India gate with the beautiful weather of sunset. I had a proud feeling being an Indian. It was filled with the hustle and bustle of people. Went a round of the gate and walked back to the bus.
The favourite part for me was the dinner, my favourite dish too(mutton) having after the couple of days. Then returned to the room having the thought of waking up early today to take a long journey to Agra my eyes fell asleep.
Hoping to have a great day today, super excited to see Taj Mahal and to know more about it and also I’m hoping for a good weather.
One thing I’m sad about is that there is only three days for us to be together and then i will have to go to my daily routine as usual.
We visited the two historical and monumental structures. One is Lotus temple and other one is India Gate. Both are rich in architecture. Lotus temple is so peaceful and Beautiful. One thing that I liked the most about Lotus temple is that there are no potential barriers for religion. All are one and live in peace and Harmony.
We visited India gate which is one of the main Structure and Historical monument that represents Delhi. We were explained that it is build in the memorial of soldiers those who lost their life in Wars/battles and having their names on it. There were so many tourists and local citizens that it became important for us to stick together. Visiting Delhi and learning about these places is such a lifetime experience and unforgettable memories for me.
