Agra, and Jaipur, where some of India's most famous and most-visited
historical landmarks are located. Delhi was the capital of
several ancient Indian empires, and the part of the city called New
Delhi is the seat of India's current government. Many of the
best places to visit in Delhi are temples, ranging from historic ones
like Swaminarayan
Akshardham Temple to modern buildings like the Bahá'í House of Worship,
also known as the Lotus Temple.
