The only thing that was disappointing was not being allowed to take in my camera, however I understand that for security reasons it's important, and... More

Great example of architecture, mythology & history clubbed with peaceful surroundings not to forget the musical fountains, Though time to enter the vicinity is high but the wait pays itself. Good metro connectivity is another plus point. More

This is one of the places in Delhi that you shouldn't miss. The complex is so very amazing and extravagant... jaw-dropping architecture! Too bad we weren't allowed to take pictures. More

I'm not sure about the historical accuracy of many of the things I "learned" while visiting, however, it was certainly enjoyable. It's a beautiful structure with gorgeous gardens. Definitely worth a visit. More
