About the Ebook
This book celebrates the Golden Triangle - a traveler’s Trigonometric survey of emblematic India. Starting at the daunting Mega metropolis of Delhi with its majestic Mughal heritage, it then angles towards Agra where the world’s most famous tomb, the Taj Mahal, defines a city before heading to Jaipur, the city painted pink with a palace of winds and bustling bazaars and the gateway to Rajasthan. Nothing can fully prepare you for India but perhaps the one thing that best encapsulates this extraordinary country is its ability to inspire, frustrate, thrill and confound all at once. India at its very best is of country of prowling tigers, swaying elephants, hot and spicy bazaars, fabulous festivals, stunning saris and twisted turbans. All a pageant of color and curiosity set against a back-drop of desert sands, secluded jungles, marble palaces and impenetrable stone forts but there is a darker side to India too. Home to some of the largest slums in the world with their filth-strewn streets where children play, the deeply religious holy men aimlessly wander the streets collecting money for the poor as the women wash their clothes in the puddles of water that bubble up from every drain and pavement. Beggars plead for help on every corner.With a population of 1.1 billion driving over 50 million vehicles just crossing the road is a risky business in India. The constant sound of a million horns ring out every where you go from the cars, bicycles and tuk tuks trying to navigate the never ending traffic jam that makes up India’s roads.
