Half Day Spiritual Sites and Temples Tour

One of the main reasons that travelers journey to India is its incredibly rich culture of spirituality and religion. This half day tour of Delhi, famed for its multitude of temples and spiritual sites opens your eyes to the vivid colors and nuances of spirituality in the region. It gives you the chance to take a look into the culture and history of the people who live there. Beginning with a visit to the Jama Masjid, which was built in the 17th century and currently one of the largest mosques in India, you will observe how the architecture is rooted in history. In the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, which is the old bungalow where the ruler Raja Jai Singh used to reside, you will unravel 17th century history and the spirituality of the times as the home is considered a prominent Sikh house of worship. Your next stop is the Birla Temple, built by a family of the same name, to stand enraptured at its ornate outer design. Shining in white marble, it's an incredible sight to behold. Among the temples you'll see, the Lotus Temple may be among the most unique. In a distinctly more modern architectural approach, the vaulting roof of this temple has incredible 27 free standing marble petals, their shape giving the temple its floral name. Your tour ends with a safe return back to your hotel, having discovered some of Delhi's most splendid religious sites.
