House No. 1/18, Top Floor, DDA Flats, Madangir, New Delhi 110062 Mob +91-9810491508 | Email- [email protected] | Web- www.agoravoyages.com
stands next to the remains of a larger
construction on the east side of a hill,
which runs south-east towards the Indus.
From the palace you can see over the
fertile Indus plain northeast to Thikse
Gompa and over the Indus to the Zanskar
mountain range. The old Shey Palace has
the largest golden Buddha statue in
Ladakh in its gompa. The statue is worked
out of gold and glided copper sheets, stands 12 meters high and has blue hair, King Dalden Namgyal
erected it in the middle of the 17th century. The most important moment in the construction of
such a figure is when the eyes are painted in and the statue can ‘see’. No artist or monk would dare
to look the Buddha in the eye so the pupils are painted over the artist’s shoulder, with his back to
the idol.
Thikse Gompa The 500 – year old Thikse monastery, perched on a hill high above the Indus, has
the largest contingent of monks in Ladakh. On the right of the entrance to the main courtyard a
new chapel houses an enormous 15 M high seated Buddha figure. About 100 yellow – cap monks
belong to the gompa. If you get there by 0630 AM you can witness the daily morning prayers but
there are also prayers closer to noon, preceded by long, mournful sounds from the long Tibetan
horns on the roof.
Hemis Gompa famous far beyond the borders of Ladakh for its festival. This takes place every year
with mask dances on the 9th to 11th day of the fifth Tibetan month. Hemis also has a gigantic
thangka, one of the largest in the world, which is only displayed to the public every 12 years at the
Hemis Festival. Hemis Gompa is the largest and one of the most important in Ladakh quite apart

overlooks the Valley and can be approached by a motorable road. A modern ceiling covers the inner

Mahal: one of the Seven Wonder of the
World build by Shah Jahan in 1631 AD and
was completed in 1651. This symbol of love
was build in memory of his wife Mumtaz
Mahal. Described as the most extravagant
monument ever build for love. It was
constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah
Jahan as a memorial to his queen Mumtaz
Mahal, made out of white marble took 22
years to complete. Ustad Ahamad Lahori, a
Parsian Architect, is said to be the main
designer and planer of this magnificent
memorial. On full moon night, the glory of the Taj is at its best. (Taj Mahal remain closed on every
Friday)
Agra Fort: build by the famed Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1565AD, the fort is predominantly of red
sandstone. Construction of the massive red sandstone Agra Fort on the bank of the Yamuna River
was begun by Emperor Akbar in 1565, though additions were made up until the rule of his grandson,
Shah Jahan region it has partially become Palace. The fort presents a good sampling of their
favoured architectural styles. Akbar drew on Islamic and Hindu traditions and the result is eclectic.
By Shah Jahan's time the style had become so homogenized that it is impossible to separate the
Hindu and Muslim strands. The Diwan-I-Am (public audience hall) the beautiful Diwan-I-Khas
(private audience hall) were also added by Shah Jahan.
AItmad-ud-daulah's Tomb; Built between 1622 and 1628 by Empress Nur Jahan for her father,
boasts of marble trellis work and inlaid with-precious stones, this mausoleum on the opposite bank
of the Yamuna from the Taj, exhibits a strong Persian influence. Itmad-ud-Daula often describe as
Jewel Box. The Tomb of Mir Ghias Beg, Vazir (minister) of Emperor Jahangir, was built between
1622 and 1628 from red sand stone with marble decorations as Akbars tomb in Sikendra. Itmad-ud-
daula has important place in history as well as architecture. This is actually the very first tomb in
India that is entirely made out of Marble. It is most important monument in Agra after Taj Mahal
and Agra fort. Overnight at hotel.
