History
The history of Jag Mandir dates back to the 17th century. The palace is reminiscent of the Mughal era adding to its rich historical past. History says that Jag Mandir came into being because of Maharana Karan Singh Ji as an act of kindness towards Prince Khurram, later known as Shah Jahan. Prince Khurram opposed his father because he wanted to rein the Mughal Empire. Scared of not being able to accomplish his mission he s...

...mer season starts from March till the end of June. The maximum temperature can rise up to 40 degrees making it impossible to take a tour of the city.
One cannot enjoy the picturesque beauty of this magnificent place in the hot summer months as it becomes unbearable to step out. The summer season should be avoided if you want to enjoy every bit of the place. Monsoons do bring a little relief with the cooling showers, but the city does not receive much rain even during the rainy season making the weather humid and sticky.
The best time to visit Udaipur is during the months of September to March. The weather is very pleasant and you can enjoy every bit of your stay during this period. A number of festivals and celebrations take place during this time as well, the most significant being Shilgram crafts Mela, which attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world.
Constructed in the 7th Century, home to a government, a religious pilgrimage site, the residence of the Dalai Lama, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and located at twelve thousand feet above sea level, Potala Palace is an amazing architectural feat and the most important building in Tibet. The palace is admired as the symbol of Tibet as well as an illustration for the religious struggle for purification. Influences, both ancient and unexpected, relate this sacred symbol in stone to the rest of the world, both new and ancient, with a classic architectural language, which is paramount to any social or political society.

The actual building itself appears similar to a castle. The architecture had royal features due to the triangular points on the top of the building. There were three open doors; one big main entrance in front, two small side doors, and all the guests entered through the main entrance. Once I walked in, a big gold Buddha was centered in the back surrounding multiple iconic religious statues. There seemed to be about a hundred religious statues highly dazzled in silver or good.
I learned Mandir is a place where Hindu go to worship and not only that it is a house of god, but also

The Taj Mahal, which translates to “Crown Palace” is a very significant monument and regarded as one of the best in the world. It is actually a mausoleum where both the bodies of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal are found. It was built from 1631 till 1648 AD in Agra, India (History of Taj Mahal). Architects from all around the world were ordered to come to India and build this Taj Mahal by the order of the Mughal, Shah Jahan (History of Taj Mahal). He built this to honor his wife after her death while she was giving birth to their child (History of Taj Mahal). Her last words for Shah Jahan was to build a tomb in her memory that the world has never seen before, and so he did what she asked for (History of Taj Mahal). Later on, the grave of Shah Jahan was added to the Taj Mahal.
The Southern California Buddhist Church established in Los Angeles on Jackson Street with its first resident minister, the Rev. Koyu Uchida in 1905. In the year of 1917, the name of the church changed to Hongwanji Buddhist Church of Los Angeles, and its location changed to Yamato Hall. The new temple was constructed and built at central ave and 1st street in the year of 1925. When going to the temple, the first thing you see is a grand temple with a Japanese style architecture. It has a beautiful lawn area and a big bell. There is a lot of great work and dedication towards this construction that you can tell how important Buddhism means to the founders of this temple. The master artist created a statue of the founder of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhism which was very interesting. I did not see a Buddha statue outside of the temple but once I was inside the temple I got to see a lot of interesting art showcasing the life of the historical Buddha. The Altar itself sets apart from the rest because it is paved in gold. The decorators of this altar designed it just like the ones in Japan. As you can see the design of the temple was well planned out, and that the people who wanted this temple built must have been very proud of their Japanese heritage because everything felt like it was a total different atmosphere. However, there were pews inside the temple giving a Christian essence to the
I think a gigantic funerary mosque of white marble, built in Agra by order of the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, the Taj Mahal is the most perfect jewel of Moslem art in India and is one of the universally admired architectures of the world’s heritage. Not only see the beautiful Taj Mahal from the video, I also knew the history of itself and its country. A white marble tomb sums up many of the formal themes that have played through Islamic architecture. The video did talk a lot of how much Shah Jahan himself and his father loved art and made many gorgeous artworks. Taj Mahal’s refined style is a conspicuous contrast to the Hindu architecture of pre-Islamic India, with its thick walls, arches, and heavy supports. Even though Taj Mahal is the symbol of grief and sadness, it still has it beauty looks from marble and sand stone.
The travel website, Taj Mahal, illustrates the origins of this monument. It was constructed to serve as a memorial and tomb for Mumtaz Mahal, the deceased wife of the emperor Shah Jahan (Taj Mahal, 2008). Before her death, while birthing Shah Jahan’s fourteenth child, she requested Jahan build a monument to honor her as stated by the Taj Mahal website (Taj Mahal, 2008). In 1631, construction began, and was finally completed twenty-two years later (Taj Mahal, 2008). Twenty-two thousand workers labored in constructing the monument bringing materials by elephant from many parts of Asia (Taj Mahal, 2008). The web site Islamic Architecture lists the Iranian architect Ustad Ahmed Lahwari as the key designer of the structure; however other architects played prominent roles in the monument’s design (Organization, 1995-2003).Over time, the esti...
The Temple was very large and beautiful. My friend and I were both stunned by how gorgeously built the Mandir was. The buildings were big and stretched across several acres of the land. Next to the temple was another large building, which was used as a center for gatherings and entertainment purposes. The temple had many different entrances, the main one we noticed were the big steps ...

In high season (dates differ depending on the destination), hoteliers know they have much chance of fulfilling their establishment. They therefore make little effort on their prices and you may need to pay full price. For a hotel at the best price, so it is more advantageous to visit a city at medium or low season.
They have four seasons; however the climate never reaches too cold or too hot. For this reason, tourism flourishes all throughout the year.
I love the hot and humid days that makes you want to dive into a fresh and cold pool. When summer time starts, you can wear lighter clothes, which are much more comfortable. The weather allows people to go outdoors to do fun activities. You wake up in the morning to the sun beaming in your room, birds chirping, and the aroma of the delicious food that is cooking downstairs. The outdoors are alive with the freshness of the air, the smell of flowers and a freshly mowed lawn. During the warm summer nights, you can sit outside on your porch and chat with your neighbo...
