Delhi pics continued. . .

The India Gate
The India Gate is an archway in central New Delhi. I believe it was built by the British, but I'll look it up the guide book when I get home and update this entry when I have internet again. It was surrounded by a beautiful park with a small pond where people can rent paddleboats. There were tons of people picnicking and enjoying their afternoon as we wandered through.






Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's tomb was actually built in the 1600's before the Taj Mahal. It was built by Humayun's wife as a token of her love for him. (The Taj Mahal was built by the next emperor, Akbar, to demonstrate his love for his wife. . . it's all pretty romantic actually.) Humayun's tomb is found in Old Delhi while the Taj Mahal is in Agra, where Akbar moved the capital upon his ascension to the throne.
