There is also the lovely Ganesh Mandir temple to enjoy. Furthermore, the vast Padam Talao Lake, which is one of the many located in the park, is particularly beautiful when the water lilies are in bloom.

6. The Taj Mahal – Agra – Uttar Pradesh

Once seen, this iconic mausoleum is never forgotten. It is one of the most beautiful buildings on earth. Shah Jahan, a Mughal ruler, built it to honor his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who had died in childbirth.
