Fatehpur Sikri
Fatehpur Sikri was the capital of India's Mughal Empire under Akbar's reign, from 1571 until 1585, when it was abandoned. It is a perfectly preserved example of Indo-Islamic Mughal architecture.
Humayans tomb
Humayan was the second Mughal Emperor, and his tomb in Delhi is one of the best examples of early Mughal architecture. it is well worth a visit, especially if you are continuing to the Taj Mahal so you can see the refinement of the Mughal style.
Jama Masjid
Delhi's Jama Masjid or Friday Mosque is the largest mosque in India and a fine example of Mughal architecture. It is located in the heart of the old town and with the Red Fort dominates Old Delhi.
Khajuraho
One of the most popular tourist destinations in India, Khajuraho has the largest group of medieval Hindu temples, famous for their erotic sculpture. By virtue of being fairly isolated the temples have been spared much of the destruction caused by pillaging armies over the centuries, and the site is remarkably well preserved.
Kumbhalgarh
Said to be the longest walls in the world after the Great Wall of China, the 23 miles of wall surrounding the fortress are an impressive sight. the area around the 15th century is also home to an important wildlife sanctuary.

Ranakpur
Located about halfway between Udaipur and Jodhpur, in a lush valley on the flanks of the Aravali Hills, Ranakpur is famous for its impressive temple complex.
Sarnath
Just a few miles from Varanasi, Sarnath is one of the four main sites of Buddhism where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon after achieving enligtenment.

The life of Madurai revolves around the Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple. This magnificently carved temple is the main attraction of Madurai and its huge Gopurams tower over the city. Meenakshi temple has a thousand pillared 'Mandapam', each of the pillars being exquisitely carved. Among these are the musical pillars, which produce music when tapped, and which were carved out of a single granite rock.
