A journey through South Rajasthan during the fag end of monsoon is where one can experience being among the vast green landscapes and rivers. Right after Chittorgarh - a 7th century vast hilltop complex with the remains of many temples and monuments – I started my jeep ride through the countryside to Castle Bijaipur.
STORIES FROM THE ROAD
8 Things You Didn’t Know About Agra
By Kuntil Baruwa, Explorer, Destination Knowledge Centre
1. The palatial Bungalows of Agra Cantonment were a fine example of public-private partnership during the British Raj. When the Agra Cantonment; where one gets to see some superb Indo-Saracenic buildings (a mix of Hindu, Islamic and European elements) was getting built in 1805, an invitation was given to the local “Seths” (rich traders) to invest their monies to build these bungalows as per the need and requirement of the British officers. In return they got handsome rentals from the British Army. With India’s independence and post 15th August, 1947, many of these Bungalows were sold off by the Seths or taken over by the Indian Army.
