- Benares, "the Holy city of the Hindus," is one of the most ancient cities in the world. Situated on the Ganges it forms a magnificent panorama of buildings in many varieties of Oriental architecture. The banks of the river, lined with stone, are generally crowded with worshipers who come to wash away their sins in the sacred Ganges, curious and interesting sight. The ghats or bathing places are visited by at least a million pilgrims annually. We are shown "The Monkey Temple," and are introduced to a number of traveling snake exhibitors. The so-called Monkey Temple is the Djurga, sacred to Shiva's Wife, who is said to delight in destruction. Agra is a more pretentious place. It contains the Taj Mahal, considered to be the most beautiful building in the world. It was built in 1632 by the Emperor Shah Jahan for the remains of his favorite wife and he himself is burled in it. The building has been described as a "dream in marble" and the picture of it justifies the description. Situated upon the right bank of the Jumna River, just below a sharp bend, it has a commanding location. The Great Gateway, built in 1648, leads into the beautiful Taj garden. The marble platform on which the great tomb stands is twenty-two feet high and over three hundred feet square. The exquisite white marble minarets on each corner are one hundred and thirty-seven feet high and the central dome with its metal pinnacle rises to a height of two hundred and seventeen feet. The Taj is a gorgeous array of marble and precious stones. Curious sights are wagons drawn by camels and the extremely crude and ineffective way in which the city streets are sprinkled.
