TRIP TO INDIA 1
CHRISTMAS holidays were about to begin. Abhaybhai asked Ajay, "Where would you like to go during these holidays?"
Ajay said, "Daddy, this year Rekha and I would like to go to India. The weather will be nice and warm there. Besides, I want to go and see some of our holy places. I also want to see Delhi and Agra, where I can see the Taj Mahal."
Abhaybhai said, "I am surprised that you want to go to India, instead of celebrating Christmas here with your friends." Ajay said, "I want to see the land of my grandparents; I have also come to know that great saints were born in India. It is the land of Mahavir and Buddha. It is the land of Gandhiji."
Abhaybhai and the whole family went to India. Ajay made quite a few new friends. They went to New Delhi and Agra in Northern India. New Delhi is the capital city of India. It has some magnificent buildings. They all went to see the memorials of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru.
In Agra they saw the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is built of beautiful white marble. Ajay and Neela liked the Taj Mahal.
After seeing Delhi and Agra, they all went to the state of Rajasthan. There they saw many places of pilgrimage like Ranakpur, Jaisalmer and Mount Abu.
