    I appreciate the windows of India Gate the most. They are perfect stone carvings! They are shocking. The windows are carved at equal distances. Even if they are processed by modern machines, there will be a large error. But you know, these windows are so exquisite, at least visually, without any difference. It is really shocking.

    Lotus Temple in India is a famous landmark building in Delhi, also known as the "House of Worship". It is said that the number of tourists visiting it exceeds that of the famous Taj Mahal. The appearance of Lotus Temple looks like a blooming lotus, symbolizing the mutual tolerance and coexistence of different religions. Its appearance is similar to the "Sydney Opera House" and is jokingly called "two buildings that can talk to each other."
