From Mughal Empire landmarks in the north such as Delhi’s Red Fort to Agra’s iconic Taj Mahal mausoleum, India shakes the senses and stirs the soul. Pilgrims bathe in the Ganges in Varanasi, yoga-lovers seek sanctuary in Rishikesh, and travellers seek out serene Kochi and its beguiling mix of giant cantilever fishing nets, ancient synagogues and mosques, Portuguese homes and the vanishing remnants of the British Raj.
