The Famous Monuments
Further more, there are more monuments in India for which my heart too swells for their history and sizes such as the New 7th wonder of the world - Taj Mahal and Charminar in Old city in Hyderabad.
It is said that the Taj Mahal in India shows different colors in different seasons is an amaizing fact.
"I remain quite at home sitting on the floor of the kargudi house on a mat of reeds, eating from a banana leaf with my hands. I feel just as much at home eating noodles in china, steak in spain, teriyaki in japan and cous-cous in morocco. I am a kargudi villager, a tamilian, a Hyderabadi, an indian, a washington redskins fan, and a citizen of the world, all at the same time and with no sense of tension or contradiction."

"when I see the brihadeeswara temple in tanjore, my heart swells and I say to myself “this is mine.” I feel exactly the same way when I see the church of bom jesus in goa, or the jewish synagogue in cochin, or the siddi sayed mosque in ahmedabad: these too are mine. I have strolled so often through the parks at oxford university and along the canal in washington, dc, that they feel part of me. (amit) in the tradition of kaniyan poongundranar, I guess.every town our home town,every man a kinsman."(trans. by ak ramanujan)
