Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity

Reviewed By callingindiatour - New Delhi, India

The Missionaries of Charity (Latin: Missionariarum a Caritate) is a Roman Catholic (Latin Church) religious congregation established in 1950 by Mother Teresa, now known in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. In 2012 it consisted of over 4,500 religious sisters. Members of the order designate their affiliation using the order's initials, "M.C." A member of the congregation must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and the fourth vow, to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor."[1] Today, the order consists of both contemplative and active branches in several countries.

Soami Bagh

Reviewed By RicherTrips - Monterrey, Mexico

This place is referred to with different names, like Samadh Soamiji Maharaj, Radhasoami mausoleum, Soami Bagh Samadh or Huzur Swamiji Maharaj Mausoleum, which can be confusing. This is the fourth wonder in Agra, along with the Taj, the Baby Taj (I´timad-ud-Daulah´s tomb) and the Red Fort. A trip to Agra is not complete without this four attractions. It´s been under construction for 115 years, and still has a long time ahead. You can take pictures of the façade, but they´re not allowed inside. You must leave shoes, cameras and mobile phones at the entrance. Tourist guides aren´t allowed either. My husband and I walked at our own pace, sometimes beneath scaffoldings. The exteriors are amazing, but the interiors are mixed. I suppose it may be because they´re under construction, but some of the swami portraits were very poor works of art. The very simple tomb inside may also follow religious purposes or just be under construction.

Jama Masjid

Reviewed By Pontinha2015

I was very curious to visit this mosque as it was built by the same Mughal emperor that did the Taj Mahal and the red fort. It is very impressive in size and the architecture is amazing. I unfortunately wasn’t able to see the Quran written in deer skin. The mosque can be quiet busy and you have to leave your shoes outside. They provided cover for women. Also the city views are very interesting.

Dayal Bagh

Reviewed By NewDelhi_IndiaSanjay - New Delhi, India

Also known as the Garden of the Merciful. Serene, clean and tranquil. This describes this place to the final T. Celebrations were on for the 200 years of Radhasoami Satsang. Another must visit monument after the Taj Mahal in Agra. I am sure with time this place will become as popular as the Taj Mahal and soon will find a place in a wonder of the world.

Jama Masjid

Reviewed By Indiana_Jonesse - San Francisco, United States

A muslim signature, the white house is the house of the holy man who had the power to grant the king a son. It is still being used by worshippers and wish seekers. When you enter, you made a donation and the throw money and flowers to the dead man's tomb. I do not know who gets the money later.
