India Trip Day 14 / Humayun’s Tomb (Delhi) & India Gate

ランチの後行ったのは、タージマハールの原型となったムガール建築の傑作と言われる、フマユーン廟。9年の歳月を経て完成させたそうです。ムガール建築というのはペルシャとインドの建築様式が融合した建築のスタイルのこと。

After lunch, we visited Humayun’s Tomb, which is the first and finest example of the monumental scale that became a feature of Mughal imperial architecture and inspired the Taj Mahal.  Mughal architecture is the type of Indo-Islamic architecture.

インドはほとんどの寺院やフォートなどの遺跡の規模が大きく見所も満載で、さっと歩いて回るだけでも2時間くらいかかってしまいます。また、特にデリーは交通渋滞が酷くて移動にも時間がかかり、その上、この日はランチに予定以上の時間がかかり、最終日は時間が押せ押せになりました。

Most temples, forts and other historic  monuments in India are very large in scale and have so many things to see, it often takes at least 2 hours just to walk around and have a quick look.  In Delhi, the traffic was very congested as well and our lunch took much longer than we had anticipated.  Therefore, we were running out of time on this last day.

この日、滞在していたホテル The Imperial のアートツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、その開始時間が5時でした。その前に、紅茶屋さんに寄りたいと思っていたので、まだ少し見るお墓があると言われましたが、時間がないのでここで終わりにすることに。途中、インド門の前を通って、紅茶屋さんに向かいました。

We had booked an Art Tour of the hotel we were staying at, The Imperial, and it was scheduled to start at 5.00pm.  We wanted to buy some tea in a tea shop before then so we told our guide, who was going to show us some more tombs, that we were running out of time and would like to skip the tombs and go to the tea shop we were planning to try.  We drove in front of India Gate on the way.
