Correct Answer: A
Detailed Solution
India's famous Golden Triangle Tourist Circuit connects three major tourist cities—Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
It is called the ‘Golden Triangle’ because when these three cities are connected on a map, their locations form an approximately triangular shape.
Delhi, as the historical and modern capital of India, is known for several important monuments. Agra is particularly famous for Mughal heritage sites such as the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, while Jaipur is known for its Rajput architecture, Amer Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal.
It is one of India's most famous tourist circuits and particularly connects the country's Mughal, Rajput and Indo-Islamic architectural heritage within a single travel route.
