As an Indian, I bought a ticket for 30 rupees and entered the Victoria Memorial. Before that you can ride a horse in front of the ground.

The Victoria Memorial covers a vast area. The lush green garden around the memorial will catch your eye. The party is very clean and tidy. The magnificent building of white marble stands tall from any end of the park. When you see this two-storey building, you really wonder what makes such a beautiful building. As soon as you enter the building, you will see various historical monuments of the British rule. As well as many items and documents used by the Mughals and Nawabs. Turning around for about 2 hours we exited the exit point of the building and went straight to the left.

St. Paul’s Catholic Church stands on the opposite side of the street from Main Street. You must like a wonderful church. To the right of the main gate of the church you will see the Aditya Birla Auditorium. It’s a lot like our country’s novo theater. If you like planets and stars, you can also take a look around this auditorium.

In this way, it is almost afternoon to see everything back. We go back to our hotel and walk around the Newmarket area in the evening.

Take care of the environment while traveling. Nature will take care of you if you take care of nature. Do not throw dirt anywhere, and do not do any work that harms the environment. Happy traveling.
