ATTRACTIONS OF UTTAR PRADESH
Uttar Pradesh is the rainbow land where the multi-hued Indian Culture has blossomed from times immemorial.
Uttar Pradesh is known for its rich culture and tradition. It is home to Ayodhya and Mathura birthplace of Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, and Bhagwan Parshuram respectively. Taj Mahal, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in Agra is also located in Uttar Pradesh.
WHEN DOES THE SEARCH BEGIN? A few days after Independence a debate started in the legislature over the question of a “suitable name” of the newly born province that had been known as United Province of Agra and Oudh since 1902 and was shortened to United Province (UP) in 1937.
There are different places one can visit in Uttar Pradesh. Agra, Faizabad, Jhansi, Kanpur, and Lucknow are historical cities famous for their monuments. Mathura, Vrindavan, Gokul, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, and Allahabad are holy cities for Hindus, and Kushinagar and Sarnath are important Buddhist places among the main four pilgrimage sites related to the life of Gautama Buddha. Noida is the most developed urban city of Uttar Pradesh.
To boost tourism in the state from within the country and other parts of the world, the Government of Uttar Pradesh established an Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc' covering the cities of Agra, Lucknow, and Varanasi.
