Listen "India Dispatch 2: the Golden Triangle"
Episode Synopsis
The Golden Triangle is one of India’s most famous road trips. From New Delhi, to Agra, to Jaipur, the voyage includes stops at the center of Jaipur’s walled city, old monuments in Delhi city center, and, of course, the glorious Taj Mahal.
In this episode, we visit these sites, hearing what it sounds like to be on the grounds of the Taj Mahal as well as inside.
We talk to my guide Mahesh about his calling to be a cultural ambassador, but also his singing as we run through the rain.
Kishore, a local Agra guide, tells us about the history of the Mughal Empire and his own lessons through a foray into social media and Youtube.
This episode is marked by music from a local musician named Deepak Prabhakar, his Indian flute music as beautiful as his story.
And finally, once back in Delhi, we speak with Arshiya and Aritra, two teenagers who have already lived on 4 continents before turning 18. With all that traveling, they have some great advice on what it means to be home.
