Aligarh Muslim University – Much more than just a University
Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India — Aligarh Muslim University is more than just a University; it is a citadel of cultural, architectural and artistic heritage. In accordance with the principles of its founding fathers and the constitution of India, the campus, museum and library brim with fine works of Islamic, Buddhist and Hindu traditions, all meticulously preserved.
Covering the entire campus will take up at least a day. For serious connoisseurs of history and heritage, at least two days is recommended. All photographs by Imtiaz Muqbil, Executive Editor, Travel Impact Newswire.
