YOUNG EXPLORER!
Welcome to MysticLand -
a world that lives within Earth but is invisible to humans.
The four of us are students at the MysticLand Elementia School. We each have our
own superpowers. What the rest of the Mysticals don’t know is that the four of us
often escape to Earth and travel to different lands. We love what humans have
created - beautiful buildings, rich history, art, culture, inventions, food, languages and
so much more! We go on adventures to different countries, learn about
everything and write about them in the Travel with MysticLand app.

One of my favourite subjects at the MysticLand
Elementia School is cartography or the study of
making maps. I have created a map of Earth as humans
know, and have plotted all the countries. Let me teach
you to read it right.

Orak opened a portal and took Verum, Scorch, and Felix back in time
for a luncheon with Emperor Akbar! They've just returned and are
narrating the entire experience to the other Mysticals in MysticLand.
Can you help them remember the food they ate? Let's go!
We started our lunch with some kebabs. They're basically cubes of marinated
......................................................... grilled on a skewer with vegetables. We absolutely enjoyed
eating hot kebabs dipped in cold mint .................................................... . Then came ..................................................... ,
the breakfast staple of the Mughals. It is a stew-like dish which gets its flavour
by slow-cooking meat and ............................................................. . It is paired with hot ................................................ roti.
To give us a break from meat, the delicious ................................................... was brought to the table. This dish
has deep-fried balls of mashed potatoes and paneer dunked in a rich, creamy gravy. We ate it
with delicious ................................................... and garlic naan.
Then they served us a big bowl of biryani. In Persian, ‘...................................................' means 'fried before cooking'
and '...................................................’ means 'rice'. There were alternate layers of rice and marinated meat. It was a
superb dish. At the same time, we also tried murgh musallam where marinated ...................................................
is stuffed with eggs, ................................................... meat, and spices and cooked whole!
The savoury part of our lunch was finished with parathas. They're deep-fried ..................................................
which open into numerous .................................................. once you start tearing them with your fingers. We had
sweet parathas stuffed with mava, .................................................. , and ................................................... .
At the end of our royal treat, we were served three desserts: kulfi, shahi tukda, and phirni.
................................................. is a humble dessert prepared with coarsely ground rice, thickened milk, sugar, and
spices. Kulfi is a ................................................. dairy dessert made with evaporated milk, sugar, and nuts.
The Mughals created it by using the idea of ................................................. milk from traditional sweets. And finally,
we tasted shahi tukda. In Persian, 'shahi' means ................................................. and ................................................. means 'a piece'
in Hindi or Urdu. This dessert has pieces of bread deep-fried in ................................................. and
soaked in a ................................................. -flavoured sugar syrup; they are then topped with ................................................. and nuts.
Our tummies are about to burst now! We ate way too much.
We can't wait to have another meal with Emperor Akbar again!

Have you read the story of Delhi on the app? It's time to test
how much you remember. Here's a description of the rulers.
Figure out who they are and write their names and the year they
became rulers or did something awesome! Don't forget to cut
out stickers of the rulers and stick them in the right boxes below.

Like a lotus flower, the Lotus Temple shaped like a giant lotus sits amidst bright green gardens.
Built in 1986, it is the last of the seven Major Bahai's temples built around the globe. Why don't
you colour it and put it up in your room?
16
The Taj Mahal is one of the new seven wonders of the world. Emperor Shah Jahan built this
brilliant mausoleum between 1631 and 1648 to honour his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died
giving birth to their 14th child in 1631. Colour this poster and put it up in your room.

Do you want to free Gargo?
I have hidden 6 objects for you to find
in augmented reality.
Go to ‘Explore with AR’ on the app,
catch the 6 objects and
take Gargo home.
The foundation stone of the India Gate was laid in 1921 and was
completed about a decade later. It is one of the most important
monuments in India. It honours the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost
their lives fighting for the British in World War I. In their memory, why
don't we recreate it? Come on, let's do it! Ask an adult to help you.

of the rectangle. Since the breadth of the rectangle is 15 cm, 7.5 cm 7.5 cm
4 cm
25 cm 25 cm
3 cm 5 cm 3 cm
Step 2:
Cut 4 rectangles measuring 25 cm x 5 cm each. Take door B and stick 1 25 cm x 5 cm rectangle
flat on 1 of its pillars, leaving a 1-cm gap from the arch. Now, the breadth of your left side and
right side pillars will be 6 cm (5 cm + 1 cm). Repeat the same for the other pillar and the
second door B. 5.5 cm 5.5 cm
5 cm 5 cm
25 cm 25 cm
25 cm 25 cm
3 cm 3 cm 6 cm 6 cm
22
Step 3:
It's time to join the 4 arched doorways. Glue the edges of
the 4 doors and place them in such a way that both the
A doors are opposite each other and both the B doors are
opposite each other (the overlapped pillars of the B doors
will be on the outside). Have you created a rectangle box-like
structure? Good! Let's go ahead. Skip this step if you're
using a cardboard box.
3 cm
3 cm Step 4:
Cut 2 strips measuring 3 cm x 17 cm. Glue the longer
side of both the strips and stick them upright above both
the B doors. Think of it as increasing the height of the doors.
Cut another 2 strips measuring 3 cm x 15 cm. Stick both
the strips in the same way on both the A doors. To make
the structure stronger, you can put a little glue on the
4 edges.
Step 5:
Now, we're going to make a sort of 'hat' for our monument
(you know, the protruding part of a hat?). Cut 2 strips measuring
3 cm x 15 cm. Glue 1 longer edge of both the strips and stick their
edges flat on the edges of the A doors as shown in the diagram.
Cut 1 strip 3 cm wide but don't cut its length yet. Glue the
edges of both the B doors; go end to end, including the 3-cm
protruding hats of the A doors. Stick the edge of the 3-cm
strip on 1 of the A doors' edge (make the hat). Cut off the
extra part of the strip. Repeat the same for the other door B.
23
Step 6:
Cut a piece of 20 cm x 19 cm on your cardboard.
Place your India Gate on it. Now, we have a nice base
for the monument.
19 cm 20 cm
Step 7:
Repeat step 4 on the hat. Not on the outer edge,
but exactly above the strips you placed in step 4.
The length of the 3-cm strips will decrease,
of course, so measure the length of the inside
of the hat and cut your strips accordingly.
Step 8:
Remake the hat of step 5, but this time your
hat won't protrude. Take the hat inside. Basically,
as we build higher, we're decreasing the size of
the roof. It will look like a square doughnut.
Step 9:
Repeat step 4 on the inside edge of the square doughnut.
Check the length you need for the 3-cm strips.
24
Step 10:
Measure the top edges of step 9's square and cut out
a square with those measurements on your cardboard.
It's time to seal the deal! Stick your little square roof
on the open square you measured.
Step 11:
Make 2 little rectangles (bread loaves) and stick them
opposite each other on the square roof with a little
distance between them. Consider them to be little pillars.
Step 12:
To put a roof on the 2 pillars, cut 4 small squares
and stack them on the pillars. Make sure there's
some space between your roof and the top edges
of your pillars, as shown in the diagram.
Step 13:
Now, we're building higher and the size of our structure is
getting smaller. So, cut 3 small circles in descending order
on your cardboard and place them on the roof. The smallest
circle will be on top.
25
Step 14:
On 1 of the B doors, Write INDIA on the
second level of the roof.
The base of our India Gate is ready. Now, with the leftover cardboard,
cut circles, squares, thin strips or whatever you like and decorate the
monument the way you want. Using cardboard for decoration will give
a cool 3D effect to your structure. You can even cut 3-cm-wide
strips, bend them and place them inside the arches to mirror the
arches of the real India Gate.
