New Delhi, Capital of India, is a
city steeped in diverse mix of culture and
tradition. A real blend of tradition and
modernity. Delhi’s age old monuments and
stand cheek-by-jowl with ultramodern
sky-scrapers. The city, situated on the
banks of Yamuna river, is studded with
monuments and modern complexes, park and
gardens, national memorials, museums,
galleries, churches, mosques and temples.
The broad tree lined avenues and vistas of
Lutyen’s Delhi, centered around the
Rashtrapati Bhawan and the narrow alleys
with small shop huddled together in
Chandni Chowk, inside the historical
walled city all reflect the true spirit of
age old Delhi.
Among the popular tourist locations in
Delhi are the Qutub -Minar, Red-Fort, Jama
Masjid, Lotus Temple, Mughal Gardens,
Humanyun’s Tomb, Zoological gardens and
park with attractions for the young and
the old. While at one end of the city is
south Delhi’s Qutub-Minar, a beautiful 73m
high Stone monument towering above New
Delhi’s skyline, the old Delhi of Ghalib
has within it Jama-Masjid, one of the
largest Historic Mosques in Asia and the
Red-Fort, built by the great Mughal
Emperor, Shahjahan.
A 30 minutes drive from India Gate and
Rashtrapati Bhawan is the Lotus Temple, a
marvel of modern architecture in white
marble which resembles a newly blossoming
fresh Lotus, dedicated to the Bahai’s
Faith, this is among the finest monuments
of New Delhi.
Delhi is one of the few cities in the
world with three World Heritage Monuments
- Red Fort, Humayun Tomb and Qutab Minar.
New Delhi is a city with "work in
progress" as the Capital City gets ready,
to host the Commonwealth Games in 2010. We
