Delhi, the capital of India is the political centre and a tourist delight. Being one of the oldest cities in India. Delhi has a rich culture and history that a tourist unravels while on a quest to discover the city’s heritage.
The most momentous spot here is the India Gate build to commemorate Indian soldiers in wars. This poised structure built from sandstone is a great place to have delicious sidewalk food and take postcard pictures. While the India Gate is representative of New Delhi that is modern and fast growing, the Red Fort—a magnificent palace in the world is representative of Old Delhi. This rich red stone structure has played a crucial role in the Indian history right from the Mughal rule to today where the Prime Minister of India addresses the country every year on the 15th of August.
There is a similar strong connect with the present and past in another vital structure which is the Rashtrapati Bhavan. This former lodge for the Viceroy during the British rule is now the official residence of the Prime Minister. A 340 room palace, located in a beautifully landscaped area of 130 hectares is the biggest residence of any Head of State. Every February, the Rashtrapati Bhavan is open to showcase of numerous types of flowers at the Mughal Garden. Other heritage spots at Delhi include the Qutab Minar. It is not just the world’s tallest minaret but is also one of the finest monuments across the world. The diameter of the base is 14.3 meters while 379 steps above, the top floor measures 2.75 meters in diameter. The Moghul rule has left behind a number of other beautiful structures like Purana Quila, Jama Masjid, Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung’s Tomb etc.
Delhi has also witnessed great art outside of the Mughal rule like the Jantar Mantar which is one of the first attempts at creating an observatory for complex astronomical calculations. This Jantar Mantar is one of the five built around north India by Maharaja Jaisingh II of Jaipur. The flowerlike shaped Lotus Temple is a Bahá'í House of Worship is also a prominent attraction here. Since its inauguration in 1986, this place has attracted over 50 million (2002) visitors, making it one of the most visited buildings in the world. Today Delhi being a major cultural, political, and commercial center of India is a must visit destination in India.
