introduction
  • Delhi is the capital city of India and is
    regarded as the heart of the nation. The city is
    popular for its enriched culture and heritage.
    The city hosts some famous historical monuments
    and is developing with the passing of time. The
    influence of religious diversity can be seen in
    the city along with the cultural impact of the
    Mughal, the ancient Indian and the British. There
    are many beautiful gardens in the city, away from
    pollution and busy city life that provide
    opportunities to walk leisurely in the midst of
    greenery.

Famous Places In Delhi
  • Red Fort
  • The Red Fort is an epitome of the Mughal
    era in India and is the face of tourist
    attractions in Delhi. Built in 1638, it is an
    outstanding marvel of Mughal architecture made of
    red sand stone. Within its magnanimous walls, the
    chhata bazaar and an every evening sound and
    light show are special attractions.

  • Taj Mahal
  • The Taj Mahal of Agra is one of the Seven Wonders
    of the World, for reasons more than just looking
    magnificent. It's the history of Taj Mahal that
    adds a soul to its magnificence a soul that is
    filled with love, loss, remorse, and love again.
    Because if it was not for love, the world would
    have been robbed of a fine example upon which
    people base their relationships. An example of
    how deeply a man loved his wife, that even after
    she remained but a memory, he made sure that this
    memory would never fade away.

  • India Gate
  • India Gate is one monument that defines Delhi or
    India for that matter. It was built in 1931 as
    a memorial for martyrs of World War I and war in
    Afghanistan. At Rajpath, the structure looks
    amazing in evening lights. The gardens that line
    the structure are a must visit among the
    sightseeing places in Delhi.
  • Rashtrapati Bhawan
  • On the opposite of the Rajpath is residence of
    the President of India. Not among the typical
    tourist places in Delhi, access to this grand
    piece of architecture is restricted. With four
    floors and 340 rooms in a floor area of 200,000
    square feet, it has a huge presidential gardens
    (Mughal Gardens), large open spaces, residences
    of bodyguards and staff, stables, other offices
    and utilities within its perimeter walls. Just a
    walk past the monument will give you the idea of
    how grand the monument is.

  • Lotus Temple
  • East of Nehru place, this temple is built in the
    shape of a lotus flower and is the last of seven
    Major Bahai's temples built around the world.
    Completed in1986 it is set among the lush green
    landscaped gardens.The structure is made up of
    pure white marble The architect Furiburz Sabha
    chose the lotus as the symbol common
    to Hinduism, Buddhism, 
  • Jainism and Islam. Adherents of any faith are
    free to visit the temple and pray or
    meditate.Around the blooming petals there are
    nine pools of water, which light up, in natural
    light. It looks spectacular at dusk when it is
    flood lit.

  • Qutab Minar
  • Qutab Minar is a soaring, 73 m-high tower of
    victory, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak
    immediately after the defeat of Delhi's last
    Hindu kingdom. The tower has five distinct
    storeys, each marked by a projecting balcony and
    tapers from a 15 m diameter at the base to just
    2.5 m at the top. The first three storeys are
    made of red sandstone the fourth and fifth
    storeys are of marble and sandstone. At the foot
    of the tower is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, the
    first mosque to be built in India

  • Jantar Mantar
  • Jantar Mantar (Yantra - instruments, mantra -
    formulae) was constrcted in 1724. Maharaja Jai
    Singh of Jaipur who built this observatory went
    on to build other observatories in Ujjain
    , Varanasi and Mathura. Jai Singh had found the
    existing astronomical instruments too small to
    take correct measurements and so he built these
    larger and more accurate instruments.
  • The instruments at Jantar Mantar are fascinating
    for their ingenuity, butaccurate observations can
    no longer be made from here because of the tall
    buildings around.
