Delhi Introduction

The Capital city of India has traditionally been the seat of administrative power of India. Here several dynasties rose and fell, leaving monumental gifts to posterity.
  • The Qila Rai Pithora, bequeathed by a Rajput King
  • Qutb Minar, great gesture of an Afghan King.
  • Red Fort that Shah Jahan, the great Mughal built.
  • The Ruined Old Fort where once the wise king Sher Shah lived
  • Glorious Jama Masjid, eloquet reminder of Mughal religious fervour
The Old ‘Dilli’ is not one but the seven cities Hindu and Moghul emperors gave India.The New Delhi, the eighth Delhi, Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker gave India. Delhi Still has a majestic beauty and an old world charm.

Great monuments old and not so old lie side by side besides crisp new office and residential buildings, harmonizing the past with the vibrant present.
Thus the city is a real delight for the tourist who wish to learn about the past and present of India and Indian people.
Mirza Ghalib the world renowned poet and son of Delhi, has rightly described this amazing city as “the soul in the body of the world“
