City Information
New Delhi is, of course, the capital of India. Actually it is an extension of 'old' Delhi, added on in the early part of the 20th century by the British. New Delhi is a spacious garden city with parks, broad tree-lined avenues and dotted with imposing Government buildings. Old Delhi is crammed with numerous monuments, mosques and fortifications dating back to the Mughal emperors.
Delhi is today a hustling, bustling, vigorous city, full of energy. It is an ideally located entry point for any visitor traveling through India.
Like Rome, Delhi is supposed to have been a succession of seven cities; each laid one on top of the other. It is believed to trace its origins back to the epic, Mahabharata, 5,000 years ago.
In the 12th century it was capital of the Chauhan kings. The Chauhans were succeeded by various dynasties of Muslim sultans and finally by the Mughal emperors, who, in the 17th century built a splendid capital here. Delhi remained the capital of the Mughals as they went into decline. Then, after the great Uprising of 1857, the British moved the capital to Calcutta. In 1911, though the capital moved back to Delhi, the British built an imposing 'Imperial' city here, as befitted the center of the Raj.
Delhi has had a tumultuous history and seen many invasions, from Timur the Lame in the 14th century to Nadir Shah in 1739. Although it has not always been the capital of India, it has always been a major center of power.
There are lots of things to see in Delhi. Some of the city's major attractions are:
Red Fort
An awe-inspiring red sandstone fort built by the Emperor Shahjehan in the 17th century. A son-et-lumiere, held here regularly, is worth seeing.
Jama Masjid
A beautiful and imposing mosque built by Shahjehan shortly after he completed the Red Fort.
Jantar Mantar
A remarkable 18th century observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh II.
Rashtrapati Bhawan
The official residence of the President of India, originally designed as the British Viceroy's home.
Purana Qila
An impressive fort, believed to be the site of the original city of Delhi, named Indraprastha.
National Museum
It houses a fine collection, including historic bronzes, terra cotta sculptures and miniature paintings.
Qutub Minar
A soaring tower of victory, over 70 metres high that dates back to the 12th century. Nearby is an amazing 5th century iron pillar that has defied rust for nearly 15 centuries.
