Delhi India Tourism
New Delhi, the capital and the third largest city of India is a fusion of
the ancient and the modern. Standing along the West End of Gangetic Plain,
the capital city, Delhi, unwinds a picture rich with culture, architecture
and human diversity, deep in history, monuments, museums, galleries, gardens
and exotic shows. Comprising of two contrasting yet harmonious parts, the
Old Delhi and New Delhi, the city is a travel hub of Northern India.
Narrating the city's Mughal past, Old Delhi, takes you through the labyrinthine
streets passing through formidable mosques, monuments and forts. You will
also discover lively and colorful bazaars that boast to cater all sorts
of good and items at mind-blowing prices amidst a barely controlled chaotic
ambience. The imperial city of New Delhi displays the finely curved architecture
of British Raj.
It generates a mesmerizing charm reflecting well-composed and spacious
streets under the shade of beautifully lined avenues of trees and tall
and imposing government buildings.
New Delhi has expanded and now encompasses residential and commercial
development to the west and south, plus the satellite towns of Noida,
Gurgaon and Faridabad.
Delhi has overtaken Mumbai & Kolkata in recent years to become the
most vibrant creative art center in India. The city has more than twenty
five galleries. Conducted tours, seminars, film shows and study classes
on art appreciation, history and conservation are frequently organized.
Most of the performing art centers are around Mandi House and Bhagwan
Das Road.
There is an amazing range of activity from cultural walks, talks, theatre
productions and art exhibitions to films by Indian and foreign directors.
One can find an option at the Habitat World at Lodhi Road as well as Siri
Fort at Khel Gaon.
