Delhi,
the capital of India, is a city of marvellous
contrast. Its past and present mesh
seamlessly to make it an exciting palace
to visit. The sprawling modern metropolis
of Delhi enfolds within its limits the remains
of seven earlier cities. Today the imposing
forts and tombs of these earlier times co-exist
comfortable with the elegant edifices of
the British Raj and modern high rise buildings.
Cool tree-lined avenues with their whitewashed
bungalows are as much a part of the city's
charms as the ordered chaos of the arrow
lanes and busy bazaars of the walled city
of Shahjahanabad.
Delhi
is a microcosm of India a marvellousmix
of people and traditions where museums and
cultural centers offer the finest exhibits,
art and the best performance from around
the country.
Delhi's
fascinating bazaars and markets spillover
with the finest that India has to offer
handicrafts, garments, fabrics and jewellery-making
shopping a special delight.
A
major gateway into India, Delhi is the logical
start to an exploration of northern India.
It is also a part of the Golden Triangle,
an exciting circuit of the three magnificent
Cities of Delhi-Agra -Jaipur. places
