About Delhi

Delhi is a palimpsest, bearing the complexities, the contradictions, the beauty and the dynamism of a city where the past coexists with the present. Many dynasties ruled from here and the city is rich in the architecture of its monuments.

Delhi is just not just a city but a fascinating book-- a book which narrates the history of India. The city was built and destroyed seven times. It's a wonder that, seven times, this city went through the pain of being built, broken and rebuilt.

The city has been witness to the various events which has brought India through the history books.

Today as the capital of India Delhi is the seat of administration and the monuments which tell the saga of a bygone era stand there. These icons are testimony to the grandeur of past and also an attraction for the tourists.

Delhi is divided into two parts; First, the old Delhi or Delhi, which was one of the capitals of Muslim India between the 12th and 19th centuries. Old forts, mosques and monuments related to India's Muslim history are located here.

Second, the New Delhi, which is the imperial city which was created as the capital by the British. It is spread over a wide area and is lined with imposing boulevards.

The charm of Delhi has attracted Emperors, Conquerors and poor in equally. It is correctly said that Delhi is a land of 'Dilwalas' or for people with heart. This phrase acquires a true colour when one goes around the lanes of Delhi. Delhi - a window to the kaleidoscope that is India.

Delhi is a major travel gateway into India. It is one of India's busiest entry points for overseas airlines and is on the overland route access across Asia. Delhi is the second-largest metropolis in India with a population of 13 million, and with an extended metropolitan population of almost 22 million.
