Capital city of the India. It is one of India's
fastest growing cities. It has sprawled over the West Bank of the river Yamuna, straddling the river. The city has two distinct parts, Old Delhi &
New Delhi. Delhi is the second most widely used entry point into the
country, being on the route of most major airlines. It is well linked by
rail, air and road to all parts of the country. The remains of seven
distinctive capital cities - among them Shahjahanabad and Qutub Minar - can
be seen. Here, museums, art galleries and cultural centers attract the
finest exhibitions.
Delhi blends an historic past and a vibrant present. Delhi has some of the
finest museums in the country. New Delhi was proclaimed the capital of India
by the British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) & is tree-lined &
spacious. Legend has it that the Pandavas, the august heroes of the epic
Mahabharata, originally founded Delhi, then called Indraprastha, around 1200
B.C. Present day Delhi is built around the ruins of seven ancient cities.
