3. However, if you look past the less appealing aspects of Delhi, Delhi airport arrivals
have been the most from different countries. You'll find it studded with glistening
jewels. India's capital, like a subcontinental Rome, is peppered with ruins and
monuments, remnants of lost dynasties. There are great museums, temples and
mosques, as well as a vibrant cultural scene to satisfy even the most voracious
vulture. Plus, shopaholics, you've arrived: all of India's riches, from gorgeous shawls
to jootis from Jaipur, glitter in Delhi's bazaar.

4. That is far from the end of Delhi's sensory overload. From piled-high pizzas
to delectable south Indian dosas, expect some of the best food on the
subcontinent (savory crepes) and the famous dilli-ka-chaat (Delhi street
cuisine), which, like the city itself, mashes up all the flavors in one bite.
Places to visit in Delhi & Around
Rajpath
Every 26th of January, Rajpath hosts a large republic day parade, as well as
the pounding of the retreat on the 29th.Between 1914 until 1931, when the
British transferred their capital from Calcutta to Delhi, Raj appointed English
architect Edwin Lutyens to design New Delhi. His ideas were meant to
enshrine the British Empire’s might in stone.

5. Humayun Tomb
This is the most magnificent sight in Delhi. This mausoleum, built in the
middle of the 16th century by Haji Begum, the Persian-born senior wife of
the second Mughal emperor Humayun, is a superb example of early Mughal
architecture. The top Persian architecture has been brought to Delhi, but the
two-tone combination of red stone and white marble is wholly local,
demonstrating how the civilizations complement each other.
Old Fort
With the massive walls and striking gateways, Old Fort was built by afghan
ruler Sher Shah during his reign ( 1538-45) before the emperor Humayun
regained the control of India. Entering from the south gate you will come
across the graceful red sandstone tower, the Sher Mandal which was later
used by Humayun as a library.

6. Gandhi Smriti
On January 30, 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead by Hindu zealots at
this heartbreaking memorial. Gandhi's final steps are commemorated with
concrete footsteps that lead to the location where he died, which is marked
by a modest pavilion known as the martyr's column. Photographs, paintings,
and dioramas illustrating scenes from Gandhi's life can be found in the
spectacular interior museum.
Crafts Museum
Opposite Old Fort, is this tree shaded treasure trove of museum. The
galleries of this museum contains more than 20,000 exhibits from around
India, including woodwork, metal ware, old silver jeweler, tribal masks,
terracotta figures, paintings, and rich colored textiles.

7. National Zoological Garden
This is India's largest zoo, and it is popular with families and courting
couples. There are white Bengal tigers, Himalayan black bears, rhinos,
hippos, wolves, elephants, giraffes, and other stunning birds at this zoo.
Lotus Temple
This magnificent structure is designed to resemble the sacred lotus
flower.It has 27 perfect white marble petals and was designed by
Iranian-Canadian architect Fariburz Sahba in 1986. The Bahai
philosophy is around universal peace and the elimination of prejudice,
and adherents of all faiths are welcome to pray or meditate silently
according to their own religion.
