Great combination of ancient and modern
India’s capital and a major gateway to the country, contemporary Delhi is a bustling metropolis which successfully combines in its fold the ancient and the modern. Its strategic location was one of the prime reasons, why successive dynasties choose it as their seat of power.
New Delhi also reflects the legacy the British left behind. The division between New and Old Delhi is the distinction between the capitals of the British and Mughals respectively. So, wherever the visitor goes he will invariably confront the city’s past. The throbbing present of New Delhi pulls one out of reflections on a mute past. The divisions in the walled city and New Delhi also mark the varied lifestyles. The walled city is all tradition whereas New Delhi, in contrast, is a city living upto contemporary international standards. Hence it is a city of the past that stretches for back into the mists of time and a present that is rich with the splendor and vitality of a great capital. Even the stones of Delhi whisper in our ears of the ages of long ago and the air we breathe is full of fragrance of the past, as also of the fresh and piercing winds of the present. Few capitals in the world can compete with the number of monuments of which Delhi can be justly proud.
COME! UNFOLD THE WONDER THAT IS DELHI.
