There are at least eight cities on the location of the modern Delhi, among which Indraprastha is one of the first

P a g e 6 recognized settlements, highlighted in the epic Mahabharata over 3000 years ago. Nevertheless, Delhi has always been one of the major cities in the northern region of the subcontinent. India Vast, diverse, deeply spiritual and utterly unforgettable, India is unlike anywhere else on earth a melting pot of ethnicities and religions, a treasure trove of history and culture, and a curious mixture of chaos and serenity. Stretching across more than three million square kilometres, it encompasses a staggering array of landscapes, vistas and environs, and offers unparalled travel experiences from the beautiful beaches of Goa, to the compelling craziness of Kolkata, the sacred Ganges river banks of Varanasi, the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in Kashmir and the ancient, exquisitely crafted temples dotted across the entire country. Not to mention the vibrant, friendly people, and the incredible cuisine. New Delhi India s largest city, Delhi, has been one of the country s commercial and economic hubs for centuries and, as a result, is incredibly rich in culture and history. Made up of the ancient walled city of Old Delhi and the more modern sector, New Delhi, the city encompasses a staggering array of beautiful architecture, notable monuments and age-old temples, including three UNESCO World Heritage Sites the Red Fort, Qutab Minar and Humayun's Tomb.

Jama Masjid The majestic Jama Masjid meaning world-reflecting mosque is Old Delhi s principal place of worship, and the largest and most renowned of its kind in India. Built in the 17th century by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan who also built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort it s an elaborate structure featuring an expansive geometric base topped with globe-shaped minarets crafted from strips of red sandstone and white marble, and a massive courtyard that can hold up to 25 000 people. Jama Masjid is particularly impressive just before dusk, when its rosy hues intensify in the glow of the setting sun.

P a g e 8 Chandni Chowk Situated in Delhi s historical old town, frenetic Chandni Chowk meaning moonlit square is one of the city s oldest, busiest and most famed shopping areas, built in the 17th century and originally intersected by (now defunct) canals that were designed to capture and reflect the moonlight.

An eternal flame burns at one end, symbolising the everlasting legacy of this great man. Two museums devoted to Mahatma Gandhi, his life and teachings are located nearby. India Gate Also known as the Delhi Memorial or the All India War Memorial, the India Gate was built in commemoration of the roughly 80 000 Indian soliders who died representing their country in World War One and on various other battlefields, and whose names are inscribed on the structure.

Humayun's Tomb The mausoleum complex of Humayun, India s second Mughal Emperor, was commissioned by his widow in 1565 and was the first garden tomb to be built in India, taking seven years to complete. Humayun had travelled widely in

P a g e 9 Persia and Central Asia during his lifetime, and many of the architectural principles he brought back from these journeys were incorporated into the building at his wife s instructions.
