New Delhi, the capital and the
third largest city of India is a fusion of the
ancient and the modern. Standing along the West
End of Gangetic Plain, the capital city, Delhi,
unwinds a picture rich with culture, architecture
and human diversity, deep in history, monuments,
museums, galleries, gardens and exotic shows.
Comprising of two contrasting yet harmonious
parts, the Old Delhi and New Delhi, the city is a
travel hub of Northern India.
Narrating the
city's Mughal past, Old Delhi, takes you through
the labyrinthine streets passing through
formidable mosques, monuments and forts. You will
also discover lively and colorful bazaars that
boast to cater all sorts of good and items at
mind-blowing prices amidst a barely controlled
chaotic ambience. The imperial city of New Delhi
displays the finely curved architecture of British
Raj.
It generates a mesmerizing charm
reflecting well-composed and spacious streets
under the shade of beautifully lined avenues of
trees and tall and imposing government
buildings.
New Delhi has expanded and now
encompasses residential and commercial development
to the west and south, plus the satellite towns of
Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad.
Delhi has
overtaken Mumbai & Kolkata in recent years to
become the most vibrant creative art center in
India. The city has more than twenty five
galleries. Conducted tours, seminars, film shows
and study classes on art appreciation, history and
conservation are frequently organized. Most of the
performing art centers are around Mandi House and
Bhagwan Das Road.
There is an amazing range
of activity from cultural walks, talks, theatre
productions and art exhibitions to films by Indian
and foreign directors. One can find an option at
the Habitat World at Lodhi Road as well as Siri
Fort at Khel Gaon.
