Delhi

Description

Delhi is the National Capital Region of India, as well as the heart of the country. It is the most important megacity, continuously inhabited for several centuries and impacted by several invasions from the neighbouring states. These invasions brought a treasure of immovable art and heritage with them, that is still prevalent in the metropolitan culture of Delhi. The city is a melting pot for most North Indian states and is full of attractions. The Mughal monuments and gardens are in abundance here, whereas a few selected constructions built during the British Raj are also equally important. Delhi has several bazaars, monuments, clubs, theatres and so many other places to get around. The city gives an insight into the Indian lifestyle.
