Delhi- India’s Capital Territory
Delhi, the capital of India, is not just a tourist place in India, but a feeling, a city that is full of stories of the past, lives in the heartbeat of the present and decides the direction of the future. Delhi is the land where once stood the city of Indraprastha of the Pandavas, where the Mughals built their crowns, where the British rule ran and where today the democratic foundation of the country rests firmly.
The history of Delhi is thousands of years old. The city of Indraprastha of the Mahabharata period is considered to be the ancient form of modern Delhi. Over time, Delhi saw the rule of many dynasties – Rajputs, Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Lodhis, Mughals and then the British. Every ruler left his mark here. Monuments like the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun’s Tomb and Purana Qila are still witnesses to that glorious history.
Delhi is home to people from every state, every culture and every language of India. Walking in the streets here, you will get the aroma of Punjabi paranthas, as well as the aroma of South Indian dosas. Staying in Delhi, you can experience Bengali Durga Puja, North Indian Chhath Puja, Baisakhi festival of Sikhs and Eid of the Muslim community all together.
This cultural diversity makes Delhi a ‘mini India’ – where every religion, caste, community and language is accepted with open heart.
Today’s Delhi is not only the center of India’s politics, but it has also become a major center of education, art, technology and business. Its malls, network of metro trains, international airport and IT hub make it one of the leading metropolises of the world.
Prestigious institutions like Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, AIIMS and IIT also make it special from an educational point of view.
