Did You Know?

Delhi has been the center of power for most Muslim dynasties that ruled the subcontinent from the 12th century onwards.

Orientation:

Delhi is divided into two parts—Old Delhi and New Delhi. Old Delhi, built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, is packed with narrow streets that surround the Red Fort's imposing walls. This area epitomizes the architectural beauty of the Mughal Empire. South Delhi is the newly-constructed, posh district, with broad boulevards and spacious bungalows. India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House, and other Government and administrative buildings ( the area is also known as Lutyena's Delhi ) can be found here.
