Delhi Travel Guide
Everything about Delhi is poetry - its past and its present.
The most striking thing about Delhi is its heritage. Over 60,000
recognized monuments tell of the great dynasties that ruled over
it, and of the beautiful and sharp sense of architectural conception
and design. The city liver through many a conflict, and some of
its monuments bear the scars from it, being built and destroyed
a staggering seven times. Moving around Delhi, it's common to come
across the imperial splendour of British architecture, imposing
structures from the time of the Raj.
Delhi has been at the heart of India's vibrant history.

the Aravalli Hills to the southwest and the Yamuna river, on whose
western banks it stands. With a huge population of 25,333,741, Delhi

mosques, gurudwaras, and churches everywhere in the city.
