Delhi: The Heart of India
Delhi is not just a city; it is an experience—a heady blend of chaos and charm, antiquity and ambition. Here, rickshaws weave through age-old bazaars, while sleek metro trains zip beneath the surface. The city is divided into two distinct worlds: Old Delhi and New Delhi.
Old Delhi, with its labyrinthine lanes, is a treasure trove of Mughal-era marvels, street food, and bustling markets.
New Delhi, designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens, boasts broad boulevards, stately government buildings, and leafy gardens.
