Travel Information 
Delhi
is the capital of India since old times. Delhi's history dates back to the first
millenium BC, when it was known as Indraprastha. The Tomar Rajputs built Lal Kot,
the core of the first of Delhi's seven cities. It is the epicenter of the nation's
politics, economy and culture. History is alive and throbbing in Delhi, the capital
of India.
It is often said that the history of India is the history
of Delhi. New Delhi, the capital of India, has always occupied a strategic position
in the country's history, as Hindu and Islamic dynasties have ruled from here,
leaving their imprint in the form of relics, which recapture those bygonetimes.
Delhi, is today, one of the fastest growing cities of India.
Delhi
: A Transition through Time - As you walk along the narrow bylanes of this
city of dreams, tread softly. Every crumbling wall has a story to tell. Every
yesterday is replete with history. Rulers have come and gone. The city has lived
through wars and resurrection, repeatedly rising from the ashes
Legend
has it that any man or king who creates a new city in Delhi will not be able to
last his rule. But legends have not stopped Delhi's conquerors, who came, saw
and named new cities through the centuries. Seven principal cities were chiefly
created by different rulers - some of them are no more than villages today with
splendid ruins and tales of valour while others have assimilated with the modernistic
skyline. The ruins are also a telling tale of the evolution of architectural styles
of the times and the synthesis of various cultures and influences.
