Delhi
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.
