Delhi Tour
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.
