Red Fort: Popularly known as the Lal Qila, this fascinating structure is a 17th century fort complex constructed by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in the walled city of Old Delhi. It served as the residence of the Mughal Emperors and was built as a testimony to Shah Jahan’s growing power when he shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi. It served as the capital of the Mughals until 1857, when Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was exiled by the British Indian government.

Humayun`s Tomb: It may be the makbara or the resting ground of Mughal emperor Humayun, but this garden tomb, which makes ample use of red sandstone is of vital importance in Indian history. Marble lattice screens, beautifully cut arches, water courses to provide visual breaks in architecture, this structure – though being a resting ground -is a celebration of the rich work done by architects of the Mughal times.

India Gate: A trip to Delhi is incomplete without visiting India Gate, which bears testimony of the perils faced by the numerous young people who joined the British army to serve them in World War I. The Amar Jawan Jyoti which has been burning at the Gate for over several decades is a tribute to the lives snatched away by the wars.

Old Delhi: The sizzle of the paranthas, the wafting smell of deep fried sweets, the crunching sound of the chaat pappdi, the delectable nihari, the colourful apparel.
