Delhi, the capital of India, is actually two cities in one: old Delhi, where traditional ways of life and the modern world combine in an intriguing mix of cluttered windy alleyways, beautiful temples, and bustling street markets; and New Delhi, the imperial capital of the country, designed at the height of British power in the country, and a beautiful, spacious city with modern buildings, open squares overlooked by the grandeur of Victorian Architecture to create a place befitting its status as the capital of one of the largest countries in the world.

Home to some 14 million people, and almost as many sights of real interest, Delhi is also the gateway to the north of India, and the city through which people often pass through on their way to the Himalayas, or to the Taj Mahal in Agra and the beautiful scenery of Jaipur and Rajasthan. It's a place at the centre of Indian life, and quite simply, the place to see and be seen in the country. Bombay (Mumbai) may well have the glamour of the Bollywood film industry on its doorstep, but it is Delhi where the pulse of this unique country runs closest to the surface, and where all the many cultures making India are most preciously displayed.

Today as the capital of India Delhi is the seat of administration and the monuments which tell the saga of a bygone era stand there. These icons are testimony to the grandeur of past and also an attraction for the tourists. With an area of 1483 sq. Kms, Delhi is all set to acquire full statehood. The charm of Delhi has attracted Emperors, Conquerors and poor in equally. It is correctly said that Delhi is a land of 'Dilwalas' or for people with heart. This phrase acquires a true colour when one goes around the lanes of Delhi. Delhi-- a window to the kaleidoscope that is India.
