Delhi - Capital in True Sense
The
political capital of India, Delhi,
as of today is in its seventh personification of the city. One of the most
important Indian travel and profitable hubs, Delhi finds its roots in the great
epic of Mahabharata as Indraprastha,
the capital of the Pandavas. The extensive markets, the rich culture, the unparalleled
keenness that charges the city with an eclectic assortment of the old and the
new, makes it one of the most popular cities surrounded by the tourist
destinations.
Delhi City
Has always been a seat of authority and a witness to the reign of dissimilar
dynasties, both Hindus and Muslims and the dreadful wars and revolts that have
resulted in overturning of thrones and passing of the city from one hand to
other. It has also been under the British rule for long and the well planned
and complicated and aristocratic structures of the later period can be recognized
to that period. These diverse rulers have left an stubborn intuition on the
rich architectural and cultural heritage of the city.
Places Of Worship In Delhi
The people devoted to different religions live together in
Delhi in wonderful harmony and the multinational
nature of the city is owed to the feeling of unity and brotherhood that binds
all these people together. Nonetheless, people have not yet abandoned their
traditions and rituals and scrutinize them as strictly as ever and freely
partake in each other's festivals and visit their places of worship with as
much astonishment as that of their own. This accounts for the thousands of
devotees that seem to multitude through every temple, mosque, gurudwara and
church of the city.
Temples in Delhi
Speak volumes of the dedication and faith with which they were built and the
sweet-smelling air of their vast intricately-carved and designed sanctums seems
to be charged with serenity and peace that switch letterss to the soul of the saintly
growth that attracts many westerners to India. Lotus Temple of Bahai faith is
perhaps the best among all of them and offers a divine familiarity as its
lotus-shaped structure stands as an epitome of equality and brotherhood of the humanity
with no distinctions of caste, creed, race, religion, color or sex.

seven mosques built by Khan-i-Jahan Junan Shah. There is Jamali Kamali Maszid
