Diverse cultural elements which the city has been absorbing since ages have enriched it. So, exploring Delhi is a rewarding experience.<\/p>\n<p>Delhi is dotted with monuments all of which stand testimony to its illustrious past. It is an amalgam of ruins of medieval architecture and ever expanding concrete jungles. The architect of New Delhi, Sir Edwin Lutyens and his colleague Herbert Baker burnt midnight oil for 20 long years to build Delhi in a unique style. The old Delhi abounds in Islamic architecture while New Delhi in colonial one. Every crumbling wall of Delhi has a story to tell.<\/p>\n<p>If India is a book, then Delhi is its index page.\u00a0 A 2-days tour of Delhi practically offers a glimpse of each and every corner of India as Delhi is basically a city of migrants.

It is said to have been built as an imitation of &#8216;paradise'( as described in Koran )as is inscribed on one of its walls &#8220;if there is paradise on earth it is this ,it is this, it is this&#8221;. This well preserved fort stands to this day as a mute witness to the numerous upheavals which the country suffered after its construction. The fort is equally significant today as it is venue for celebrations on Indian Independence Day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, on its one side flowed river Yamuna while on other was a 10m deep moat. But now the Yamuna is more than 1km away and the moat has also dried up. The main entrance, from where our Prime Minister addresses the nation on Independence Day, leads to &#8216;Chatta Chowk&#8217; or the Meena Bazaar, a shopping arcade for ladies of the period. Now it caters to the tourists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Main buildings are Diwan-i-am, Diwan-i-Khas (once the house for priceless &#8216;Peacock Throne&#8217;), Moti Masjid built by Aurangzeb, royal baths, rang mahal, Shahi burz etc. Between these buildings were laid the exquisite Mughal Gardens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every evening a\u00a0one hour light and sound show unfurls the history related to the fort which helps the visitors visualize the former glory of this magnificent fort.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"entrance_charges\">INR 600<\/td>\n<td class=\"close_day\">Monday<\/td>\n<td class=\"open_close_time\">Sunrise to sunset<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"content_table\">\n<td class=\"place_name\"><strong>Purana Quila\u00a0<\/strong>(30-35 minutes)<\/td>\n<td class=\"align-left description\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another important monument which receives\u00a0quite a few\u00a0visitors is the Purana Quila at old Delhi. The excavations suggest that it is built on the site of Indraprastha, the capital of the famed warriors of Mahabharata, the Pandavas. The second Mughal Emperor Humanyu started its construction but when only the massive walls and gateways were built, Humanyun was driven out of Delhi by Sher shah who completed it during his reign. So the two storied red sandstone structure, the Sher Mandal and the &#8216;Kila-i-Kuhna&#8217; mosque are credited to his account. Later when Humanyu managed to reoccupy the fort at the fag end of his carrier he converted Sher Mandal into his library. Unfortunately he slipped from its stairs and went into a deep slumber forever.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"entrance_charges\">INR 200<\/td>\n<td class=\"close_day\">NA<\/td>\n<td class=\"open_close_time\">Sunrise to sunset<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"content_table\">\n<td class=\"place_name\"><strong>Humanyu&#8217;s Tomb<\/strong>\u00a0(45-50 minutes)<\/td>\n<td class=\"align-left description\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Humanyu&#8217;s tomb, the first imposing example of Mughal architecture in India was built by his widow, Haji Begum in 1565.It is again a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designed by a Persian architect Mirza Ghiyas this structure is built in red sandstone amidst a large square garden. It is ornamented with colored tiles and is surmounted by a magnificent dome. Besides the grave of Humanyu, there are also graves of some other members of the royal family. This building is especially significant as it heralded the construction of garden tombs in India and is said to have inspired the construction of the Taj Mahal.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"entrance_charges\">INR 600<\/td>\n<td class=\"close_day\">NA<\/td>\n<td class=\"open_close_time\">Sunrise to sunset<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"content_table\">\n<td class=\"place_name\"><strong>Qutub Minar<\/strong>(35-40 minutes)<\/td>\n<td class=\"align-left description\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reached by a flight of 399 steps, this 72.5m tall stone tower is Delhi&#8217;s recognized landmark. In 1193 Qutub-ud-din Aibak commenced the construction. But he could build only the basement before his death. His successor Iltutmish erected 3 more stories, the last one was added by Firoz Shah Tughlaq.The development of architectural style is quite evident. It is mainly constructed in red sandstone but in top story marble is also used. Each successive story diminishes in size from base to top and is provided with a projecting balcony. Some say it was build to signify the might of Islam while others are of the opinion that it was to make a call for prayer. In this complex you can also see Quwwat-ul-islam mosque (India&#8217;s 1st mosque) and a 4th century, 7m high enigmatic Iron pillar. To our surprise the pillar has not rusted as yet and speaks volumes about India&#8217;s advancement in the field of metallurgy. The Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque is made out of the material of the 27 Hindu temples which Aibak destructed at this site. The carvings on the pillar depicting Hindu motifs also corroborate this fact.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"entrance_charges\">INR 600<\/td>\n<td class=\"close_day\">NA<\/td>\n<td class=\"open_close_time\">Sunrise to sunset<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"content_table\">\n<td class=\"place_name\"><strong>India Gate\u00a0<\/strong>(15-20 minutes)<\/td>\n<td class=\"align-left description\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Rajpath stands the &#8216;India Gate&#8217; a 42m high enormous arch built in the memory of martyrs of 1st World War.

The temple is an all embracing one as it is based on the idea of one universal civilization. It is the brainchild of Fariborz Sahba, a Canadian architect who worked 10 long years on this project. This is one of the 7 Bahai temples of the world which though share some basic design features but still manage to secure a distinct identity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Built in 1986 the architecture of this temple is especially noteworthy. It is in the shape of a half open lotus flower. Number 9 seems to be an auspicious one. You will find 3 ranks each of 9 petals (the lowest rank forming canopies of 9 entrances), and then there are 9 pools around the building which give a feel of green leaves of lotus flower. Just a glance at the building would be enough for you to recognize the complexity in design and also to sincerely appreciate the efforts required in raising such a marvel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The huge crowd that it pulls everyday gives evidence of its popularity.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"entrance_charges\">No entrance fee<\/td>\n<td class=\"close_day\">Monday<\/td>\n<td class=\"open_close_time\">1 April &#8211; 30 September 9:30am &#8211; 7:00 pm 1 October- 31 March 9:30 am &#8211; 5:30pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"content_table\">\n<td class=\"place_name\"><strong>Rajghat<\/strong>\u00a0(15-20 minutes)<\/td>\n<td class=\"align-left description\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mortal remains of our &#8216;Father of nation&#8217;, Mahatama Gandhi were cremated on this spot on the west bank of the river Yamuna.

The most striking feature is its dome which is said to resemble the great Sanchi stupa.

The Akshardham temple complex has been built on the banks of the serene River Yamuna and lies over a sprawling 100 acres of verdant lawns. The main monument is about 141-ft high and houses a striking statue of Lord Swaminarayan. The temple represents a wonderful fusion of pink stone and pure white marble. The pink stone symbolises Bhakti (Devotion) while the white marble stands for absolute purity and eternal peace. A whopping 2 billion was spent on the construction of this grand place of worship that took about 2 years to build.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An IMAX theatre, a Swaminarayan temple and an elaborate musical fountain accessorize the massive Akshardham temple.

Each doll is meticulously handcrafted after serious research. Dolls in different modes will give you a fine idea about the culture and tradition of the country to which they belong. The Museum&#8217;s collection of costume dolls was inspired by a gift of a single doll, which Shankar received from the Hungarian Ambassador in the early fifties, to be given away as a prize in the Shankar&#8217;s International Children&#8217;s Competition. Shankar fell in love with the doll. With the permission of the Ambassador, he kept the doll for himself.
