India's capital, New Delhi, has plenty of places to explore and wonderful things to do - from visiting the colourful markets of Karol Bagh and Sarojini Nagar to visiting the Red Fort, India gate and other historic monuments.
Red Fort
A 17th century fort complex, Red Fort is one of the most popular remnant of history and culture of Vijayawada. It was a residence for the Mughal emperors. It was a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a phenomenal sight to behold. The architectural brilliance allures travellers from all over the world, and embrace the cultural and heritage significance of the fort.
India Gate
Perched in the heart of Delhi, India Gate was curated by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1931. It was built to commemorate and pay tribute to the 90,000 soldiers who fought for the country and lost their lives during the British Raj. It is surrounded by lush green lawns that heighten the beauty of the mesmerising monument.
Lotus Temple
Living up to its name, the temple is designed as a lotus. It is one of the best places to visit in Delhi. Established in 1986, the temple is open to every religion. It is a Bahá?í House and a worshipping place. The monument is covered with several sacred writings, which can be read by all. Its serene ambience makes the visit even more worthy and indelible.
Qutub Minar
Qutub Minar is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the main tourist site in Delhi. It is made up of red sandstone and marble, which gives it an enthralling appearance. Qutub-ud-din Aibak commenced it in 1192, which was later finished by Iltutmish. The minaret and "victory tower" form the temple complex, which makes it a popular tourist destination in Delhi for travellers to come and get enthralled by the minar's enthralling look.
Jantar Mantar
Maharaja Jai Singh II built Jantar Mantar in the 18th century. It was established to be an astronomical observatory. It was built to predict the movements of the celestial bodies and predict time. Travellers interested in astronomy should definitely pay a visit. Its meticulous design makes it an alluring place of interest.
Rajghat
Located on the banks of the Yamuna River, Rajghat is a peaceful and beautifully maintained park wherein lies the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. This is the place where Gandhi was cremated, and the memorial is a black marble inscribed with his last words, 'Hey Ram.' Every Friday, (the day of his death), as well as on 2nd October and 3th January, that is, his birth and death anniversaries, commemorative prayers are held here.
TTD Tirupati Balaji Temple
TTD Tirupati Balaji Temple, located close to our hotel in Karol Bagh, is a newly built temple that is thronged by devotees every day. Visit this temple at the time of the day for darshan, and in the evening to witness the enlivening aarti.
Connaught Place
Named by the British during the time they established Delhi at their capital in India, Connaught Place is a confluence of the colonial past and the glittery Delhi culture of today. The whitewashed, circular marketplace, inspired by the Palladian colonnades of Bath, is home to a number of pubs, restaurants, and international chain stores.
Karol Bagh Market
A bustling market and one of the favourite places among Delhites and tourists alike, the Karol Bagh Market is known for its shopping streets. From jewellery and home decor markets on the roadside to glittery wedding stores selling lehenga-choli and sherwani, from branded apparel stores to flee markets and electronic shops, you could find it all in the stalls and stores of Karol Bagh.
