About New Delhi

New Delhi forener Indiens hovedstads statelige alléer med Gamle Delhis basarer og mogulmonumenter, en by af lag på lag af imperier og fantastisk mad.

Den planlagte hovedstad har sit centrum i en stor ceremoniel allé, der løber fra Indiens Port til Rashtrapati Bhavan, præsidentpaladset. I nærheden ligger Humayuns Grav, en forløber for Taj Mahal, i formelle haver, og i syd rejser Qutub Minar sig, en tårnhøj minaret af sandsten. Lotustemplet og det enorme Akshardham-kompleks er slående moderne vartegn.
