About Nueva Delhi

Nueva Delhi une las majestuosas avenidas de la capital con los bazares y monumentos mogoles de la Vieja Delhi: imperios superpuestos y gran cocina.

La capital planificada se articula en torno a una gran avenida ceremonial que va de la India Gate al Rashtrapati Bhavan, el palacio presidencial. Cerca, la Tumba de Humayun, precursora del Taj Mahal, se asienta en jardines formales, y el Qutb Minar, un imponente alminar de arenisca, se alza al sur. El Templo del Loto y el vasto complejo de Akshardham añaden llamativos monumentos modernos.
