About New Delhi

New Delhi associe les avenues solennelles de la capitale aux bazars et monuments moghols du Vieux Delhi, entre empires superposés et grande cuisine.

La capitale planifiée s'organise autour d'une grande avenue cérémonielle qui court de l'India Gate au Rashtrapati Bhavan, le palais présidentiel. Non loin, le tombeau d'Humayun, précurseur du Taj Mahal, repose dans des jardins à la française, et le Qutub Minar, un minaret de grès imposant, s'élève au sud. Le temple du Lotus et le vaste complexe d'Akshardham ajoutent de saisissants monuments modernes.
