Delhi also known as the National Capital Region is a metropolitan region in India. It is the largest city in India by land area. The town was known as Indraprastha, where Pandavas used to live. Delhi has been a witness to the political turmoil for over five centuries. It was ruled by the Mughals in succession to Khiljis and Tughlaqs. In the year 1803 AD, the city came under the British rule. In 1911, British shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi. It again became the center of all the governing activities. After independence in 1947, New Delhi was officially declared as the Capital of India. But, the city has the reputation of over throwing the occupants of its throne. It included the British and the current political parties that have had the honour of leading free India. The National Capital Region includes the neighbouring cities of Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and other nearby towns. Modern Delhi, popularly known as Lutyens' Delhi, itself dates back to over a century. New Delhi, as it is known today, has wide-open lanes, avenues and buildings that are worth traveling across the globe for
Named for its red sandstone walls, the Red Fort located near river Yamuna is Delhi’s most famous monument. It is greatest of Delhi’s Mughal palace-cities, outdoing even Lutyen’s Delhi in majesty. Built in 17th century by Shah Jahan, it recalls the era of Mughal power and magnificence.
Completed in 1656 after six years of work by 5,000 labourers, it is India’s largest mosque and was the last commissioned by Shah Jahan. An extremely beautiful and delicate Islamic architecture in red sandstone and marble, its courtyard can hold remarkably 25,000 devotees.
This massive sandstone arch was designed by Lutyens in 1931, in memory of the 90,000 soldiers of British Indian Army who fell in World War I and the third Afgan War of late 19th century. At night it glows warmly under floodlights and the gardens that line its boulevard are a popular place to enjoy in the evenings.

This lotus flower shaped temple was completed in 1986 and is the last of seven major Bahai's temples built around the world.
