twisting lanes, small streets and crowded bazaars.

Delhi's eighth city - New Delhi. Lutyens designed an "Imperial
City" having palatial-sized buildings set amid broad tree-lined
avenues punctuated by Mughal style gardens, complete with fountains
and shallow pools. It took 20 years to complete this immense undertaking
