glorious renaissance. Here you will see Red Fort, the most opulent
Fort and Palace of the Mughal Empire. The fort is Shah Jehan's

twisting lanes, small streets and crowded bazaars

Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India; and Chandni Chowk, the
bustling and colorful market of the old city. Chandni Chowk was
the commercial centre of Delhi in the old time and you will see

New Delhi was designed and built by the British in the 1920's
- it's a city of wide boulevards impressive
Government buildings, green parks and gardens. In 1911 King George
V announced the transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi.
The King's architects, Lutyens and Baker, set in motion the Design
and construction of 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 only to have the British pack
up and relinquish the subcontinent in 1947.
