twisting lanes, small streets and crowded bazaars.

it's a city of wide boulevards impressive Government buildings,
green parks and gardens. In 1911 King George V announced the transfer

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
