Delhi, locally pronounced as Dilli is the largest metropolis in India by area. The
capital city of India, Delhi has been plundered by dynasties and rulers who fought
battles just to conquer it as their pride and glory. The city was born out of a
multifaceted past that defines the present state of its vitality and ramifications.
It is amazing to witness the coexistence of both the ancient and modern world in
one city that showcases a diverse culture as well as traditional value. These varied
aspects make Delhi what it is today and worth every bit of time that you spend scouting
the by-lanes or the ancient monumental delights will leave you with a valuable acquaintance
and memorable graffiti etched in your mind and heart forever. Delhi has grown to
be a multicultural, cosmopolitan metropolis and with its rapid development &
urbanisation, Delhi is a chief commercial, political, and cultural centre of India.
