Humayun's Tomb


Probably not the iconic image of Delhi but unarguably the most splendid work of Mughal Architecture in the capital, Humayun's Tomb is UNESCO recognized World Heritage Site and definitely tops the list of must-visit places.

Then there are food stalls offering savory cuisines from every possible state for the platter of guests.

Red Fort


Once the pivot of the mighty Mughal Empire, Red Fort, or the Lal Quila, is a stark reminder of ephemeral nature of empires and powers that be. Once a sprawling fortress complex with an array of palaces, and grand structures, lush courtyards and cascading waterholes; Red fort today is only a shadow of its majestic past. The significance of this structure is evident in the fact that it was here that the flag of India was hoisted when she got independence from British Raj, a tradition which is still observed on each anniversary of Indian Independence Day.

Akshardham Temple


One of the modern marvels of architecture, this sprawling temple complex by the bank of river Yamuna, is a sight to behold.
