the capital of India, typifies the soul of the
country. In time the city conceals within its bosom annals of civilisations that flourished for more than
three thousand years. Indraprastha, according to legends, the city founded by the Pandavas in the
times of the epic Mahabharata (circa 1500 B.C.), was located near the Old Fort that stands on a
large mound overlooking the river.
Since those early days many dynasties and rulers flourished on its regal soil. The legacy of that past
survives in the many monuments left behind by the regents, each a chronicle of the glory of its time
and
an imprint of the character of the ruler. Today, the city is a curious blend of the modern and
traditional, skyscrapers, beautiful gardens and wide tree-lined avenues perpetuate the Mughal
passion of landscaping and architectural excellence.
More important, however, Delhi blends within its folds the great cultural variety of India; an
unceasing range of activity, a million ways of saying 'You are Welcome'.
