They say Delhi is the heart if India is the body! Indeed, the many strategic, location based and historic pointers of great importance make Delhi a city anyone falls in love with in a snap of fingers. Being a mirror of culture, people and civilization since a long time now, Delhi, the capital is a bustling place full of many hues!

A Union territory, with independent governance and an entire region surrounding it called the NCR or national capital region, Delhi is a wonderful city which is as ancient as the 6th century BC. It has been constantly under attention since then, starting with the famous Mauryas. Also, as legend would have it, Delhi has been inhabited since the Mahabharat times, being called Indraprastha, which was made after demolishing a mountain called Khandavprastha. Delhi is also a huge part of literature and art, as its mention occurs in many saying and idioms in Hindi and Urdu as well as Persian.

Dotted with a plenty of architectural monuments like the Lal Kila, Qutub Minar, Iron Pillar of Delhi and Humayun Tomb to name a few, Delhi has been a hubbub of activity in the recent architectural horizon as well. Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple is one of the many modern architectural marvels of Delhi. Also, many old and new markets, parks, gardens, stadiums and state of the art transport services make this city a convenient travel destination.

Delhi is the headquarters of the Northern Railways. It is an important junction for trains passing to and fro, connecting the entire nation together. A total of five railway stations constitute Delhi – New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi, Anand Vihar Railway Terminal, Nizamuddin Railway Station and Sarai Rohilla. The New Delhi Railway Station is India’s busiest terminal with huge traffic. It was modernized in the year 2007 in preparation for the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in Delhi.
