Delhi Monuments
Jama
Masjid
Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India, and stands across the road from
the Red Fort. Built in 1656, it is an eloquent reminder of the Mughal religious
fervour. Its spacious courtyard holds thousands of the faithful who offer prayers.
Jantar Mantar
Jantar Mantar is an astronomical observatory with masonry instruments, built
in 1724 by Jai Singh, the mathematician and astronomer king. The Samrat or Yantra
supreme - the largest structure shaped like a right-angled triangle, is actually
a huge sun-dial; the other five instruments are intended to show the movements
of the sun, moon, etc.
Lodi Tombs
Evidence of the sixth city, said to have been built by the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties
is found only in the tombs and mosques in the famous Lodi Gardens, which is
a favourite point for early morning walkers from the posh south Delhi colonies.
Chandni Chowk
It is the nerve centre of commercial activity. The narrow lanes have kept alive
the traditional workmanship which makes Delhi famous. A market place right from
the times of Mugals, this market still hosts the decendants of royal chefs as
also the famous Chudiwali gali and the parathe wali gali. Spend the most enjoyable
evening in the Chandni Chowk!
Ferozshah Kotla
It is the site of the city of Ferozabad built in the 14th century by Emperor
Ferozshah Tughlaq. The famous 14-meter highly polished sandstone Ashoka Pillar
carrying Emperor Ashoka's message of peace stands here.
Humayun's Tomb
The Tomb was built by Humayun's widowed Queen Haji Begum, in the 16th century
AD. Architecturally the forerunner of the Taj Mahal, it stands in Nizamuddin
which shows the Mughal architecture at its best.
India
Gate
India Gate is a majestic high arch, 42 meters high, built as a memorial to the
Indian soldiers killed in the World War I. Beneath it burns an eternal flame.
From the base of the arch one can get a good view of the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
