Host City New Delhi
ABOUT THE HOST CITY
New Delhi, being the capital of India, is a cosmopolitan city. Delhi abounds in relics and remains a glorious reminder of the past. Few cities in the world can claim the long continuity and status that Delhi has enjoyed. Its history goes a long way to the time of Mahabharata as Indraprastha, the capital of Pandavas. Among the dynasties (9 or 10 century) that laid claim to Delhi were the Tomar Rajputs (9 or 10 century) and the Chauhan Rajputs (12 century). With the defeat of Prithviraj, the Chauhan leader, in the hands of the Muslims towards the end of the 12th Century, Delhi became the capital of Pathan Sultans and eventually of the Mughals. During the British rule for 200 years, the country came under unified control; Calcutta became the capital but shifted back to Delhi in 1911. Since then, Delhi retained its position as the seat of governance. Delhi is India’s melting pot, dream and has absorbed, over the centuries settlers and visitors from across the globe. Exploring the city can be a fascinating and rewarding experience.
Major tourist attractions of Delhi are Red Fort, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Parliament House, Jantar Mantar, Jama Masjid, Raj Ghat, Lakshmi Narayan Temple, Humayun’s Tomb, Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar, Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place, Lodi Gardens, Akshardham Temple and Chattarpur Temple.
