Delhi is a city blessed with rich culture. As a result of its proximity to other states, it is home to many festivals and foods. The magnificent city of Delhi has been inhabited since the 6th century and from that time until now, the city has been destroyed and rebuilt. While New Delhi, as expected, is beautifully poised with gigantic structures and large roads - markers of modernization, old Delhi is a maze of small lanes and older buildings. This blend of old and new in one city makes Delhi one of the greatest tourism sites in India.
