The temple complex covers an area of 12 hectares. It is called "the residence of God, which cannot be moved." The main temple is a massive structure. Its design combines various Indian styles. Due to its size, it is included in the Guinness Book of Records. It is surrounded by picturesque parks and gardens. Nearby there is a cinema and a light and music fountain. Water was brought to the local lake from many reservoirs of the country.

The attraction dates back to the time of the Mughal rule. The first stone of the citadel was laid in 1639. The name is derived from the color of the walls of the fort. Hindu motifs predominate in architecture, but there are also Persian decorative elements. At the moment it is a tourist destination. However, the place remains iconic: here, on the Independence Day of the country, the Prime Minister reads an address to the nation.

The Gate of India monument is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. It was created in honor of the soldiers who died on the fields of the Anglo-Afghan war and the First World War. The massive arch has a height of 42 meters and was inaugurated in 1931. The landmark is located on the "royal road" — this is how the name of the ceremonial Rajpath Avenue is translated. There are parks on both sides of it.

One of the largest residences of the head of state in the world. It was built at the beginning of the XX century for the Viceroy of India. When the country gained independence, it was decided to place the state apparatus in the guest wing. The rest of the building is used for receiving official delegations and large events. Getting inside is problematic for an ordinary tourist: only by prior request and at certain times of the year.

At the initiative of the widow of the Mongol ruler, in 1562, a tomb began to be built for Hamayun, more like a palace. The complex of buildings is surrounded by a garden. It is divided by two channels into four parts. Since Persian architects were responsible for the project, there are details of their culture in the architecture of the main building. There are several other iconic burials near Hamayoun's tomb, including the tomb of Nila Gumbad.

An unusual building appeared in the city in 1986. 27 marble petals are arranged in 3 rows and form a single composition. The height of the temple is about 40 meters. Since a pool is built around it, it seems as if the "flower" is in the water. There are no straight lines inside the premises – this is the idea of the designers. In addition, there are no inscriptions and objects of worship. The worshipper, as it were, communicates directly with God.

The construction of the tower stretched from 1193 to 1368. The minaret turned out to be five-tiered. To climb to its top, you need to overcome 300 steps. This object was conceived as a symbol of the victory of Islam over other religions. Calls to prayer should have sounded from its top, but the tower came out too big for this purpose. History has preserved references to several suicides who jumped from the minaret.

It is located in the district of the same name. The name translates as "moonlit square". Retail shops and pavilions occupy an impressive area. Almost all the goods sold here are locally produced. You can find anything on the market: traditional spices, freshly cooked food, electronics, national costumes, decorative and applied art objects.

Gandhi's body was cremated at this place in 1948. The memorial is made of marble and is often decorated with flowers. The last words of the Indian leader are engraved on it. They translate as "Oh, God!". The Eternal Flame is burning nearby. The Gandhi National Museum was opened across the street in 1961. Among the exhibits: Mahatma's bed, clothes soaked in his blood, and the bullet that ended his life.

It was founded in 1973 and occupies the house where Mahatma Gandhi spent his last days and was killed. The museum collection consists of personal belongings of the Indian leader. A Martyr's Pillar is installed at the place where he was shot. Another notable detail of the house is the column with the image of a swastika. It shows how much the original meaning of the symbol can be changed. The Om sound symbol is also applied to the column.

At the end of the 40s, a large exhibition "The Art of India" was held in London. Since it was a success, they decided to move the exposition to Delhi and place it in the presidential residence. This became the basis for the creation of a full-fledged museum, which opened in 1949, and 11 years later occupied the current building. At the moment, 200 thousand exhibits tell about 5 thousand years of Indian history and culture.

It has been open since 1977. The most interesting part of the exhibition is the authentic trains exposed in the open air or under canopies. Among them is the carriage on which the English prince traveled during his visit to India. One of the locomotives presented in the museum was assembled in the middle of the XVIII century and is still on the move, although not used for its intended purpose. Numerous photographic materials and models are also available to tourists.

The exhibition of works of modern art in Delhi began in 1954. Later they organized branches in other cities. The funds currently number about 14 thousand units of storage. There was not enough space for the exhibition, so a new wing was opened in 2009. The area around the museum building is a kind of exhibition area: sculptures and installations are located here.

The main Sikh temple of the city. It was built in the second half of the XVIII century. From many areas, the building is noticeable because of its golden dome. The interior decoration is more modest, with the exception of the ceremonial hall. The sacred Sarovar Pond is located in the courtyard. Representatives of all faiths can visit the temple. Before entering, you need to take off your shoes. Shoulders and knees should be covered, and women are instructed to cover their heads with a scarf.

The largest mosque in India. At the same time, about 25 thousand people can pray on its territory. It was built in the 50s of the XVII century. The interior design is replete with marble arches and inscriptions on the slabs — mainly sayings from the Koran. During the service, the entrance here is closed to tourists who do not profess Islam. The rest of the time you can get inside, but without shoes and in special clothes.

The structure can be called the "temple of all religions" of India. Construction was completed in 1939. The complex consists of several interconnected buildings. Here are shrines from Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism. However, the temple is dedicated to Lakshmi, the goddess of happiness. The interior decoration corresponds to the bright exterior decoration. There are souvenir shops at the temple, as well as a yoga hall.

It was erected in honor of the goddess Katyayani in 1974. The temple complex covers an area of 24 hectares. It unites three temples at once. All of them belong to the traditional Indian architectural style. Pilgrims decorate the tree growing at the entrance with bracelets for wish fulfillment. The main temple opens only twice a year on the biggest holidays associated with Katyayani. In the other two, services are running almost around the clock.

It was built on the site of the cremation of the head of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the 9th Sikh teacher. He sacrificed his life when Emperor Aurangzeb tried to convert the locals to Islam. The guru withstood the torture, but did not accept an alien religion for himself, so he was executed. The temple was built in the XVII century in the traditional manner for Sikh structures. The central pedestal is one of the oldest such objects.

A Hindu temple dedicated to Krishna and Radha. One of the largest in India. The project was developed by the famous architect Achyut Kanvinde, and did not take money for his work. For believers and those interested in the culture of the Krishnas, the doors of the temple opened in 1998. Especially a lot of guests and pilgrims come here for the duration of religious festivals: their number reaches several hundred thousand.

It was built in the XVI century. An iconic example of the defensive architecture of the Indian capital. The name translates as "old fort". The length of the walls is more than 1.5 km, the height is up to 18 meters, and the width is up to 15 meters. The fortress can be accessed through three gates, but today only the main ones are used. Inside the perimeter, the Kila-i-Kuhna Masjid Mosque and the Sher-Mandal Library Tower are well preserved.

It was founded under the founder of the Tughlak dynasty in 1321. The ruler entered into a prolonged conflict with the revered preacher. He built together with the residents a reservoir necessary for the district, and the Tuglak ordered to work in the fort. Nizamuddin cursed the ruler, and he soon died, and his project was abandoned, 6 years after its foundation. Only partially preserved walls and the tomb of Giyas-ad-Din Tughlaq.

There is no exact data on the construction time. It is believed that the well appeared during the reign of King Agrosen. In the XIV century, the composition underwent structural changes. The archaeological site has 3 levels. Each is framed by arched niches on both sides. A wide staircase of 108 steps leads to the base of the well. The structure looks massive and monumental.

It appeared during the reign of the Mughals in the XVIII century. It was built in the image of the Taj Mahal. The prime Minister at the court of Emperor Mohammad Shah rests in the tomb. The memorial complex consists of several buildings. Some of them were inhabited by people in the past. Currently, the building houses the Archaeological Survey of India. There is an observation deck on the upper terrace. There is a large park around.

It was built in the XIV century. Nizamuddin Auliya is an important Sufi saint.

The observatory was created at the beginning of the XVIII century to compile astronomical tables and a calendar. It consists of 13 objects – special architectural astronomical instruments. By order of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, 7 such observatories were built in different cities. They, like the Jantar Mantar, are no longer used for their intended purpose, since they are outdated, but they are popular tourist attractions.

Ruins of buildings of different periods, protected as monuments of antiquity. There are about 100 separate attractions in the park. Some of them date back to the XII-XIII centuries. The country's authorities have taken up the restoration of these facilities, but so far only four dozen have been brought into proper shape. Notable buildings: Balban's tomb, Khan Shahid's grave, Gandhak Ki Baoli well.

In the past it was a settlement, part of the second largest city of the Sultanate in the XIII century. The first building is a huge swimming pool, which gave the area its name. Madrassas, pavilions and mosques were eventually built around it. Within the complex there is a park rich in wildlife, including peacocks. Many objects are well preserved, but their appearance is far from the original, so now House Khas is being restored.

The first entertainment zone opened in 2007 near Delhi. Gradually, the territory was expanded, adding new leisure activities. In addition to 20 attractions, there is a water park and go-karting. There are age restrictions, as well as height restrictions related to safety. If desired, you can buy a single ticket to visit the entire park. It offers visitors small cafes and shops.
