Situated
on the bank of river Yamuna, New Delhi, the capital of India, have witnessed
civilizations that flourished for more than three thousand years.
Indraprastha, according to legends, the city founded by the Pandavas in the
times of the epic Mahabharata (circa 1500 B.C.), was located near the Old
Fort that stands on a large mound overlooking the river.
Since early days many dynasties and rulers from different cultural
background, ruled on its regal soil. The past heritage still survives in the
many monuments left behind by the then rulers. Every monument speak of the
glory of its time and gives an imprint of the character of the ruler. Today,
the city is a curious blend of the modern and traditional, skyscrapers,
beautiful gardens and wide tree-lined avenues perpetuate the Mughal passion
of landscaping and architectural excellence.
