The hub of the metropolis is Central New Delhi , an orderly plan of wide roads lined
with sturdy colonial buildings which was established soon after the imperial capital of
British India moved here in 1911. Many of the city's hotels are here, concentrated amid
the columned facades of Connaught Place , and just north of the parliamentary buildings,
the architectural jewels in the Imperial crown. Old Delhi , Shah Jahan's
seventeenth-century capital ( Shahjahanabad ), lies 2km or so further north. This is
Delhi at its most quintessentially Indian, where the traditional lifestyle of its
predominantly Muslim population has changed little over two hundred years. A visit to
Old Delhi's mighty Red Fort and Jami Masjid , India's largest mosque, is a must, and
should be combined with a stroll through the old city's bazaars , a warren of clustered
houses, buzzing with commotion, and infused with aromatic smells drifting from
open-fronted restaurants, spice shops and temples.
The other five of Delhi's ex-capitals, further south, are today all but deserted,
standing as impressive reminders of long-vanished dynasties. Among them you'll find the
towering free-standing column erected by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the Qutb Minar (twelfth
century), that marks the first capital, Dhillika , and that signalled the development of
the city that visitors see today. Walls and dilapidated pillars survive from the
fourteenth-century city of Tughluqabad , and Purana Qila , the sixth capital.
Interspersed between these historic ruins are the grand tombs of Delhi's former rulers,
plus a plethora of Hindu temples, and domed mosques, introduced by the Muslims, which
dramatically changed the conventional mould of Indian cities. Perhaps the finest
expressions of the Moghuls' architectural genius were the grand charbagh (quartered
garden) mausoleums of Humayun's Tomb , and, most famously, the Taj Mahal in Agra. The
major monument of the great Moghul period is Lal Qila , the "Red Fort" , in
Old Delhi.
