City Description

Delhi, India’s capital and the starting point of your trip

India’s capital and the starting point of travel in northern India, Delhi was built from Indraprastha, an old kingdom of legends that is said to have existed in 3 BC. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan moved the capital Agra to Shajahanabad, the present day Old Delhi, and Delhi has grown to become the city that rules all of India. Following the Mughal Empire, India experienced a period of turbulence when British rule moved the administration to Colcatta and the economic center to Mumbai. But in the beginning of the 20th century, with the Indian independence movement that began in Colcatta, Delhi found its way back as the center of politics and administration.
