Delhi

More about the book

Delhi, the seat of empires from pre-historic times, has witnessed seven dynasties trying to found cities at its site. Modern Delhi incorporates not only Lal Kot, Ferozabad, Jahanpanah and Shahjahanabad but also Lutyens' Delhi, which was the British attempt at rivalling the earlier glory. However, Delhi, is not just history. It is a living and growing modern city, embodying in itself all the contradictions that go into making India. Colourful photographs capture the essence of this city, the capital of India.
