Delhi the city of many faiths and cultures.Text Srimal Fernando ( Published by Daily Mirror)




 ( Daily Mirror - Impulse -Page 6- Monday , 26 May 2014)
Delhi the city of many faiths and cultures.

By Srimal Fernando
"Dilli Chalo"   or   Onwards to Delhi! was a slogan  of  Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose  during the Indian Independence  movement . Delhi the   capital city of India positioned in a triangle formed by river Yamuna in the east and spurs from Aravali range on the Northern Indian map, provides the setting for her history. Delhi is divided into Old and New city. The imperial city of New Delhi is created by British Raj is composed of specious tree lined avenues. Connaught place   in the middle of   the city   has radial of roads spreading out in all directions. Over the years Delhi  has transformed  from a city crowed  with people and buildings to a clean  eco- friendly city  in a garden. Each Emperor who came to power  in India  left behind signs of his impact in the  form of  mausoleums, forts and mosques in the city. .Among its highest-esteemed attractions in Delhi is  the 42-metre tall hexagonal complex India Gate which is the national monument of India, situated in the heart of New Delhi. In close proximity to  India Gate is the   Rashtrapati Bhawan  the official   residence  of the  President  of India and the  Rajya Sabha with  its specious gardens  are  perfect choice for tourists to observe the spell- binding scenic views of the city. 



The other breath-taking sites visitors can see in this city are the Safdarjung's Tomb set in a beautiful garden. It was built in 1754 for the Prime Minister of Emperor Mohamed Shah . Delhi is a unique scenic destination that offers the visitors an exhausting list of attractions and unmatched experience. Among them the famous 238 feet Qutub Minar built according to Indo –Islamic architecture , Jama Masjid  that can house 20,000 people is the largest  and most splendid mosque  in India    built in 1656  by Emperor Shah Jahan and the Humayun's Tomb, the mausoleum of Mughal Emperor Humayun built according to Mughal architecture in 1565 where  160  members of the  Royal family are buried are the other interesting places to visit in this vibrant city.
Of those the most exotic popular places-of-interest in Delhi  other than the Humyan tomb   are the  Purana Qila  or Old Fort standing stoically amidst wild greenery near Mathura Road , ,Akshardham, a  Hindu  temple complex ,the Lotus Temple the Bahá'í House of Worship. A visit to Delhi   will be incomplete  if one doesn’t visit the 17th century Red Fort complex also know as Lal Qila made of red sand stones and the  National Museum that displays   a   variety of articles ranging from the pre-historic era to modern works. .Kirat Karni or one should earn one’s livelihood by honest means  and practice  truthfulness and honesty in all dealing  is one the main Sikh beliefs. Gurdwara Bangla Sahib  with a  pool inside its complex, is the most prominent Sikh gurdwara in Delhi, known for its association with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan .The convenient   Delhi Metro  is a modern public  transportation system  network  consisting of number of lines it provides various  fast links between  the city zones and suburbs.
210 kilometers  on the  Noida  , Greater Noida   and  Yamuna Expressway by road one can reach   the city of Agra where the Iconic white  marbled Palace  of    Taj  Mahal the  mirror image of  India  is situated .  Taj Mahal is a true love story brought to life as a building. Faithra pur Sikri or  the City of Victory built during the second half of the 16th century by the Emperor Akbar was the capital of the Mughal Empire. It is  a place  where  visitors could  pass through several stages  during history .(http://epaper.dailymirror.lk/epaper/viewer.aspx ) Paid Online
