Delhi Has So Much to Explore, It Will Take a Lifetime Mix Four Major Delhi Has So Much To Explore, It Will Take A Lifetime by dailynews Mix four major religions, thousands of years of history and cultural development, significant movements of different populations, invasions and colonialisation and you get one of the most vibrant and profound cultures in the world. This civilisation is evident in the plentiful historical sites around Delhi. The staff at the Delhi tourist office are very helpful and have lots of free information: The Government of India Tourist Office 88 Janpath , Connaught Place. Tel:2332 0005, 23320008, 23320109, 23320266. Please note that there are various private 'tourist information' offices around Connaught Place openly claiming to be the official government tourist office. These offices are selling their own travel packages and have nothing to do with The Government of India. The local police can always be reached at 100 (much like the 911 in US) and in case of foreign tourists they do act swiftly! For Hotel Bookings..visit http://hotelrates.com Red Fort : The Red Fort (Lal Qila) is one of Delhi's top tourist sights. A brilliant red sandstone fort built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (who also built Agra's Taj Mahal) as his ruling palace. Completed in 1648, the years since have not treated the buildings kindly: the rooms have long since been stripped of all objects, the marble inlays are long gone and quite a few buildings are off limits. Still, the scale remains imposing and the gardens are kept lush and green even in midwinter. Major buildings within include: Chatta Chowk (Covered Bazaar). True to the name, this is a covered bazaar between the gate and the fort itself, now filled with souvenir hawkers. Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience). This building separates the outer court from the inner court, and has a marble platform for the emperor's throne. Hayat Baksh Bagh (Life-Bestowing Gardens). Once a grand garden of full of fountains and streams, now sadly all dry — only dry channels and acres of green grass remain. Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience). Built completely of marble, this is where the emperor received special visitors. Khas Mahal (Private Palace). The Emperor's main residence. The octagonal Mussaman Burj tower looks out toward the Yamuna River, and is where the Emperor used to appear before the public for each morning. Rang Mahal (Colour Palace). The residence of the Sultan's main wife. Mumtaz Mahal (Jewel Palace). Contained six apartments for the Sultan's harem. Now used as a museum of court textiles, carpets, weapons, etc (free). Daawat Khana. A minor palace at the northmost end of the Fort, this was originally the residence of a prince, but it was converted into a tea house by the British, a function it continues today. Basic meals go for around Rs. 60, drinks Rs. 10-20, and it also has the cleanest toilets around. Swatantra Sangrama Sangrahalaya (Museum of the Independence Movement). To the left after the Chatta Chowk, this is a reasonably well-presented museum on the history of independence activism in India, starting from the Mutiny of 1857 all the way to Gandhi. The only open entrance is Lahore Gate, on the west side. Security in and around the Fort is very heavy, as it was the scene of a terrorist attack in 2000 that killed three people; bags are allowed, but they'll be X-rayed and you'll be patted down. Tickets cost Rs 10/100 for Indians/foreigners, photography free, video cameras Rs. 25 extra. Open sunrise to sunset daily except Monday. Allow for 3-4 hours in your schedule in case of long weekends and national holidays as lot of tourists flock around there. The most scenic way of reaching the fort is to take the Metro to Chawri Bazaar and then a cycle-rickshaw through the incredibly packed bazaar to the Fort (price negotiable, aim for Rs. 20). The fort has a light and sound show (Rs.30) in the evenings between 7:30 and 9 PM depending on the season. Be careful buying tickets at the booth, as the ticket sellers here often attempt to shortchange tourists. Humayun's Tomb Humayun's Tomb in south Delhi, near Hazrat Nizamuddin station, is one of Delhi's two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Open daily from sunrise to sunset, entry is Rs.10/250 Indians/foreigners. The tomb is located in large, immaculately maintained gardens in the Persian Char Bagh (four corners) style that were thoroughly renovated in 2003 with the Aga Khan's help and are consequently probably the best in Delhi. As you enter the complex, the first major structure on your right is the bulbous, octagonal tomb of Iza Khan, a court noble who built it in his own lifetime, some 20 years before Humayun's tomb. As you pass through the first gate, you will glimpse the dome of the tomb and enter a floral path leading to the second (West) gate, which now acts as the entrance to the giant central garden. Qutb Complex This complex in Mehrauli, south Delhi, houses structures dating from the Slave Dynasty (1206-1290) and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The gardens are kept in excellent shape, making this a popular relaxation and picnic spot. Open daily from sunrise to sunset, entry is Rs.20/250 Indians/foreigners. Light-and-sound show held most nights after sunset. Qutub Minar. The most famous structure on grounds, this 72.5m minaret was the tallest "skyscraper" in the world when built (1193-1368) on the orders of Qutb-ud-din Aybak. Delicately carved, it has been astonishingly well preserved and is still an awe-inspiring sight today — it's often visible from air when flying into IGI airport! (Sticklers for archaeological truth will, however, note that the top of the tower has twice been rebuilt after an earthquake, and the base has been restored more recently.) While entry into the tower itself is no longer permitted, for Rs.10 per 5 min you can view the scenery via a little webcam on top. Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque. Delhi's first and grandest mosque, now mostly in ruins, but many parts of the complex are still standing and the sandstone decorations are still impressive. Check out the extraordinarily ornate carvings near the tomb of Iltutmish on the west side of the complex. Iron Pillar, in the center of the mosque. True to its name, this is a seven-meter iron pillar erected c. 400 AD by Chandragupta II Vikramaditya, also known as "he, by the breezes of whose prowess the southern ocean is even still perfumed" according to the inscription carved on the base. Alas, Chandragupta II's perfume has long since faded, but to the amazement of metallurgists everywhere his pillar is still going strong after 1600 years. Ala-i-Minar. Ala-ud-din-Khilji set out to build a tower twice as high as the Qutub Minar, but died after a mere 24.5m was complete. The first story stands to this day. Ala-i-Darwaza. Square, domed building that once acted as the entrance to the mosque, but is now tucked away behind the minar. Inlaid marble decorations and latticed stone screens. Tomb of Imam Zamin. Outside the main complex, next to the Ala-i-Darzawa, this octagonal tomb commemorates a Turkestani iman who was based in the mosque during the reign of Sikandar Lodi. Monuments Rajpath. A main parade route that leads to the President's residence (Rashtrapati Bhavan). Wide avenue, the splendid India Gate, and many grassy lawns. Especially nice in the evenings and at night when the buildings are lit, and the vendors come out to supply the many picnicking families. Rajghat Memorial of Mahatma Gandhi- check for closure dates/security checks around national holidays/gandhiji's death anniversary (30th Jan). Lodi Estate Nehru House 'Teen Murti Bhavan'. The house of the first Prime Minister of India. Only for people interested in politics. Free entrance. India Gate. This monument has been built as a memorial for the Indian soldiers who died in World War One. There is also a fire ("eternal flame") burning for all fallen Indian soldiers. Parliament House Parks and GardensLodhi Garden - a peaceful park in the heart of New Delhi, Lodhi garden is ideal for mornings walks in the hot season and for afternoon strolls and picnics during the cooler months Nehru Park - a large park in the South Delhi neighborhood of Chankayapuri Museums India Habitat Center, Lodhi Road, +91 (0) 11 2468 2001 (thru 2009), Most noted for its ever-changing art exhibits, plays and film shows, as well as an international selection of food items in its food court.

The layout is labyrinthine and the presentation won't win any awards, but the collection is unparalleled and contains some true masterpieces. Keep an eye out for the 4600-year-old Harappan temple dancer, the Gandhara-era standing Buddha with Greek hair and a Roman toga, the stunning miniature painting gallery, and the giant temple chariot parked outside. Entry Rs. 300 for foreigners (includes useful audioguide), Rs. 10 Indians (optional audioguide Rs.150 extra), plus Rs.

  • REPORT on DILLI DARSHAN CLASS III “What We
    REPORT ON DILLI DARSHAN CLASS III “What we learn with pleasure, we never forget! “ Through educational school trips, students can have amazing learning experiences while they are having fun. Stepping away from their regular school environment opens up their minds and helps them retain information better. Keeping the above in mind, a Dilli Darshan trip was organized for the students of class III on 25th September 2019. The children were all enthusiastic and excited as they looked forward to visit Qutub Minar, India Gate, Teen Murti Bhavan and National Rail Museum along with spending a fun filled day with their friends. The first destination was the magnificent Qutub Minar, whose history lures a large number of tourists from all parts of the world. They learnt minute details about the inscriptions and architecture involved in the making of the grand tower. The next halt was at the India Gate situated at Rajpath. The children were acquainted with the importance of this prominent monument as it commemorates the names of the Indian soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War They were also informed about the significance of the Amar Jawan Jyoti, the burning flame which is considered immortal, to honour the sacrifice of the soldiers martyred in the war. Children curiously observed some of the important state buildings as the bus drove past Supreme Court, High Court, Secretariat buildings, Rashtrapati Bhawan and Parliament House. After a delectable lunch at the Bikanerwala, children visited the splendid Teen Murti Bhavan which was the residence of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru and has now been converted into a memorial.

  • Dilli Darshan Report Class Iii
    DILLI DARSHAN REPORT CLASS III “The best journeys in life are those that answer questions you never thought to ask.” On 7th November 2017, class III went for Dilli Darshan. All eager and enthusiastic students travelled to Delhi by bus to learn more about the heritage of Delhi. The children were amazed on seeing QutubMinar, the highest minaret in India which was constructed with sand stone and marble by Qutubuddin Aibak. The next stop was at Bal Bhavan which was founded by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. It was established to give a nationwide mission for creative enhancement of children through play in a child friendly environment according to their age, aptitude and ability. The next venue of the day was Teen Murti Bhavan. It is the former residence of the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. It houses the Nehru Memorial library and the museum which was a great visual experience for our children. It also served as a tool in familiarizing students with the objects and manuscripts which represented the lifestyle of our great leader. At the National Rail Museum, students were delighted to explore different kinds of engines, coaches and wagons. Fun ride on the ‘Toy Train’ was enjoyed thoroughly by all. Delicious snacks and a scrumptious lunch at Bikanerwala were served enroute to keep the energy levels high. Elated and satisfied by the new knowledge gained, students returned bringing along wonderful memories which would never fade and always remain fresh in their minds. .
