New Delhi- The Capital City of India.
New Delhi- The Capital City of India:
The official name of Delhi is the ‘National Capital Territory of Delhi’ (NCT). The New Delhi is the Capital city of India which is a union territory, also. It is bordered by the state of Haryana on three sides and by Uttar Pradesh to the east. The NCT covers an area of 1,484 square kilometres (573 sq mi). The neighboring satellite cities of Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Noida are comes under National Capital Region (NCR).
The modern-day state of Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) was once the part a State level society of the Kuru (कुरु) during Vedic period. As per the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, the legendary ancient city Indraprastha, is believed to had been established 5000 years ago. A long-standing tradition associates Delhi with Indraprastha and identifies the legendary city with the village Indarpat, which survived until the early 20th century within the Purana Qila. However, there is no tangible archaeological evidence which links the excavated ‘painted greyware’ at Purana Qila with the Bharata Khanda site. (Source: Wikipedia)
Delhi, an important political centre of India, has a long history of several empires who ruled it and made their Capital. During colonial era, the Britishers built the Lutyens’ Delhi or New Delhi and declared it as Capital of India, on 12 December 1911.

Best time to visit to Delhi:
There are so many places in Delhi which can be visited throughout the year. But it is advisable to visit Delhi in winter season i.e. from mid-October to mid-March where the temperature is quite comfortable, if we leave the peak winter season from mid-December to mid-January. During summer season, the mercury goes up to 45-460C in day time, so prepare your schedule, accordingly. During Monsoon season, it’s always risky for stepping out in open areas, gardens, parks or even monuments.
Best way to schedule your visit in Delhi:
Two things keep in mind while scheduling your itinerary for visiting places in Delhi. First one: what is the temperature outside? So, think about the places that can be visited in the Morning or Evening and the places which can be visited in the Noon and at Night. Second one: what is the opening and closing of the visiting places? Here, I am giving you some tips like Museums and Malls can be visited during noon when the outside temperature is more, Markets can be visited after sunsets as they are open till night while Monuments including the places where you cannot go inside in the building, Parks, open places or gardens etc. will be visited in the Morning or Evening etc. But keep one thing in your mind about their opening and closing time.
