1. India Gate

This 42 meter high "Arc-de-Triomphe" like archway situated in the heart of Delhi city is much taller in the hearts of India. Formerly known as All India War Memorial, India Gate was built to commemorate the death of 70,000 British Indian soldiers who died during First World War between 1914-21.

Even though the India Gate was constructed as a war memorial, the architectural style of the monument makes it appear like an epitome of triumph. Much similar to Arch of Constantine, outside the Colosseum in Rome, India gate was designed by Sir Edward Lutyens.

India Gate got an additional structure in the form of a black marble plinth, with a reversed rifle capped by a soldier’s helmet after the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. This structure is situated beneath the memorial archway and is bounded by flames on four eternal sides. This is called Amar Jawan Jyoti. India Gate is counted amongst the most significant war memorials in the country.

Red Fort was built under the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the year 1639. It was made on the lines of Shah Jahan's palace in his fortified capital Shahanabad. It was called Red Fort because of its massive closed walls built in red stone. The palace not only showcases the architectural brilliance of Shah Jahan but also gives a reasonably good picture of Islamic architecture of those times.

Located at the center of Delhi, Lal Quila houses many museums and pavilions. Each pavilion of Lal Quila speaks volumes about the valor and pomp of Mughal empire.

The architectural elements of Lal Quila reflect a typical Mughal building and showcase a fusion of Timurid and Persian traditions. However, the fort saw enough destruction during the invasion of Mughal Emperor Nadir Shah in 1747, followed by the intrusion of British in the Revolt of 1857.

However, the Red Fort has not lost its sheen. It still stands magnanimous in the cultural and political scene of the country. Each year, on the Independence Day (15th August), India’s Prime Minister hoists the Indian Flag and delivers his speech to the nation. The Red Fort was honored to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

Red Fort is a major attraction for tourists visiting the city all around the year. Chatta Chowk, its vaulted arcade is a local market that sells tourists trinkets. One can reach the main compound of Lal Quila after passing through the Chatta Chowk.

4. Humayun’s Tomb

The tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun, called Humayun’s Tomb, was built in Delhi in 1569-70. The construction of Humayun’s Tomb was commissioned by his first wife and chief consort Empress Bega Begum.

It was designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad along with some Persian architects, who were chosen by the Begum. Located in Nizamuddin East, Humayun’s Tomb is the first garden tomb of Indian sub-continent. It was declared UNESCO World Heritage SIte in 1993.

5. Connaught Place

Connaught Place is one of the largest commercial and financial centers of the country and the world. Popularly known as CP, the place houses the headquarters of some of the biggest Corporates. Besides, it is a fashion destination too. Some of the biggest brands in the world have their showrooms in Connaught Place.

It is worth mentioning here that Connaught Place is one of the most expensive real estate in the world. CP was termed as the showpiece of Lutyens’ Delhi. Courtesy its fantastic structure and architecture, Connaught Place is considered to be one of the top heritage sites of the city and pride of the country. The place is named after Prince Arthur, 1st Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. The marketplace was built between 1929 - 1933 and is still a masterpiece in its own right.

The Georgian architecture of Connaught Place is borrowed from Royal Crescent in Bath. Connaught Place is built in a circle and has two floors. The idea was to provide commercial space on the ground floor and residential area on the top level.

CP is divided into two concentric circles, bifurcating the place into the inner circle, middle circle, and outer circle. The three circles are joined by the seven roads emerging from the inner central park.

The government wanted to build New Delhi Railway Station in CP, but the plan couldn’t materialize due to the scarcity of space. Hence, the station was built in Paharganj area, next to Connaught Place. Connaught Place is famous not just for its architecture and heritage, but also for its cinemas and eateries.

Earlier, traders from Kashmere gate area used to travel to this marketplace. But later, it became the entertainment hub of the elite. Regal Cinema, the first cinema of Connaught Place used to host favorite concerts, ballet performances, and theatre groups. Odean and Rivoli cinemas came up later.

Connaught Place is also known for Wenger’s, the first pastry shop in the city, set up by a Swiss Couple. The pastry shop exists to date.

Post independence, Connaught Place got its first underground market, called Palika Bazaar. It was set up in the empty block under the inner circle. The Bazaar has expanded its wings towards the outer circle now.

6. Qutub Minar

Qutab Minar, Qutb Minar or Qutub Mina spell it as it suits you. Spelling could defer from historian to historian, but the charm of the building remained the same throughout the history. This 73-meter tall minaret has five stories. Interestingly, the base diameter of the structure is 14.3 meters, while it slims down to 2.7 meters as it approaches the top.

Qutub Minar draws inspiration from Minaret of jam, built in Afghanistan. It is believed that Qutab Ud-din Aibak, the founder of Delhi Sultanate, started building the minaret around 1192. He is credited to have built the first floor of the five-storeyed minaret. However, the task was taken up by Aibak’s son-in-law and successor, Iltutmish, who has added three more stories to the minaret in the year 1220.

The Qutab Minar that you see today was, however, completed by Firoz Shah Tughlaq. There was a lightning strike in 1369 that had destroyed the top floor built by Iltutmish. Tughlaq not just repaired the damaged floor, but also constructed another deck on top of the building to complete it. Sher Shah Suri made another addition to the building while Humayun was in exile. He created an entrance to the minaret as well.

Qutub Minar is not the only place to visit in the minar complex. It is surrounded by a lot of places with historical significance. The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is in the same premises and is as old as the minaret itself. There is an iron pillar, which is very old and popular.

Let’s talk about the architecture of the minaret. As mentioned earlier, the makers have drawn inspiration from Afghanistan Minaret of Jam. The incorporation of looped bells, lotus borders, and garlands in its carving give it the local effect. Qutub Minar has stood the tests of time and rulers. The place is definitely worth a visit.

7. Lajpat Nagar Market

Delhi is a shopper’s delight because of places like Lajpat Nagar market. It's a residential and commercial place in the southern part of Delhi. Named after Lala Lajpat Rai, the Lion of India, the place is extremely popular amongst markets across the nation.

The ladies salwar suit market of Lajpat Nagar is famous worldwide. The kind of variety you get there is unmatchable. Besides, the garments and textiles shops in Central Market are a delight. You get the latest and unique fabrics at the most reasonable costs.

Nowadays, it is a preferred location for travelers from places like Middle East, Afghanistan, Africa, who travel to India for medical aid or education.

20 top things to do in Delhi to get the most of your trip

Oct 18, 2021 • 8 min read

The streets of Delhi burst with vibrant colors © Finn stock / Shutterstock

Delhi serves up an astounding cornucopia of history, culture, cuisine, commerce and street life, with countless sights and activities to keep visitors thoroughly engaged.

At first glance, the Indian capital can seem an overwhelming place to negotiate but give it time and you'll feel the chaos subside, revealing delicate vignettes of daily life and layer upon layer of ancient history, built up over 2000 years of settlement.

Here are 20 great things to do in India ’s fast-paced and frantic, but fun-filled capital.

1. Sample Delhi’s delectable street food

The street food in Delhi is legendary. Tangy delights such as chaat papdi (fried wafers loaded with potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt and chilli) or golgappas (fried hollow dough filled with chickpeas and spicy potatoes), are de rigueur in Old Delhi. Also seek out stuffed parathas (fried breads with vegetable fillings), sizzling kebabs and treacle-dripping jalebis (sweet swirls of fried dough).

2. Admire the grandeur of Humayun's Tomb

Humayun's Tomb combines Persian elegance with fine Indian craftsmanship, and its graceful lines are mirrored by the fiercely symmetrical Mughal Gardens that surround it. For the best photos, stroll here at dusk, or simply admire the architecture at any time of day. Believed to be the precursor of its more famous look-alike, the Taj Mahal , this Unesco-protected monument is well worth the relatively high entry fee.

3. Listen to qawwalis

The best place to hear qawwalis (devotional music) is at the dargah (tomb) of the Sufi saint Nizam-ud-din Auliya ; resounding professions of faith ring out around sunset at one of Sufism’s most revered sites. Buried close to his spiritual master is Amir Khusro, a celebrated Sufi poet from the 13th century. The qawwalis take on a special hue during Basant, the festival of Spring, when both dargah and devotees are adorned with yellow robes and blooms.

4. Explore the Red Fort

Explore the great sandstone carcass of the Red Fort , and you'll be whisked back to the last days of the Mughal empire. Though some areas are under restoration, the mixture of graceful Islamic structures and British-era additions still spins a tale of duelling empires. If possible, catch the Republic Day celebrations (January 26) here when the Prime Minister hoists the Tricolor from its resplendent ramparts, and browse the wares on sale in the Meena Bazar, once the exclusive domain of the ladies of the Mughal court.

5. Take the stress out of sight-seeing on a bus tour

You can catch an easy glimpse of Delhi on a Ho-Ho Bus tour for as little as Rs 500 a day. Except for Mondays, tourist buses run throughout the day at regular intervals, stopping at the biggest sights and giving visitors plenty of time to get familiar with the city's history and heritage. Choose from half-day, one-day or two-day tours depending on availability.

6. Go on a shopping spree

Some of the best shopping in the city can be found at Delhi's government emporiums, a string of temples to Indian craftsmanship lined up along Baba Kharak Singh Marg close to Connaught Place . For bargains, hit the flea market stalls nearby on Janpath and in Sarojini Nagar. For a one-stop shop for crafts from around India, look no further than Dilli Haat , near the INA metro stop, which also serves up great street food.

7. Lose yourself in Old Delhi

Get lost and confused in the narrow bazaars of Old Delhi, and feel like you've wandered into the medieval period. Every wrong turn springs a new surprise as you stumble upon such hidden delights as the home of the legendary Urdu poet, Mirza Ghalib, the towering Jama Masjid , India's largest mosque or Khari Baoli – Asia’s largest spice bazaar. On your explorations, keep an eye out for a series of well-preserved and colourfully painted Jain havelis (merchant's houses), built in the 18th century.

Explore Old Delhi effortlessly with GetYourGuide.  Book your tour today .

8. Explore the sprawling Sunder Nursery

To restore your inner equilibrium, step into the serenity of the 90-acre Sunder Nursery , a beautifully restored park dotted with Mughal monuments, water features and several hundred species of trees. Alive with birds and butterflies, the flowerbeds surround amphitheatres where you can see performances by talent from nearby Nizamuddin Basti.

You can visit these twin cities in one go, and it won’t be very hectic either.

8 Cool Places In Delhi That Most Tourists End Up Overlooking

Delhi is the city of monuments. While it has 174 protected and cared for monuments, it has hundreds more that are still a mystery. We often make the same visits to Red Fort, Old Fort, Hauz Khas and more but end up overlooking some of the city’s equally attractive but much less visited and explored spots. If you fancy yourself as a true Delhiite, make sure you cover your bases by visiting the spots on this list of Delhi’s overlooked spots ASAP! 

1. Mirza Ghalib Ki Haveli

Picture Credits:  Pradeep Verma

Mirza Ghalib has been at the centre of fantasy for all Delhiites. We rush in packs to see his poetry readings and plays at Mandi House. But his haveli in Chandni Chowk hasn't yet caught popularity with the masses, which is such a shame as it’s the perfect spot to sit and feel the way his poetry readings would have felt with him living in the 1800s. The ASI Protected Monument is a beautiful reminder of Ghalib, his work and his life, perfect for all history, Ghalib and poetry fans. 

Where | Haveli Mirza Galib - 2469, Gali Captain, Baradari, Balli Maran

2. Champa Gali 

Picture Credits:  foodietraveller1

Delhi’s secret cultural hub is reminiscent of Athenian streets - in soft flooring surfaces, twinkling with fairy lights, buzzing with drinks and conversations and headed by colourful decorative hangings. Champa Gali apart from being the perfect date spot is also the perfect place in the city to get away from the buzz of it all. For a charming ambient night with a rustic, old-world charm, visit Champa Gali and we promise you it would be different from any date you’ve ever been on in the city. 

Where | Champa Gali - Khasra 258, Lane, Number 3, Westend Marg, Saidulajab, Saket

3. Jahaz Mahal

Picture Credits:  pawan.kamrani

Can you look at this picture and honestly tell us you’re not surprised this is in Delhi? No, this is not part of the Red Fort or Old Fort Complex. This is a marvellous architectural timepiece located in Mehrauli named Jahaz or ship due to its reflection in the Hauz-i-Shamshi water body built around it. While the actual origins of the monument are still in contention, it is believed that it was built during the reign of the Lodhi dynasty as a literal pleasure resort. And to date what a pleasure the monument is to look at!

Where | Jahaz Mahal - Talaab lane, Aam Bagh, Khandsa Colony, Mehrauli 

4. Chota Qutub Minar

Picture Credits:  enroute_indian_history_

We can safely place our bets when we say that most people didn’t even know about the existence of a ‘Chota Qutub Minar’ in our very own Delhi. Shahjahan’s Forgotten Mini Qutub is located in Uttam Nagar and is a shorter, 5 storey version of the original minaret. Built in the same stone with the same techniques as the Qutub, the Kaushal Minar is like finding a hidden treasure in the city. 

Where | Kaushal Minar - Hastsal Village, Uttam Nagar

5. Satpula Bridge 

Picture Credits:  delhiexplorer

Saket has a skew of malls to its name but it is also home to some glorious monuments, one of which is the often wrongly overlooked- Satpula Bridge. Satpula is a Hindi word meaning saat pul or seven bridges and the structure still stands as a testament to the name. The structure is today in a dilapidated condition but looks glorious and completely different set against the vast greens it is in. For a completely off-beat way of looking at Delhi, take the road less travelled and head to Satpula for a peaceful afternoon. 

Where | Satpula - Khidki Village, Malviya Nagar

6. Bhardwaj Lake Of Asola

Picture Credits:  deepanshu_rajora

To come here in the morning with friends, cook, play, and just be, how fun would it be to have a campfire here for dinner and maybe set up a grill? Or maybe how different would it be to cycle around the lake early morning on the weekends? Well now that you know this isn't a mirage but an actual tranquil water body in the city, we say head over ASAP!

Where | Bharadwaj Lake - Shooting Range Rd, Asola Wildlife Sanctuary, Tughlakabad

7. Naughara

Picture Credits:  nirmaldayani

Colourful doors and patterned tiles - aren't these the latest fads to grab us all? If you’re looking for a place in Delhi to be clicked against that gives you the perfect backdrop allowing you to flaunt your outfits in dreamy poses, then Naughara is just for you. The old architecturally stunning gateways give the perfect chance to stop time and experience the old world charm of paranthe waali gali. 

Where | Naughara - Gali Mata Wali, Kinari Bazar, Katra Shah N Shah, Chandni Chowk

8. Bara Gumbad

Picture Credits: arjunphotographer

The Lodi Garden is one of the most popular attractions in the city, however, tourists often miss this hidden gem tucked in the heart of the Lodhi Gardens - the Bara Gumbad or the ‘Big Dome’. It was built back in the 15th century by Sikander Lodi and is the entryway to the three-domed mosque. While visiting here, you can also look out for Athpula, an eight-pierced bridge stretching across a tranquil lake, built during Emperor Akbar’s reign. Head over here to revel in the charm of these majestic architectural pieces ASAP!

Where | Bara Gumbad - Lodhi Gardens, Lodi Estate

Well, don't you feel excited like a tourist visiting a new city for the very first time? So what are you waiting for? Get moving and visit all 8 spots in one long day!

In its early morning bulletin, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted light to moderate intensity rain and gusty winds with a speed of 30-50 kmph in many places of Delhi; NCR (Loni Dehat, Hindon Air Force Station, Bahadurgarh, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Chhapraula, Noida, Dadri and Greater Noida); Gurugram, Faridabad, Manesar, Ballabhgarh) Sonipat, Kharkhoda, Mattanhail, Jhajjar, Farukhnagar, Sohana and Palwal in Haryana; and Baraut, Baghpat, Meerut, Khekra, Modinagar, Kithor, Pilakhua, Hapur, Gulaoti, Sikandrabad and Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh during the next two hours.

On Wednesday, the national capital recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius, over four notches above normal. The minimum temperature was 35.2 degrees Celsius, the highest in June since 1969 .

Temperatures in Delhi have remained above 40 degrees Celsius since May 12. In these 36 days, the city saw 16 days when the mercury reached or surpassed 45 degrees Celsius.

In the national capital, hospitals reported a spike in cases of heatstroke and heat exhaustion and several deaths in the last two days. At the Centre-run Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, authorities received 22 patients in the last two days. There were five deaths and 12 patients are on ventilator support.

At the Safdarjung Hospital, there have been a total of 60 heatstroke cases, including 42 patients who have been admitted. The hospital reported six casualties, including a 60-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man who died on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the IMD said heatwave to severe heatwave conditions prevailed in parts of Uttar Pradesh, south Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Punjab and pockets of Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and the Jammu division.

Maximum temperatures ranged between 43-45 degrees Celsius in many parts of Punjab, Delhi, in some parts of Haryana-Chandigarh, north Rajasthan and in isolated pockets of Uttar Pradesh. At 45.1 degrees Celsius, Kanpur recorded the highest maximum temperature in the country.

CONDITIONS FAVOURABLE FOR MONSOON ADVANCEMENT

Conditions were now favourable for further advancement of the Southwest Monsoon , which had made no significant progress between June 12 and 18, extending the wait for rainfall in North India, which is reeling from the sweltering heat.

Southwest Monsoon was expected to advance into some more parts of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, more parts of West Bengal and some parts of Bihar and Jharkhand in the next two to three days.

In the Northeast, widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied with thunderstorm, lightning and gusty winds (30-40 kmph) was predicted in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal during the next five days, the IMD said.

Isolated heavy rainfall was forecast in Bihar between June 20 and 23, and Jharkhand on June 20 and 21, while scattered to fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied with thunderstorm, lightning was likely over Gujarat, Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada during the next five days.

Fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied with thunderstorm, lightning and gusty winds (30-40 kmph) was likely over Karnataka, Kerala, Mahe and Lakshadweep during the next five days, the Met Department said.

Women make up 30.7% of new PGDM batch at XLRI Delhi-NCR, increase in non-engineers

A significant portion (33.51 per cent) comprises fresh graduates, while others bring varying degrees of work experience, with nearly 40 per cent having more than a year of professional engagement..

As many as 210 students have been admitted to XLRI Delhi-NCR’s PG Diploma in business management programme. In a notable shift, women students participation has surged by 25 per cent compared to the previous batch, constituting a significant 30.7 per cent of the new cohort, as per a statement by the institute.

Another noteworthy trend, the institute said, is the balance between engineers and non-engineers within the batch. While engineers still constitute a slightly higher proportion at 51.3 per cent, the data suggests a gradual decline in the proportion of engineering graduates over the past four years. Conversely, non-engineers have seen a steady increase, comprising 48.7 per cent of the current cohort. This shift underscores a broader trend of diversification in academic backgrounds, enriching the learning environment with a range of perspectives and expertise.

The students from non-engineering background between 2021 and 2024 were 35.6% in 2021, 30% in 2022, 37.7% in 2023 and 48.7% in 2024, whereas the proportion of engineering background students was 64.4% in 2021, 70% in 2022, 62.3% in 2023. It is 51.3% in 2024.

Examining the work experience data, XLRI 2024-26 batch reflects a diverse range of professional backgrounds. A significant portion (33.51 per cent) comprises fresh graduates, while others bring varying degrees of work experience, with nearly 40 per cent having more than a year of professional engagement. And one in four students has more than two years of experience.

Fr Dr KS Casimir, director of XLRI Delhi-NCR, said: “This incoming class represents a diverse spectrum of backgrounds and experiences, demonstrating our dedication to diversity and academic performance. The huge rise in female representation demonstrates our commitment to gender inclusion in higher education. Furthermore, the balanced mix of academic backgrounds, including engineers and non-engineers, shows a dynamic learning atmosphere rich in varied viewpoints.”

“The diversity of work experience among our students, ranging from recent graduates to seasoned professionals, contributes to the richness of classroom discussions and collaborative learning,” he added.

XLRI offers specialisations in seven branches – economics, environment society and governance (ESG), finance, information systems, marketing, production, operations and decision sciences and strategy. A student can opt for a maximum of two areas only for concentration, XLRI said.

Vashu Bhagnani has denied facing financial troubles despite criticism for his box office failures and allegations of non-payment of dues. He clarified that his office building is being converted into luxury apartments and revealed that he is planning an animation series for his next project. Bhagnani has invited those with concerns to meet him for resolution within 60 days.
