BUDDHIST DESTINATIONS IN INDIA
DELHI: is a city that defies a one-line description as the capital
of India or as the capital of the world's largest democracy. Actually, Delhi
is India in miniature. Delhi is 32,87,263 sq. km of India's fantastic
variety compressed into 1483 sq. km Over the millennia, it has wooed rulers,
attracted plunderers, and tried historians with so many details. Today, even
as it preserves an enviable heritage, Delhi is a true cosmopolitan city
always on the move.
Delhi remains the centre of power. Once it was a
city of royal power. Then it became the seat of colonial power. Later it was
the seat of bureaucratic power. The seat of political power it has always
been. Today it is emerging as an important centre for corporate power too.
However, the most fascinating aspect of this city is its cosmopolitan
nature.
Delhi is an international metropolis with excellent
tourist spots, recreational facilities, and a history that goes back to
antiquity. A remarkable feature of the city is the extent of greenery all
over. Delhi is also a dream city for vistors looking for items of
handicrafts, not only the rich artistic crafts of its own craftsmen but also
of craftsmen from all over the country.
Delhi offers a multitude of interesting places and attractions to the
visitor, so much so that it becomes difficult to decide from where to begin
exploring the city. In Old Delhi, you'll come across many mosques, forts,
and other monuments that depict India's Muslim history. The important places
in Old Delhi includes the
Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Delhi
Gate, and
Raj Ghat and
Shanti Vana, the last two being
modern structures constructed after India's Independence in 1947. New Delhi,
on the other hand, is a modern city designed by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert
Baker. It is a spacious, open city that houses many government buildings and
embassies, besides places of historical interest. Notable attractions in New
Delhi include the
Rashtrapati Bhawan, India Gate, Laxminarayan Temple,
Humayun's Tomb, Purana Quila, Tughlaqabad, Qutab Minar, and
Bahai
Temple.
Many wildlife sanctuaries, heritage sites, hill
stations, and quaint little towns surround Delhi. Haryana, which encloses
Delhi on three sides, is ideal for quick getaways as most of its tourist
spots are quite close. The Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary and Tilayar, Surajkund,
and Badhkal lakes are only a few of the plethora of attractions that Haryana
has to offer. Move over to the nearby places of Rajasthan like Neemrana and
Kesroli and you are sure to have a wonderful time amidst nature-if only for
a weekend. Escape to the Mud Fort at Kuchesar in Uttar Pradesh and let the
cool air and scenic beauty revive your spirit.
