[[New Delhi]], the capital of India, sprawled over the west bank of the river Yamuna, is one of the fastest growing cities in India. It is surrounded on three sides by Haryana. To the east, across the river Yamuna, it borders Uttar Pradesh. Historically, the city has long since been the foremost in political importance with successive dynasties choosing it as their seat of power between the 13th and the 17th centuries.  Remnants of the glorious past survive as important monuments in different parts of the city.[http://delhigovt.nic.in/index.asp]

The myriad faces of the city are remarkable. In some places it remains a garden city, tree lined and with beautiful parks, but in other places it can also be crowded with heavy traffic. Turbaned Sikhs, colorfully  dressed Rajasthani and Gujarati women working in offices, Muslim shopkeepers along Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi, Tibetans and Ladakhis in the street stalls along Janpath and Kashmiris in the handicraft shops around Connaught Place, all add to the cosmopolitan feel of the city. Soaring skyscrapers, posh residential colonies and bustling commercial complexes can be seen along with the ancient historical monuments. Its boutiques and shopping arcades offer access to a wealth of traditional and contemporary crafts from all over the country. Old Delhi, which looks entirely different from New Delhi area, is about 6 Km north of the city center.
