New Delhi, the capital of India is a modern buzzing metropolitan city

with remnants of the past strewn amongst the modern buildings. Much

of New Delhi was planned by Sir Edwin Lutyen’s, who laid out a

grandiose central administrative area as a testament to British imperial

pretensions.

Delhi was established between 900 B.C and 1930. Delhi's famous "seven

cities" range from the 12th century Quila Rai Pithora, built by Prithviraj

Chauhan, to the imperial Shajahanabad, constructed by the Mughals in

the 17th century.

Of the many attractions in Delhi, the major sites are the Rashtrapati

Bhawan designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the British Viceroys Palace,

Shahajahanabad (Old Delhi) where the Red Fort is, or Jama Masjid in

the famed Chandni Chowk in the heart of Old Delhi.

Oberoi New Delhi: The Oberoi New Delhi is a newly refurbished,

luxurious hotel situated right in the centre of town, overlooking the

verdant golf course. The facilities are fantastic and the hotel is

perfectly located for sightseeing. The view from the bedrooms over

the golf course's incredible lush greenery and Humayun’s Tomb, is a

real treat in the hectic city. The restaurant Omya at the Oberoi has

been recently taken over by Michelin Star chef Alfred Prasad. Inspired

by India's culinary history, this new speciality restaurant is the best

place in town for trying a modern Indian meal.

residence.

generations.

April 2018 till November 2018. They would restart the restoration work

from the front facia of the Dome from April & move on towards the rear

side in anti-clockwise direction so that in beginning September the

scaffoldings do not interfere with the view of the Taj while one enters

the complex. However the view from Mehtab Bagh would remain

interfered between August & November as per our assumptions. At

and one to the left, descending to the next platform, from where you

step down to a new landing that is further in - and the next set of stairs

starts to go down on each side. The pattern is repeated horizontally

and vertically on three walls of the structure, so that a continuous,

hypnotic rhythm is formed by these large blocks of stone seen in profile,

etching by Escher.
