INDIA MAIN

Delhi Delhi is located on the banks of river Yamuna. It consists of New Delhi (the national capital) and Old Delhi. Delhi is one of the greenest cities of India, with vast parks, but it is also one of the most polluted. New Delhi was built by the British and that is reflected in its architecture. All roads in New Delhi lead to the India Gate which is a memorial to the unknown soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. New Delhi is the place where the new big international businesses are concentrated and extended spacious residential areas are located as contrasted with the swarming life in Old Delhi. Old Delhi is over 2500 years old and was the captial city of the Mughal empire. It is dominated by the grand bazaar of Chandni Chowk and by the Jama Masjid which is the largest mosque in India.
