About Delhi
About India....
The two diametrically opposite, different yet unique and dynamic faces of India coexist even at this turn of the millennium.... In the nearly six decades since independence, India has made considerable progress. India is the second fastest growing major economy in the world. With a history of heritage, learning and civilization dating back to almost 5000 years or perhaps even more, the Modern India presents itself as an ideal Conference and Tourist destination. From snow clad mountains to breezy sparkling blue sea side, from arid desert with shifting sand dunes to lush green country sides. From ancient relics and architectural ruins dating back into antiquity to modern cities, India has it all.
Delhi, the capital city of the Republic of India, is one of India's fastest growing metropolitan cities. It has sprawled over the west bank of the river Yamuna. The city has two distinct parts, Old Delhi and New Delhi.
Delhi has some of the finest museums in the country. Its boutiques and shopping arcades offer access to a wealth of traditional and contemporary crafts, from all over the country. It is one of the fastest expanding cosmopolitan cities in this part of the world. It represents a unique amalgam of ancient history with modernity. Magnificence of the relics of ancient (5000 years old) Hindu era, glory of Mughal Monuments and the grandeur of modern buildings and shopping centres constitute today's Delhi. The varied cultural activities offer myriad experiences, which speak of the unity in diversity of this country.
