📸 PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST "ENJOYING MY CITY: Delhi/New Delhi"

All right dear @bellana You want to know about my city and how it looks like! My city is not the city where I was born but a city where I lived and served for a long time, so I consider it my home town. In fact, the city I am going to show is a metropolis with a long history.

For instance I go to this restaurant close to my office. This restaurant is in New Delhi about 40 km away from my house but close to my office.

That's right I am talking about Delhi, aka New Delhi, the capital of India. It's not possible to show all the important places of my city in one post so I will give you selected few images that are close to my heart or close to my residence.

Some images are from the places where I often go for my personal needs. For instance this is my favorite bakery in Rohini Area.

Delhi, as we all know, is the most populous capital city in the world, yet it has a lot of greenery and, as I said, a history that is unique in itself.

Today, I have decided to give you an idea of Delhi/New Delhi, the capital of India, and write a pictorial post about my favorite places in Delhi.

Delhi has been an important city at the center of political activities right from ancient times.

The Hotel Crown Plaza is my favorite hotel in Rohini Delhi.

Delhi/New Delhi

Delhi was last brought to its present form by Mughal Emperor Shajahan, which is now known as Old Delhi. Finally, when the British government decided to change their capital from Kolkata (Calcutta) to Delhi.

Delhi has been continuously under construction by traditional as well as modern architectural designers in various styles.

They have made this city into a modern city, but it still maintains its old culture and architectural heritage intact. However, the city of Delhi changes every day, so construction is an ongoing process here.

After India got its independence in 1947, the population of India, especially Delhi, has been growing at a rapid rate. With increasing industrial activities in and around the capital city.

Everything began to change at an even faster rate. Now, Delhi is one of the most populated metropolises in the world, with a population of almost 18 million people according to official reports, but I have reasons to believe that the actual population of Delhi is over 20 million people.

Delhi is spread over an area of 1,484 square kilometers, and if we include the entire area of the National Capital Region (NCR), the total area goes over 34,000 square kilometers. The NCR region, which is spread out over the nearby states, reduces the population load on the capital city. The NCR is one of the most densely populated areas of India.

Delhi, India's most highly populated city, is one of the greenest cities in the country.

But there is a significant difference between old and new Delhi. If you visit the old Delhi area, you will feel like the entire city is built, which is no less than a jungle of concrete.

Famous Places and Buildings in Delhi
I begin with Qutub Minar, which is one of the highest towers in India at 73 meters high and was built at the end of the 12th century.

Qutub Minar is considered one of the best historical monuments in the world. It was built during the Tughlak and Aibak dynasties. Qutub Minar is one of the most visited buildings. It has seven floors, but tourists are allowed to visit only up to the sixth.

Here is one of the most important buildings in Delhi, the Jama Masjid. This mosque is perhaps the largest mosque in India. People from all over the world visit this mosque, no matter what religion they follow.

Jama Masjid has a unique design constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan that can accommodate a large capacity. It is a huge mosque with two minarets. This mosque can accommodate over 25,000 people at a time for offering prayers.

Jama Masjid

While you are in the Jama Mosque area, visit Chandni Chowk, one of the most crowded markets in old Delhi.

Finally, this metro station Anand Vihar is closest to my residence

https://w3w.co/honeybees.baseballs.modern

You can visit anywhere in Delhi from this metro station. We have some finest footpath markets in this area that sell almost everything in electronics, clothes and household items. But never forget to make a bargain as they might tell you double or triple the actual price of these items which mostly are not branded products.
