Powerup++ | #club5050 | Architecture – One of the former capitals of India (#steemexclusive / 12 photos)
New Delhi has been the capital of India since 1912. But the very place where the city is located has been inhabited several thousand years prior. Old Delhi which is also called Shahjahananbad was founded by Shah Jahan (he also built the Taj Mahal). But for many hundreds of years, the area around the city has been part of several different kingdoms and empires. One took over after the other and the city got different names after who ruled there.
When I visited New Delhi a few years ago, I spent a few days getting around to several of the most important historical sites in Delhi's history. One of the places I visited was Qutb Minar.

Since my childhood, I've always dream of visiting New Delhi but finance is the ultimate limitation.
I've read a lot of mind blowing me about the capital.
However, your photographing skills is unique
I hope you do visit one day. It's really a wonderful city. Especially the history. So many places I didn't visit, but hope it will be posible to visit again :)
