The adventurous, the ambitious, and the brave all sought its throne. For centuries, invaders crossed the mighty Himalayas, lured by the promise of power and fortune. Delhi, a city that has been the heart of mighty empires, has witnessed it all.

Spanning around 200 square kilometers, this historic hub became the base of powerful monarchs across different eras, each giving the city a new name and identity—Dillika, Siri, Tughlakabad, Jahanpanah, Firozabad, Purana Qila, and Shahjahanabad. These seven cities laid the foundation for Delhi’s rich and colorful heritage, turning it into a vibrant center of learning, culture, art, architecture, and commerce.

Emerging from the shadows of its illustrious past, New Delhi became the eighth city, the proud capital of modern India and its seat of government.

As one of the oldest capital cities in the world, Delhi is a treasure trove of legends, history, mysteries, and secrets. Its streets and monuments hide stories of triumph and defeat, riches and ruin, artists and royalty, saints and rebels, poets and thinkers.

Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey to uncover the hidden tales of this ancient megalopolis? Delhi awaits with its endless stories and mysteries!
