Delhi
The Seven Cities
In 60 seconds
Seven cities were built here before New Delhi, each on the ruins of the last — Delhi is India's past stacked on its present, and you can walk through all of it in four days.
Tomar and Chauhan Rajputs, five Sultanate dynasties, the Mughals at their height, the British at theirs: every power that ruled northern India built a capital on this stretch of the Yamuna and left its walls standing. Today the National Capital Territory holds about 22.7 million people (the wider agglomeration around 30 million on the UN's latest count), runs on a Metro that reaches almost every monument, and is loud, polluted in winter, generous at its gurudwaras and astonishing at dawn. Come October to March, give it three or four days, and start at Humayun's Tomb when the gates open.

The Story, in Six Acts
The full telling lives in the guide
INDRAPRASTHA · LEGEND
The Mahabharata's Pandava capital is placed by tradition at Purana Qila, and Abul Fazl's Ain-i-Akbari calls Delhi 'originally Indrapat'. Archaeology finds Painted Grey Ware under the fort from around 1100–500 BCE — the epic age's pottery — but no city to match the poem. Legend, with a real layer beneath it.
THE SULTANATE CITIES · 1052–1398
Anangpal Tomar raised Lal Kot around 1052; Prithviraj Chauhan lost it at Tarain in 1192. Qutbu'd-Din Aibak laid the Qutb Minar's foundation in 1199 (ASI's date; others say 1193) and founded the Delhi Sultanate in 1206. Then the cities came one after another — Alauddin's Siri against the Mongols, Tughlaqabad in 1321, Jahanpanah, Firuz Shah's Firozabad in 1354 — each abandoning the last.
SHAHJAHANABAD · 1533–1739
Humayun began Dinpanah in 1533, died on its library stairs in 1556, and got the first great Mughal garden-tomb. Shah Jahan laid out a new capital from 1639: the Red Fort (1648), Jama Masjid (1650–56), and Chandni Chowk — his daughter Jahanara's design, around a canal whose moonlit pool named it. In 1739 Nadir Shah's Persians killed tens of thousands in a day and left with the Peacock Throne and the Koh-i-Noor.
1857
The siege guns opened on 8 September; John Nicholson fell in the assault from Kashmere Gate, aged 34; the city was retaken by the 21st after a week of street fighting. Bahadur Shah Zafar surrendered at Humayun's Tomb; his sons were shot at Khooni Darwaza; the last Mughal died in exile in Rangoon in 1862. Mughal Delhi ended where it had begun — at a tomb.
THE IMPERIAL CAPITAL · 1911–1947
At the Durbar of December 1911 George V moved the capital from Calcutta. Lutyens and Baker built the new city by 1931; India Gate carries some 13,300 names of the war dead. Toward midnight on 14 August 1947 Nehru spoke of a tryst with destiny in Parliament House; on 30 January 1948 Gandhi was shot in the garden of Birla House.
THE MEGACITY · 1947 —
Partition brought close to half a million refugees in weeks; Purana Qila and Humayun's Tomb became camps. The city that absorbed them grew into one of the largest on earth — a Metro from 2002, Kartavya Path from 2022, a winter smog now part of its calendar. The seven cities are still there, underneath.
Look Closer™ · Humayun's Tomb
Stand here. Look for this.
What the plaques won’t tell you — and where to stand to see it for yourself.
Outside Humayun's Tomb's east wall
The blue dome nobody visits
A Persian-tiled blue dome, Nila Gumbad, just beyond the enclosure.
WHY IT MATTERSSaid to hold the grave of Miyan Fahim, a servant of the nobleman Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan — though the dome may be older than Humayun's Tomb itself. A tomb for a servant beside an emperor's; most visitors never reach it.
Qutb complex · the courtyard of the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque
A pillar that won't rust
A 7-metre iron pillar, 1,600 years old, with a Sanskrit inscription in Brahmi.
WHY IT MATTERSRaised for a king 'Chandra' — Chandragupta II, most scholars say — and almost pure wrought iron (assays give 98–99.7 per cent). Its phosphorus-rich surface forms a protective layer that has kept it from rusting through sixteen centuries of monsoons. The railing stops the old backwards-hug for luck.
Red Fort · Diwan-i-Khas, the corner arches below the cornice
Paradise, carved three times
A Persian couplet in gold on marble.
WHY IT MATTERS'If there be paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this' — the couplet usually credited to Amir Khusrau, though it appears in none of his works — carved where the Peacock Throne stood until Nadir Shah took it to Persia in 1739.
Khooni Darwaza, on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg near Feroz Shah Kotla
The bloody gate
A Sher Shah-era gateway on a traffic island.
WHY IT MATTERSIn the days after the city fell — 21 or 22 September 1857, the sources split — William Hodson shot the three Mughal princes he had taken prisoner here. The name may be older; this is the story it keeps.
India Gate · the sandstone canopy behind the arch
The empty canopy
A 28-foot black granite Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose under a canopy built for a king.
WHY IT MATTERSGeorge V's statue stood here until 1968; the canopy then stayed empty for fifty-four years — a republic unsure what to put in an emperor's place — until Bose's statue was installed on 8 September 2022, the day Rajpath became Kartavya Path.
The India Unfolded edit
What to See
Ranked — do them in this order
Humayun's Tomb
UNMISSABLEThe first great Mughal garden-tomb (begun in the 1560s; ASI says 1569) and the model for the Taj — red sandstone and white marble in a four-part Persian garden, restored over six years to 2013. Go at opening; the light on the west gate is the arrival photograph.
Qutb Minar complex
UNMISSABLEA 73-metre victory tower begun in 1199 by the first Sultan, a mosque built from 27 temples, the rustless iron pillar, and the stump of a rival minar that was meant to be twice as tall. Late afternoon for the light on the fluting.
Red Fort
Shah Jahan's palace-fortress (1639–48): the Lahori Gate barbican, the marble pavilions along the river wall, the dry channel of the Stream of Paradise. Closed Mondays; the sound-and-light show runs every evening but Monday.
Jama Masjid & Chandni Chowk
India's great congregational mosque (1650–56), its courtyard built for 25,000, and the princess-designed avenue below it — Kinari Bazaar, Dariba Kalan, Paranthe Wali Gali, Khari Baoli's spice sacks. Climb the south minaret for the Red Fort view.
Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah
The shrine of the fourteenth-century Sufi saint who told a sultan 'Delhi is still far' — and the Thursday-night qawwali after sunset prayers that is Delhi's most moving hour. Head covered; shoes at the stall.
Lodi Gardens
Fifteenth- and early-sixteenth-century tombs of the last Sultanate dynasties in a 1936 English park — Delhi's lungs, joggers and picnics between the domes. The golden-hour walk.

Off the Beaten Path
Where Delhi stops being a monument circuit and shows you the cities underneath the city.
Jamali Kamali, Mehrauli
A Sufi poet's mosque and painted tomb of the 1520s, inside the archaeological park. Who 'Kamali' was — disciple, companion, brother — nobody knows; the ceiling is the best in the park.

Majnu ka Tilla

Hauz Khas ruins at dusk
The fourteenth-century madrasa steps down to Alauddin's tank — the café village's noise behind you, the Sultanate in front.

Plan Delhi
The questions everyone asks, answered properly
Watch Out For
AT THE STATION
"The tourist office is closed"
It isn't. The International Tourist Bureau is on the first floor of New Delhi station, Paharganj side — the railway's own sign says so. Climb the stairs.
CONNAUGHT PLACE
The "Government Tourist Office"
Private agencies in CP and around the station's gates dress as official. The Government of India tourist office is at 88 Janpath and nowhere else.
THE SHOE
Muck on your shoe
Something lands on your shoe; a helpful stranger notices; a shoe-shiner appears and wants ₹1,500. Walk on in dirty shoes.
THE TAXI
"Your hotel has burned down"
A driver's detour to a commission hotel or a fake office. Use the police prepaid booth, keep the slip until you arrive.
What It Costs
ASI fees are the schedule shown on official pages in 2026; online tickets are ₹5 (Indian) and ₹50 (foreign) cheaper than the counter. Street prices are typical ranges, not quotes.
