New Delhi
New Delhi is the capital of India, officially inaugurated in 1931 to serve as the new administrative center of British India, replacing Calcutta. It was designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, featuring wide, tree-lined boulevards and grand government buildings like the Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate. Today, it stands as a vibrant metropolis that seamlessly blends its colonial-era architecture with modern urban life and is the political heart of the country.
