Delhi
Delhi is India’s capital city, with a history spanning over two millennia, having served as the seat of power for several major empires, including the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughals. Today, it is a vibrant metropolis known for its striking contrast between historic monuments like the Red Fort and Qutub Minar and modern government and commercial districts. Its rich cultural tapestry is reflected in its diverse cuisine, bustling markets, and role as the nation’s political heart.
Mumbai
Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is a major port city on India’s west coast and the financial capital of the country. Its modern history began in the 17th century when it was ceded to the British East India Company, transforming from a group of seven islands into a bustling colonial trade hub. Today, it is a vibrant metropolis famous for its Bollywood film industry, historic Victorian Gothic and Art Deco architecture (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and iconic landmarks like the Gateway of India.
