Chadni Chowk
• As someone whose passion for food is one of the defining factors in my life, the extensive and wonderful selection of street food available on offer in Chandni Chowk, one of Delhi’s oldest street markets, makes this a great place to visit. The area is an excellent destination for any tourist wishing to indulge in authentic Indian food. • Chandni Chowk is also unique as it provides a microcosm of Cosmopolitan India situated in one specific area. Indians of various religions, languages and ethnicities all work, shop and worshipin the area in a refreshingly harmonious manner.
The Lotus Temple
The Lotus Temple is without a doubt one of the most recognisable of New Delhi’s many incredible landmarks. A place of worship dedicated to the Baha’I faith, the temple takes its name from the fact that it is designed in the shape of a lotus flower. The temple not only draws a vast number of visitors due to the fact that it is the mother temple of the Baha’I faith on the Indian subcontinent, but also because it is an incredible architectural feat and so something I would recommend to visitors of the city of all faiths.
Gandhi Smriti
The memorial museum for the Mahatma Gandhi and a must visit for anyone who is in New Delhi or visiting India in general. The museum is situated on the location in which Gandhi spent the last 144 days of his life and commemorates his immense sacrifice and contribution to the establishment of an independent India. The complex is home to the Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum and the Martyrs Column, which marks the exact spot on which Gandhi was assassinated.
