Delhi is the capital of the world's largest democracy, India. It is not one city but seven cities. It was known as Indraprastha in ancient times. It was rebuilt seven times during different ages. Edwin Lutyens was the principal architect of New Delhi. The two worlds of the city, the Old and the New form a great synthesis and co-exist in a remarkable manner. Old Delhi can also be called as a garden city.
