Hello all!
Today, I am sharing with you some photographs of the places that I visited during the last summer. Here is some information regarding Delhi, the capital of the country, India and some photographs captured by me.
Note - These all are high-resolution images, so it might take a while to get displayed on the screen.
So, let's start.
Delhi, India’s capital territory, is a massive metropolitan area in the country’s north. In Old Delhi, a neighbourhood dating to the 1600s, stands the imposing Mughal-era Red Fort, a symbol of India, and the sprawling Jama Masjid mosque, whose courtyard accommodates 25,000 people. Nearby is Chandni Chowk, a vibrant bazaar filled with food carts, sweets shops and spice stalls.
Did you know: Delhi is the highest-income Indian city by GDP per capita ($4,600 nominal).

Qutub Minar
The Qutub Minar also spelt as Qutab Minar, or Qutb Minar is a minaret that forms part of the Qutab complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, India. Qutub Minar is a 73-metre (239.5 feet) tall tapering tower of five storeys, with a 14.3 metres (47 feet) base diameter, reducing to 2.7 metres (9 feet) at the top of the peak. It contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps. Its design is thought to have been based on the Minaret of Jam, in western Afghanistan.
Qutab-Ud-Din-Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, started construction of the Qutub Minar's first storey around 1192. In 1220, Aibak's successor and son-in-law Shamsuddin Iltutmish completed a further three storeys. In 1369, a lightning strike destroyed the top storey. Firoz Shah Tughlaq replaced the damaged storey and added one more. Sher Shah Suri also added an entrance to this tower while he was ruling and Humayun was in exile.
Some other monuments near Qutub Minar are:
