Delhi
Delhi is an important commercial center in South Asia and the capital of the great democracy of India. The crowded, colorful and unruly heart of India, lies on the west bank of the Yamuna River in northern India, near the Thar, or Great Indian Desert. New Delhi is structured around two central promenades called the Rajpath, stretching from the Presidential Palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan) upto the India Gate and the Janpath which begins from Connaught Circus and cuts the Shantipath at right angles. New Delhi is characterised by its wide straight roads and numerous roundtanas. Being an ancient city, Delhi has the shadows of its past. It is not just a a city but it is a book--a book which narrates the history of India.
The fourth largest economy in the world and rapidly growing, and the largest democracy in the world, India is a growing and important economic powerhouse.
