For a deeper understanding of Delhi's past, a visit to the Red Fort is essential. Completed in 1648, the fort was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1639 after he moved his capital from Agra to Delhi. Architecturally, the fort is a masterpiece, showcasing a blend of Persian, Timurid, and Indian styles. Its towering red sandstone walls and exquisite marble palaces perfectly epitomise Mughal grandeur. Visitors can explore the expansive complex and its significant structures, including the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), the ornate marble throne room, the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), the Mumtaz Mahal and Rang Mahal palaces, the Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque), the lush Nahr-i-Bihisht (“Stream of Paradise”) gardens, and the impressive Lahori and Delhi gates.
The Qutb Minar , a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands as an iconic example of Indo-Muslim architecture, completed in the early 13th century. This towering minaret reaches 72.5 meters in height, exhibiting a dramatic taper from a 14.32-meter base to a mere 2.75 meters at the summit. Its exterior is a marvel of design, featuring alternating angular and rounded flutings and detailed inscriptions of verses from the Quran. The significance of the site extends beyond the minaret itself, encompassing a rich archaeological complex. Another architectural gem is the Alai Darwaza Gate, a recognised masterpiece of Indo-Muslim artistry completed in 1311. Finally, the courtyard is home to a unique iron pillar, famous for its remarkable resistance to rust.
Complete your Old Delhi exploration with a deep dive into Chandni Chowk , one of the city's oldest and most dynamic marketplaces. Its name, translating to "Moonlight Square," traces back to the reflection of the moon on a large pool that once occupied the site. What began as a majestic boulevard—lined with trees, canals, and stately mansions—is now a bustling nexus of history, commerce, and daily life. Visitors can explore its intricate, winding alleys, which are framed by centuries-old havelis (traditional townhouses), diverse markets, and shops. These establishments offer everything from silver jewellery and spices to textiles and electronics. A major highlight for food lovers is Chandni Chowk's renowned street food, featuring iconic spots like Paranthe Wali Gali for its legendary parathas and Natraj Chaat Bhandar for its tangy chaat.
