Though the series is in the order of my journey I would like to appreciate two special things first…TAJ MAHAL : No introduction on this…I explain on TAJ…I can say only about my wishes…This was my life time wish “To visit TAJ with my wife once in a life time…this wish grew bigger and bigger after I fell in love with JYOTHI” “I wished at least once I should spend some time with my beloved in the TEMPLE OF LOVE”

Cannaught place
Inka hadavidi cheyakunda memu fast ga shopping lo digamu…direct ga car vanni Cannaught place lo drop cheyamannam…
Asalu em market boss...Etu chusina shops shops and shops. And the bargaining started from Rs.500 and ended at Rs.75 for couple of items…Those who don’t know to bargain DON’T EVER ENTER PAALIKA BAZAR. Oka Rs.500 vadilinchu koni direct ga RED FORT ki vellam…
If you ever visit DELHI, Don’t miss to visit Cannaught place (again only if you know to bargain well)

Red Fort
One of DELHI's most famous historical monuments Built by Shah Jahan, the 5th in the line of Mughals Red fort or "Lal Qila" is made in red sandstone completely. RED FORT lo light and sound show mana GOLCONDA antha baaga anipinchaledu…kaaranam may be lack of AMITABH voice anipinchindi…kanee daani HISTORY adbutham…NADIR SHAH mana KOHINOOR DIAMOND ni PEACOCK THROWN ni yettukonni vellipoyadu anappudu manasu keliki nattu ayindi…em chestam. “Ye charita chusina emundi garva kaaranam” anattu...konni konni anthe...
Light and sound show begins at 7 PM but u need to reach there by 6.30 PM so that you need not hurry in the line.
I recommend seeing only “SOUND AND LIGHT” show if you have a plan to visit Jaipur and Agra as you will visit Amber fort, Fathepur Sikri and Agra Fort. All the forts and most of the history is same but here you get to know history thru the show. However do visit once to see where our PM do hoist our flag on INDEPENDENCE DAY & REPUBLIC DAY.

India Gate

Akkada nunchi Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhawan chusanu…dooram nunche… security full tight ga undi asalu atu vaipe vellanivvaledu…Enduko naaku Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhawan chuste pedda feelings raaledu…Kalaam garu Rashtrapati Bhawan lo unte koddiga feel undedi…inta varaku naaku Mrs. Patil president la kanipinchaledu…kalaam gari sthanam lo inka evarni uhunchu kolenu…akkada nunchi mellaga Shanti Path meeduga velthu All countries Embassies, BJP office, mana PM Dr. Man mohan singh gari illu, Vajpayee gari illu, Sonia Gandhi intini chusthu MP quarters meeduga AP Bhawan vellamu dinner ki.

Take a round on these roads in day time. You will pass on these roads many times when you visit DELHI…if you are SOUTHERN Travels, you will pass these areas at least 4-5 times in your trip.

National Museum
One of the finest museums in the world, the National Museum is a treasure house of a wide range of exhibits from over 5000 years of Indian culture, including exquisite Mughal miniature paintings and artifacts from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization dating back to 2000 BC.
This is good to visit but I do recommend visiting this only if you are interested in History. Naa varaku I am not interested but had to see as my wife was interested… (oka Bharya chatu bhartha gaa naaku tappadu kada)

Don’t miss this.
Teen Murti Bhavan
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru batikinappudu unna house Idi…Deentlo ayana jevitha visheshalu… ayana upayoginchina vastuvullu, ayanaku vividha desala nunchi vachina bahumatulu, ganapikalu, ayina letters mukhyam ga letters between NEHRU & INDIRA chala bagunayyi… Memu vellinappudu Bhagat sigh meeda edo exhibition jarigindi… so akkada Bhagat sigh and ayana friends meeda manchi articles exhibit chesaru…Good for us… Can pay a round to this….however this is very near to parliament and president palace. **********************************************************************
Indira Gandhi Memorial
Indira Gandhi illu idi…ippudu deeni meuseum laa teerchi INDIA, RAJIV la jeevitha visheshalu pettaru…Ikkada Indira Rajiv lu upayoginchina vastuvullu, valla ku vachina bahumatulu, ganapikalu…chanipoyetappudu vallu vesukunna battalu…(Indira Gandhi saree ki bullet marks kanipistayi…Rajiv Gandhi vesukunna Lalchi chuste nijanaga badha vestundi even if you are pro congress). You can also see the way Indira Gandhi was walking in her last moments and the place where she was shot. If you are interested in Indira and Rajiv make visit to this…. However as I saild most of these places like India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Shanti Path (All Embassies), Rajpath, Indira Gandhi Memorial, Teen Murti Bhavan (Nehru Museum), All MP’s house, PM house, BJP office, Sonia Gandhi house are all nearer. Mottam meeda tirigina 4 Km’s avvaddu…and one good thing is roads are clearer and look almost same…manam self ga teerigithe tappipovadam khayam…pedda roads…tight security… **********************************************************************
RAJ GHAT
1948 Jan 31st roju Gandhi garini tagala bettina place idi… An open platform etched with Mahatma Gandhi's last words "Hey Ram" (Oh God) is set in a garden with fountains and a variety of exotic trees. This is the place where the mortal remains of the Mahatma were consigned to the flames. It consists of a simple square black-marble platform that stands on the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated. Do not miss to visit this place and pay your respects there. Nearby, there are cremation sites of Jawaharlal Nehru - the first Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. But one thing which I felt bad was Mrs Sonia Gandhi being the wife of Rajiv Gandhi and from who she earned this respect in our country her being foreigner, could not maintain that place properly. It was maintained so bad that I doubt if they clean that place at least once in a month. Edo year ki rendu sarlu family-family katta kattukoni vachi edustaru tappinchi…aa tarwatha vallu asalu deeni pattinchukoru ani ardham avutundi….And don’t ask me on Indira Gandhi Samadhi…Oka peddddddddddda Stone daani meeda pettaru…Aaa rayi ento dani katha ento cheppataniki akkada okkaru kuda leru. Visit them if you are interested. They are next to Raj Ghat and it will take hardly 10 mins to see them.

METRO RAIL RIDE
Actual ga shopping ki velle tappudu return lo deentlo travel cheyyandi….Chandini chowk ki, Cannnught place (station peru – RAJIV CHOWK), Karol bagh ki regular (every 5 mins ki) oka train undi….and one other good thing is exact metro station lonchi bayataku ragane shopping centres..so no need to worry…dont bother to switch the train route…Chala easy…just oka nalugu metlu ekkithe sari…Naa recomdation if you are going for shopping don’t go in Taxi use Metro…even if you don’t go for shopping just go for a ride in metro until we get the same in Hyderabd in next couple of years.
Akshardham TempleOne of the finest temples I have seen… this is undoubtedly a world of Indian culture ornate with 20, 000 statues, floral motifs, arches and exquisitely carved pillars. Main mandir lopala asalu aa sculpture work chudataniki rendu kallu chalavu…unfortunately ikkkada security tight ga undi…may be gandhinagar lo Akshardham Temple meeda jarigina terror activity valla kavochu…cameras, mobiles kadu kada kaneesam chinna bag kuda allow cheyyaru…only chinna purse anthe kanee its beautiful…
Actual ga idi temple kadu…Swami Narayan gari pedda idol daani mundu ayana sishyulu nalugu vaipula Radha-Krishna, Seetha-Ram, Lakshmi-Vishnu and Shivudu-Parvathi vigrahalu unnayi…ikkada exhibition show baguntundi anaru kanee maaku kudaraledu

Don’t miss this too.

Chandni Chowk
The antiquity of the main market area of Chandni Chowk has rendered it a venerated place in the markets of DELHI. It is said that it was once lined with beautiful fountains. However, with time, it grew as crowded as it is today. Mana old city la untundi kanee akada dorike varities kanee aa price kanee ekkada dorakavu…em konaka poyina okka sari anna chudatiki vellandi…this is very nearer to RED FORT…konali anukunte kontha ekkuva cash pattukelladam manchidi(off course akkada chala ATM’s unnayi :) )
**********************************************************************
Jama Masjid
Chandni Chowk ki velle darilo opposite Red fort untundi idi…Another architectural wonder of Mughal India, Jama Masjid or the Jami Masjid was built by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, between 1644 and 1658. With a capacity of 25000, Jama Masjid is the largest and most unique in India offering birds' eye views over the walled city.

Humayun's Tomb
An elegant red sandstone and white marble precursor to its more famous cousin Taj Mahal, Humayun's Tomb was built by his first wife Haji Begum after his death from a fall in the stairs. The inner sanctum contains the crypts of the emperor and his wife, and has some really amazing acoustics.
Purana Quila
Built on the historic site of Indraprastha the capital of the Pandavas of the Mahabharata) Purana Quila or the "Old Fort" was the combined efforts of the Mughal Emperor Humayn and Sher Shah, who, for a short period, almost extinguished the hopes of a permanent Mughal Empire. Spread on a circuit of about a mile, the fort has three gates and its walls are surrounded by a mat fed by the river Yamuna. The octagonal red sandstone tower known as 'Sher Mandal' was used by Humayun as his library and observatory.
Jantar Mantar
First in the series of five observatories constructed in different parts of India by Sawai Jai Singh II, the great astronomer king of Jaipur (1699-1743), the Jantar Mantar is situated between Connaught Place and Rashtrapati Bhavan. Idi nenu Delhi lo chuadledu kanee Jaipur lo chusanu…time calculator time ni caluclae chesina teeruki nijanga hats off…Massive deep-red and white sloping stone structures loom over palm trees and tidy flowerbeds - the giant sundials cast shadows, which were formerly used to calculate time, solar and lunar calendars and astrological movements, all with a wonderful degree of precision.
Safdarjang's Tomb
Built in 1753 by Nawab Shauja-ud-Daula of Avadh to house the mortal remains of his father, Safdarjang, the Mughal viceroy of Avadh under Muhammad Shah (1719-48), the tomb is referred to as the "last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture." It is a testimony to depletion of the grandeur and grace of the Mughal architecture in its decadent years. One of the last in the tradition of Mughal garden tombs, the structure has a courtyard and a mosque.
