Central Delhi
Rajpath
Vastly broad Rajpath (Kingsway) is another focal point of Lutyens’ New Delhi, The Republic Day parade is held here on 26 January and thousands congregate for this show.
At the eastern last part of Rajpath is India Gate; while at the western end is Rashtrapati Bhavan, which is flanked by the two large secretariat edifices. These three buildings are upon a small rise, called Raisina Hill.
India Gate high memorial arch has the names of 90,000 Indian soldeirs who died in WWI, the Northwest Frontier operations of the same time and the 1919 Afghan disaster.
Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidents House), the authorized dwelling of the president of India, was completed in 1929. The palace-like structure exhibits a blend of Mughal and western architectural styles. To the west of the structure is Mughal garden (admission is free, photography is forbidden) that occupies 130 hectares. This garden is only open to the public mid February and early March- for dates make contact with India tourism in Delhi.
Before independence, Rashtrapati Bhavan was the viceroy’s abode. At the time of
Mountbatten, India’s most recent viceroy, the number of servants required to keep up the 340 rooms and its wide-ranging gardens was massive. There were 418 gardeners alone – 50 of them were boys whose sole occupation was to run after the birds.
The north and south Secretariat edifices are on either side of Rajpath on Raisina Hill.
These striking buildings, topped with small domes, now house administration ministries.
Sansad Bhavan, (Parliament House) positioned at the end of Sansad Marg. The structure is a round, colonnaded configuration, 171m in diameter. Sansad Bhavan’s relative physical unimportance in the grand system of New Delhi shows how the center of control has shifted from the viceroy’s dwelling, which had been given pride of place during the British Raj when New Dehi was envisaged.
DELHI NIGHTLIFE
Despite what the shadowy and deserted streets of Connaught Place might imply, Delhi's nightlife is not confined to lounging with the chai-sipping crowd on Paharganj rooftops. The clubs of the capital thump and flash with the same techno and whirling lights as the best clubs anywhere. But like the luxury hotels that house them, Delhi's discos cater to the elite, and cover charges may seem forbiddingly steep to budget travellers. Interestingly, Irish pubs with dance floors have recently been spouting all over town with increasing popularity. If you want to get down and dirty with the jet-set of India, you'll have to cough up some serious cash and dig down deep into your pack to find the necessary clothes to fit in. Most of the clubs listed below are 21+ (although the strict drinking age is 25), require men to be accompanied (women, however, can often get in alone), and prohibit torn clothing, sneakers, and uncool insophisticates of all kinds.
