comes the name Red Fort. The fort is constructed of red sandstone highlighting
the best sightseeing places in Delhi India.
Jama Masjid: Being one of the country’s major mosques, Jama Masjid has always served as the prayer ground for Muslims since the Mughal era. The sight of thousand heads praying together on Eid is simply spectacular and most-popular among the photography community.

Chandni Chowk is an old jeweller market
adjacent to the Red Fort. The historical market was a Hindu residential area
and here you can find the most delicious vegan food options in North India. It
also has an extensive market for textiles, electronics and street food. The
Delhi market Chandni Chowk was designed by Shah Jahan’s beloved daughter
Jahanara Begum and populated by then-wealthy families.
Raj Ghat: This is the resting place of
Mahatma Gandhi, constructed out of black marble beside the Yamuna River. The
site is actually the cremation ground of India’s Father of Nation who was
assassinated in 1948. On every Friday, people visit here to pay respect through
a dedicatory ritual.
India Gate: India Gate New Delhi is a
free-standing, 42-meter-high “Arc-de-Triomphe” of India. Formerly called the

its construction.
