Dawn breaks over the sandstone-tinted India Gate. As the long rays of the northern sun disperse, the gray fog reveals legions of fitness enthusiasts taking their morning walks. Further down the road, the ochre-colored Parliament is in session. The seat of British power in India, New Delhi differs from Old Delhi, which was the seat of the Mughals in India a few centuries earlier. Captivating ancient monuments are a testament to Mughal majesty while magnificent museums offer unrivaled collections of art history. New Delhi’s vivid performing-arts scene thrives as does the subcontinent’s culinary offerings. Together, India’s capital is sprinkled with glittering gems that span the gamut from the past to the future.
