A City of many wonders

Diversity finds its real meaning in Delhi, the

city that is truly a canvas of change and
convergence. With a history more glorious than
any, the city has stepped across many eras, each
one of them leaving the fragrance of its heritage.
Like the seven magnificent wonders of the
world, Delhi too has taken avatar as seven different
cities over time, accumulating the essence of each.
The birth of this majestic city can be traced back
to the part-mythical city of Indraprastha of
Mahabharata fame. That was a long 3000 years
back and got lost amidst the sands of time. Some
pieces of painted grey ware pottery seem to be the
only memories giving evidence of that era.

too long and soon it was time to welcome the third
city of Delhi.
Tughlaqabad, the third city, was built by
Ghias-ud-din-Tughlaq and came up in a short span
of four years. However, it was subsequently
abandoned due to shortage of water.
