| Red Fort - UNESCO World Heritage Site |
One funny liner contributed by one of the hostel guests in New Delhi !
1) Chandni Chowk & the Spice Market, New Delhi
2) Sikh Guruwara Temple, New Delhi - our group sit on the carpet inside the prayer hall listening to the beautiful music of devotion for 20 minutes, heads need to cover with scarf and shoes taken off !
3) " Red Fort (UNESCO) is a historic fort in the city of Delhi in India New Delhi. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal dynasty for nearly 200 years, until 1856. It houses a number of museums; entrance fee Rs600 (Rm34)
Lahore Gate - the main gate to the Red Fort; every Indian Independent Day since 1947, the national flag is unfurled here & the Prime Minister makes a speech from its ramparts.
Delhi Gate, almost identical to Lahore Gate; located at the southern end
Chhatta Chowk - a bazzar where silk, jewellery & other items for the imperial household were sold during the Mughal period; walls, ceilings & pavements are now under renovation & reconstruction !
Imperial enclosure - Moti Masjid, the hammam, Divan-I-khas, Khas Mahal & the Rang Mahal
Makan Makan (Eating) - Lunch in a local favorite food stall near Chandni Chowk, crowded & very good business & this tempted our group to try out their roti with curry gravies but your stomach must be strong otherwise diarrhea or stomach upsets could ensue and a bad day awaits you !
Dinner in Drunkyard Café Family Restaurant in Pahar Ganj, New Delhi - my first taste of local spicy Indian food, yummy yummy & very appetizing !
