Old Delhi
was previously known, as the capital of

It's a lively area of colorful bazaars,
narrow streets and a barely controlled chaos.
In contrast, New Delhi,
is the imperial city created by British,
is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and
imposing government buildings.
New Delhi was built between 1912 and 1929.
