City of the Mughals

People, State and Technology

Delhi was the bastion of the Mughals who ruled almost the entire country. They left magnificent mausoleums, forts and cities for generations to admire and marvel at their beauty and magnificence.

Chandni Chowk is in ruins now, as much of its earlier beauty has been eroded by time and march of history. A memorial to the great Urdu poet can also be seen in last row below.
