Aurangabad is a city that rose to prominence when the last Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, made it the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1653 AD to 1707 AD. After the emperor’s demise, the city’s decline followed. However, a brief period of prosperity allowed for the construction of some truly fascinating monuments, including a Taj Mahal replica called the Bibi ka Maqbara built in memory of Aurangzeb’s wife, Dilras Banu Begum. This and other monuments in the city continue to attract many visitors even today. Aurangabad also has a large textile industry, which was once its chief revenue generator.

A variety of armies have thronged its gates in the past, leaving their own indelible mark on the culture and landscape. Modern Delhi has thrived from these roots and is both chaotic and charming, with dusty bazaars that have stood for ages, as well as shiny recently-built megamalls. With a stay at any of the hotels in Delhi, the comforts of the world lay at your feet.

History and modernity fuse in Delhi, offering a blend of activities that make it an unforgettable destination.

The Jama Masjid

The Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque can hold up to 25,000 people at once. The mosque was Shah Jahan’s final architectural wonder, and was constructed between 1644 and 1658 AD. With three gateways and two towering minarets, the mosque was built in alternating layers of red sandstone and white marble, forming the beautiful facade. Another unique feature you can check out while you’re there is the view from the Southern Minaret, from which Connaught Place, Parliament House, and the Mosque itself all align in a straight line.

The Red Fort If you didn’t visit the Red Fort, did you really go to Delhi? An iconic structure which is recognised all over India, the Red Fort hardly compares to its former glory, but is still a convincing remnant of what the Mughals contributed to Delhi’s architecture. Save for Mondays, every evening the fort opens for a stunning sound and light show, which highlights key events in the history of the Fort.

The Qutub Minar

The Qutub Minar Complex houses many scattered tombs and other monuments (including the Iron Pillar) which are marvellous examples of architecture, and then there’s the Qutub Minar itself. A stunning architectural feat, it has intricate carvings from the Qu’ran that have been inlaid into the structure.

Too much history?

If that’s too much history to take in, then head over to Chandni Chowk, with its endless options for street food. Other places worth visiting include Raj Ghat, where you can pay your respects to Mahatma Gandhi, India Gate, and Connaught Place.

The best time to take a trip to Delhi is between October and February, when the weather is cool and pleasant. Accommodation should be the least of your worries, with a variety of hotels in Delhi to choose from, including budget homestays and 5 star palaces that cater to your every fancy. Try the Sheraton in Saket for a business hotel or stay at the ITC Maurya for a chance to live in the upscale diplomatic pocket.
