Red Spits
by l_joo
I saw this in the Connaught Place at almost all the bottom portion of the walls and pillars, it was spittings by peoples after chewing the betel nut that generates red colored saliva. Not just in Connaught Place, I saw this red spits nearly everywhere, its definitely a local custom. In fact this is good, the Indians prefer to chew this red saliva thing more than spend money in cigarettes.
Tuk Tuks
by Suet
I forgot to mention that your tuk tuk driver will take you places, drop you off and wait for you. It's like a cheap personal taxi.
We stayed at the Imperial, where Ghandi signed the Independance Treaty with the Brits. An exceptional hotel.
Birla Mandir
by solopes
As the best and most tolerant potpourri of cultures and religions, India is too complex for an European, to understand the differences in epochs and styles.
This temple, in Delhi, with less than one century, was inaugurated by Gandhi and is a good example of evolution of art in India, without loosing the strength of its character.
Chandni Chowk
by Mahieu
This is Old Delhi’s main thoroughfare, which is constantly blockd by all kinds of traffic. Still, it’s a great place to wander around and have a look at all the small shops and craftsmen. Every street or quarter seems to have its own speciality. There is silver jewellery, sari dresses, spices, ...Chandni Chowk starts from the Red Fort and ends at Fatehpuri Masjid.
