Gandhi Pilgrimage
by Nprawira
There's no need for an introduction to Gandhi anymore but details of his life may be missing from people's knowledge of him as an individual. To redress that, go to Rajghat, the site of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation where there is also a museum dedicated to the man himself. The short script inscribed on the black granite spells He Ram! or Oh God, allegedly, Gandhi's last words after being shot.

"Generations to come scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."- Albert Einstein on Mahatma Gandhi.
This memmorial for the great man Mahatma Gandhi is just opposite to Rajghat. The complete life sketch of Gandhiji is displayed here. The exhibits include some of the belongings of Gandhiji which incude some books, bed etc. The gun carrige used to carry his body is one of the exhibits here.
After your visit to this place, you will realise that Einstein was right.
Connaught Place
by Mahieu
Connaught Place has very little in common with Old Delhi. It’s the geographical heart of New Delhi and is a vast traffic circle with big buildings, fountains, steps and international shopping opportunities like Benetton. The different blocks of Connaught Place are divided with letters, which makes it pretty ease to find your way. On the surrounding boulevards, you can also find the main international airlines agencies.
Lodi Gardens - Tomb of Muhammad Shah
by MM212
Built in 1444 by Ala-ud-Din Alam Shah for his father Sultan Muhammad Shah, this octagonal mausoleum is one of the few surviving structures from the short-lived Sayyid dynasty. It is located within Lodi Gardens, among several other magnificent mausoleums. The Sayyids claimed to descend from the prophet Mohammed, and ruled over Delhi from 1414 to 1451, after which the Lodi dynasty came to power. The design of the mausoleum - octagonal, topped by a flat central dome, and surrounded by smaller ones - is one that was repeatedly replicated in the following centuries and is seen again here at Lodi Gardens (Sikandar Lodi's tomb) and also in Nizamuddin (Isa Khan's tomb, see my Delhi page).
