New Year Eve in Delhi<\/p><\/div>\n

If you are contemplating to visit \u00a0New Delhi around New Year\u2019s time, the city will bring to fore the joy of celebration and enthusiasm of welcoming the year 2013. The city abounds with a number of historical monuments that have been silent witnesses to power shift from the hands of one ruler to another. Besides monuments, there are several modern buildings such as malls, pubs, five star hotels and fine dining restaurants in Lutyen\u2019s Delhi, each of which is fully booked on the New Year\u2019s Eve. In this blog, I have mentioned four monuments which form an integral part of Delhi\u2019s sightseeing.<\/p>\n

Red Fort <\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most largest monuments and a popular tourist attraction in New Delhi, Red fort is one of the spectacular masterpieces of Mughal architecture. It was constructed by the 5th<\/span><\/sup> Mughal ruler \u2018Shah Jahan\u2019 who also built the famous Taj Mahal. Owing to its artistic brilliance, Red Fort was declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. Till today, Red Fort stands as a testimony to the grandeur and strength of India. The Prime Minister of India \u00a0does flag hoisting here on<\/span> 15th<\/span><\/sup> August.<\/p>\n

Humayun\u2019s Tomb <\/strong><\/p>\n

Built in the memory of Mughal emperor Humayun by his widow Hamida Bano Begum, Humayun\u2019s Tomb was\u00a0 designed by the Persian architect \u2018Mirak Mirza Ghiyath\u2019. It was the\u00a0 first Mughal monument to be built in sandstone\u00a0 and took nine years to complete. Humayun\u2019s Tomb was included in the catalog of UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 1993.

Purana Qila<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the southeastern parts of New Delhi, Purana Qila is a historical fort that exhibit Mughal and Lodhi architecture. The history of this fort dates back to the Mahabharata age which says the location of the fort happens to be the site of Indraprastha city, the capital of Pandavas.
