Delhi offers a multitude of interesting places and
attractions to the visitor, so much so that it becomes
difficult to decide from where to begin exploring the
city. New Delhi is a modern city designed by Edwin Lutyens
and Herbert Baker. Delhi is a spacious, open city that
houses many government buildings and embassies, apart
from places of historical interest. Notable attractions
in New Delhi include the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the one-time
imperial residence of the British viceroys; the India
Gate, a memorial raised in honor of the Indian soldiers
martyred during the Afghan war; the Laxminarayan Temple,
built by the Birlas, one of India's leading industrial
families; the Humayun's Tomb, said to be the forerunner
of the Taj at Agra; the Purana Quila, built by Humayun,
with later-day modifications by Sher Shah Suri; Tughlaqabad,
Delhi's most colossal and awesome fort; Qutab Minar,
built by Qutub-ud-din Aibek of the Slave Dynasty; and
the lotus-shaped Baha'i Temple.
