It is primarily known today as a shopping area, originally centered around the main street, called Ajmal Khan Road. In recent years, commercial activity has expanded into the lanes that lead off it, swallowing once-residential areas which now house, along with a variety of shops, a large concentration of mid-range hotels catering to a mixture of domestic businessmen and foreign tourists. Some of the best-known shops on Ajmal Khan Road include Roopak's,(spice store) Sethi Silk Store (womens apparel showroom) but what the market is mainly known for is Jwellery, clothes and shoes. It has a plethora of shops specializing in clothes (including branches of famous trousseau shops Ram Chandra Kishan Chandra and Zohra, which were featured in Mira Nair's film Monsoon Wedding). Other landmark shops include Cheap Silk Stores, South India Cloth House, and Jainsons Westend. Well-known eating places are mostly old-fashioned sweetshops, including Punjab Sweets and Roshan di Kulfi (supposedly one of the oldest and best kulfi places in the city), and Bikanervala. These are also well-known for their traditional Punjabi vegetarian food options and snacks, such as aloo tikki and excellent chole bhature. The area between Gurudwara Road and Ajmal Khan Road, at the Pusa Road end, specialises in Car accessories. Naiwalan area is biggest Wholesale Market for spare part of two wheelers in India. A little further down, where Ajmal Khan Road meets Pusa Road, is a station of the third line of the Delhi Metro, which links it to Connaught Place and West Delhi. Mondays are given over to one of the largest street markets in the city, though the pavements are full of stalls on all days. Ghaffar Market, a municipal market along a stretch of Ajmal Khan Road, specializes in smuggled electronics and sundry other 'imported' items. Desh Bandhi Gupta runs through the middle of Karol Bagh and leads to New Dehli Railway Station which is at about a distance of 5 km. Liberty Cinema is another important landmark,one of the many places of recreation apart from the shopping street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;History&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The area was primarily residential with a large Muslim population until the exodus of many Muslims to Pakistan and an influx of refugees from West Punjab after Partition in 1947, many of whom were traders, made it the hub of a major shopping area, which it remains to this day. There remains a sizeable Tamil-speaking population, and several stores specialising in South Indian kitchen paraphernalia, including filter coffee makers. Karol Bagh was also home to a large Bengali community, and has one of the oldest Durga Puja in the city, though their numbers have now dwindled. The area is of some historic importance, though this has been eclipsed by its commercial success; further along Ajmal Khan Road towards Paharganj one encounters the Tibbia College, a turn-of-the-century centre for 'Unani and Ayrvedic' medicine founded by Hakim Ajmal Khan, who also founded the Unani medicine firm Hamdard. Several disused mosques lie hidden in the small bylanes. Lying in close proximity to Karol bagh is the Jhande Walan Temple. A sacred place of worship for the Hindu's, this temple has a mass devotee following that frequent it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neighbourhoods within Karol Bagh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The constituent neighbourhoods are Western Extension Area, Naiwala, Krishan Nagar, Ramjas Road, Dev Nagar, Regharpura, Sat Nagar and Beadonpura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Social Composition of Neighbourhoods&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other important religious structures include the Gurudwara on the epynomous road, and the Arya Samaj Temple which gives another major arterial road its name. Of anthropological interest are also a Christian settlement further along Saraswati Marg, and a low-income neighbourhood called Regharpura, where, according to some historians, members of the Reghar tribe who were employed by the British colonial administration to work as labourers in the construction of New Delhi were settled after the new capital had been built. Western Extension Area was primarily middle-class but is now mostly commercial.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/400059467735539377-1578475517940446113?l=delhiguide.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://delhiguide.blogspot.com/feeds/1578475517940446113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=400059467735539377&amp;postID=1578475517940446113&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/400059467735539377/posts/default/1578475517940446113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/400059467735539377/posts/default/1578475517940446113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://delhiguide.blogspot.com/2007/05/karol-bagh.html' title='Karol Bagh'/><author><name>Gaurav</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/Sbh9oeFdp3I/AAAAAAAADhc/OXNf2r0TThI/S220/gaurav.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400059467735539377.post-3870761981339001314</id><published>2007-05-28T10:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T10:54:10.177-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='History Delhi'/><title type='text'>History of Delhi</title><content type='html'>Delhi has a long history, including a history as the capital of several empires. The earliest architectural relics date back to the Maurya Period (c. 300 BC); since then, the site has seen continuous settlement. In 1966, an inscription of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka (273-236 BC) was discovered near Srinivaspuri, which is near Noida. Two sandstone pillars inscribed with the edicts of Ashoka were brought to the city by Firuz Shah Tughluq in the 14th century. The famous Iron pillar near the Qutub Minar was commissioned by the emperor Kumara Gupta I of the Gupta dynasty (320-540) and transplanted to Delhi during the 10th century. Eight major cities have been situated in the Delhi area. The first four cities were in the southern part of present-day Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Early history&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Indian folklore, Delhi was to be the site of the magnificent and opulent Indraprastha, capital of the Pandavas in the Indian epic Mahabharata, founded around 5000 BC. Hindu texts state that the city of Delhi used to be referred to in Sanskrit as Hastinapur, which means "elephant-city". A village called Indraprast existed in Delhi until the beginning of the 19th century. The British demolished the ancient village to make way for the construction of New Delhi in the late 19th century. Archaeological evidence suggests that Indraprastha once stood where the Old Fort is today. Excavations have unearthed shards of the grey painted ware (c. 1000 BC) that some archaeologists associate with the age of the Mahabharata, but no coherent settlement traces have been found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8th century to 16th century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tomara Rajput dynasty founded Lal Kot in 736 near the Qutub Minar. The Prithviraj Raso names the Rajput Anangpal as the founder of Lal Kot. The Chauhan Rajput kings of Ajmer conquered Lal Kot in 1180 and renamed it Qila Rai Pithora. The Chauhan king Prithviraj III was defeated in 1192 by the Afghan Muhammad Ghori. From 1206, Delhi became the capital of the Delhi Sultanate under the Slave Dynasty (so named because several rulers of this dynasty were former slaves). The first Sultan of Delhi, Qutb-ud-din Aybak was a former slave who rose through the ranks to become a general, a governor and then Sultan of Delhi. Qutb-ud-din started the construction the Qutub Minar, a recognisable symbol of Delhi, to commemorate his victory but died before its completion. In the Qutb complex he also constructed the Quwwat-al-Islam (might of Islam), which is the earliest extant mosque in India. He was said to have pillaged exquisitely carved pillars from 27 temples for this mosque, many of which can still be seen. After the end of the Slave dynasty, a succession of Turkic and Central Asian dynasties, the Khilji dynasty, the Tughluq dynasty, the Sayyid dynasty and the Lodhi dynasty held power in the late medieval period and built a sequence of forts and townships that are part of the seven cities of Delhi. In 1526, following the First Battle of Panipat, Zahiruddin Babur, the former ruler of Fergana, defeated the last Lodhi sultan and founded the Mughal dynasty which ruled from Delhi, Agra and Lahore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;16th century to 19th century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mid-sixteenth century there was an interruption in the Mughal rule of India as Sher Shah Suri defeated Babur's son Humayun and forced him to flee to Afghanistan and Persia. Sher Shah Suri built the sixth city of Delhi, as well as the old fort known as Purana Qila and the Grand Trunk Road. After Sher Shah Suri’s early death, Humayun recovered the throne with Persian help. The third and greatest Mughal emperor, Akbar, moved the capital to Agra resulting in a decline in the fortunes of Delhi. In the mid-seventeenth century, the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658) built the city that sometimes bears his name (Shahjahanabad), the seventh city of Delhi that is more commonly known as the old city or old Delhi. This city contains a number of significant architectural features, including the Red Fort (Lal Qila) and the Jama Masjid. The old city served as the capital of the later Mughal Empire from 1638 onwards, when Shah Jahan transferred the capital back from Agra. Aurangzeb (1658-1707) crowned himself as emperor in Delhi in 1658 at the Shalimar garden ('Aizzabad-Bagh) with a second coronation in 1659. In 1761, Delhi was raided by Ahmed Shah Abdali after the Third battle of Panipat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delhi passed to British control in 1857 after the First War of Indian Independence; the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II was pensioned to Rangoon and the remaining Mughal territories were annexed as a part of British India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Twentieth century&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after the First War of Independence, Calcutta was declared the capital of British India but in 1911 the capital was again moved to Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parts of the old city were pulled down to create New Delhi, a monumental new quarter of the city designed by the British architect Edwin Lutyens to house the government buildings. A brief but fascinating account of the Indian contractors behind this construction can be found in Khushwant Singh's autobiography Truth, Love and a Little Malice. New Delhi was officially declared as the seat of the Government of India after independence in 1947. During the Partition of India thousands of Hindu and Sikh refugees from West Punjab migrated to Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1984, the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi led to a violent backlash against the Sikh community, resulting in the deaths of 5,000 people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/400059467735539377-3870761981339001314?l=delhiguide.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://delhiguide.blogspot.com/feeds/3870761981339001314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=400059467735539377&amp;postID=3870761981339001314&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/400059467735539377/posts/default/3870761981339001314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/400059467735539377/posts/default/3870761981339001314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://delhiguide.blogspot.com/2007/05/history-of-delhi.html' title='History of Delhi'/><author><name>Gaurav</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/Sbh9oeFdp3I/AAAAAAAADhc/OXNf2r0TThI/S220/gaurav.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400059467735539377.post-4299639443778236671</id><published>2007-05-28T10:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T10:49:44.073-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Delhi Climate'/><title type='text'>Climate Of Delhi</title><content type='html'>Climate of Delhi is semi-arid with high variation between summer and winter temperatures. Summers are long, from early April to October, with the monsoon season in between. Winter starts in November and peaks in January. Due to Delhi's proximity to the Himalayas, cold waves from the Himalayan region dip temperatures across the city. Delhi is notorious for its heavy fog during the winter season. In December, reduced visibility leads to disruption of road, air and rail traffic. The city has a pleasant climate from February to March, and from September to November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extreme temperatures have ranged from -0.6 °C (30.9 °F) to 47 °C (116.6 °F). The average annual rainfall is approximately 714 mm (28.1 inches), most of which is during the monsoons in July and August.The average date of the advent of monsoon winds in Delhi is 29 June.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/400059467735539377-4299639443778236671?l=delhiguide.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://delhiguide.blogspot.com/feeds/4299639443778236671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=400059467735539377&amp;postID=4299639443778236671&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/400059467735539377/posts/default/4299639443778236671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/400059467735539377/posts/default/4299639443778236671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://delhiguide.blogspot.com/2007/05/climate-of-delhi.html' title='Climate Of Delhi'/><author><name>Gaurav</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/Sbh9oeFdp3I/AAAAAAAADhc/OXNf2r0TThI/S220/gaurav.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400059467735539377.post-828963044080364758</id><published>2007-05-28T10:46:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-15T23:26:44.949-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Markets In Delhi Shopping Places'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><title type='text'>Markets/Shopping Centers In Delhi</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Chandni Chowk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chandni Chowk is one of the oldest and busiest markets in central north Delhi, India. The area is the historically important Shahjahanabad between the Lal Qila (The Red Fort) and Fatehpuri Masjid. With the most famous mosque of Delhi Jama Masjid (Delhi) in the vicinity, along with Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, Jain Mandir and a lot of small temples, the place witnesses a genuine cultural harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chandni Chowk's speciality is the variety of its markets and their Indian-ness. From authentic Indian food, delicacies and sweets of more than 1000 kinds, to sarees with chikan, zaree work. There are lots of narrow lanes with many shops selling books, clothing, shoes and leather goods, electronic and consumer goods and what not. The area, even more so than the rest of the city, is congested. This is also a good area for window shopping. It is the location of the original Haldiram's. A particular local delicacy are the jalebis, which are fried in pure ghee (clarified butter).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Dilli Haat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dilli Haat is a combination food plaza and craft bazaar located in the heart of Delhi.

It was built by Qutb-ud-din Aybak of the Slave Dynasty, who took possession of Delhi in 1206. It is a fluted red sandstone tower, which tapers up to a height of 72.5 metres and is covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. Qutb-ud-din Aybak began constructing this victory tower as a sign of Muslim domination of Delhi and as a minaret for the Muslim priest, the muezzin, to call the faithful to prayer. However, only the first story was completed by Qutb-ud-din. The other storys were built by his successor Iltutmish. The two circular storys in white marble were built by Ferozshah Tughlaq in 1368, replacing the original fourth story.&lt;br /&gt;At 72.5 meters, the 13th century Qutb Minar is the world's tallest brick minaret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The balconies in the tower are supported by exquisite stalactite designs. The tapering tower has pointed and circular flutings on the first story and star-shaped ones on the second and third stories. The bands of calligraphic inscriptions are amazing in their perfection along the exquisite stalactite designs on the exterior of this tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Qutb Minar, apart from being a marvel in itself, is also significant for wha t it represents in the hist ory of Indian culture. In many ways, the Qutb Minar, the first monument built by a Muslim ruler in India, heralded the beginning of a new style of art and architecture that came to be known as the Indo-Islamic style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Re&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;d Fo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;rt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When one a&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/RlmTea06I7I/AAAAAAAAAqI/JGhD54z4bc8/s1600-h/RedFort.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/RlmTea06I7I/AAAAAAAAAqI/JGhD54z4bc8/s200/RedFort.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069245006388798386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;pproaches old Delhi with a somewhat Westernised perception, the emotional response can range from wonderment to bewilderment, from utter disgust to ecstasy. Old Delhi gives an insight into the multi-layered identity that so aptly characterizes India. The lanes are narrow, fille d to bursting with people, and throbbing with life. In the midst of this sea of people, suddenly you come face to face with the ramparts of the Red Fort.&lt;br /&gt;The decision for constructing the fort was made in 1639, wh en Shah Jahan decided to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi. Within eight years, Shahjahanabad was completed with the Red Fort-Qila-i-Mubarak (fortunate citadel) — Delhi's seventh fort — ready in all its magnificence to receive the Emperor. Though much has changed with the large-scale demolitions during the British occupation of the fort, its important structures have survived, the glory faded with age but still impressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jama Masjid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/Rlm25a06I8I/AAAAAAAAAqQ/jDhiEjeLAKI/s1600-h/Jamamasjid.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pte2XO66Nwg/Rlm25a06I8I/AAAAAAAAAqQ/jDhiEjeLAKI/s200/Jamamasjid.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069283953152238530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Masjid-i-Jahan Numa, commonly known as Jama Masjid, is the principal mosque of Old Delhi.

As the President of India takes the salute on Rajpath, marching columns from the armed forces, tanks and missile carriers rumble past. Camels amble along, elephants come swaying, schools children turn cartwheels and transform the solemn occasion into a carnival. An exciting folk dance festival follows a day later at Talkatora Stadium. The festivities end with Beating the Retreat, a feast of martial music, at Vijay Chowk on 29 January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lohri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 13th January, a rural festival, Lohri, invades the streets of Delhi and is celebrated with bonfires in parks and open spaces. Traditionally, Lohri marks the end of winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Basant Panchami(Date Varies)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biting winter winds countinue till end January-early February when the Hindu festival of Basant Panchami welcomes spring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Statesman Vintage Car Rally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Statesman Vintage Car Rally is held in early February on a balmy weekend. Classic cars roll sedately out on to the roads, ambling off on a day trip to Sohna in the bordering state of Haryana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Holi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the day of the full moon is in the month of Phalguna, Delhi braces itself for a day of uninhibited reverly as Holi is celebrated with great vigour and joy. All morning people smear Gulal (coloured powder) often mixed with water on one another and dance to the beat of drums.
