Delhi is the capital of India. People from different states live here, making it a place where many cultures and religions come together. You will find a great variety of food reflecting this diversity. The metro rail connects many parts of the city, making travel convenient. Auto-rickshaws are another option, but if you are not familiar with the charges, especially near railway stations or bus stands, there is a high chance of being cheated by them. Travel companies like Uber, In-Drive are other alternatives. DTC buses are a cheap option, but you need to be cautious about your mobile, wallet, and other valuables during the travel. I would not recommend you, visiting Delhi between November to January because the air quality becomes very poor in every areas. If you have any respiratory issues, you should take extra precautions and use an N-95 mask. The government plays blame game only.
Famous places to visit in delhi with family
1. Akshardham Temple
Known as the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple, it is a Hindu temple located on the banks
of the Yamuna River. It stands as a symbol of modern Hindu culture and architecture. The temple was
officially opened in 2005 in the presence of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Dr. Manmohan Singh, and
L.K. Advani. Built according to Vastu Shastra and Pancharatra Shastra, the temple showcases traditional
design principles. The complex features several exhibition halls, and the water show is particularly
spectacular—you must experience it, as I highly recommend it. The temple is constructed from Rajasthani
pink sandstone and Italian marble, intricately carved with depictions of musicians, dancers and deities. It boasts 234 elaborately carved pillars, nine domes, and over 20,000 murtis of
swamis and devotees. This stunning structure is an excellent example of modern Hindu art, which is
beautifully displayed on its walls.

The India Gate is formerly known as the "All India War Memorial".
It is located in Delhi, near Kartavya Path (formerly known as Rajpath). This construction
stands as a proud monument of national significance and is a must-visit for anyone to
exploring and enjoying. India Gate is the memorial of sacrifice of over 80,000 soldiers
who lost their lives during World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Its historical
importance makes it a symbol of pride and reverence for every Indian. Surrounding India
Gate is a vast park. Opposite the India Gate lies "Rashtrapati Bhavan", which is connected
