pretensions.
Delhi was established between 900 B.C and 1930. Delhi's famous "seven
cities" range from the 12th century Quila Rai Pithora, built by Prithviraj
Chauhan, to the imperial Shajahanabad, constructed by the Mughals in
the 17th century.
Of the many attractions in Delhi, the major sites are the Rashtrapati
Bhawan designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the British Viceroys Palace,
Shahajahanabad (Old Delhi) where the Red Fort is, or Jama Masjid in
the famed Chandni Chowk in the heart of Old Delhi.
