Delhi, National capital in India.
The urban region extends across 1,484 square kilometers between the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh along the Yamuna River banks.
The region transformed from an ancient settlement in 500 BCE to the seat of multiple empires, including the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.
The districts showcase an architectural collection from different periods, with structures in Indo-Islamic, British colonial, and modern Indian styles.
The city operates 11 administrative districts, each with specialized government offices, medical centers, and educational institutions for its 25 million residents.
Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and Humayun's Tomb form part of a collection of monuments that demonstrate the evolution of Indian architecture across centuries.
