This city has been built, destroyed and rebuilt 11 times and witnesses an interesting blend of diverse cultures (some even 2000 years old).

Old Delhi was the capital of Mughal Empire from 1649 until 1857. Shah Jahan built new walled city named Shahjahanabad in Delhi. New Delhi built by British Rule is well-planned and more spacious. This city is a meeting ground of both tradition and modernity as it has got the perfect blend of rich historical past and stylish present at the same time. Delhi city is a fusion of different cultures and religions. The contemporary Delhi is a culmination of seven cities built by different emperors. Delhi is known for its mysterious eternity and rich historical background. The city has witnessed empires rise to glory and fall to ashes. Ruins of this ancient city are found even today and now these are converted to some major tourist attractions.

The city is also referenced in various idioms of the Northern Indo-Aryan languages. Examples include:

Abhi Dilli door hai or its Persian version, Hanouz Dehli dour ast, literally meaning Delhi is still far away, which is generically said about a task or journey still far from completion.
