The vibrant, chaotic daily life in the Chandni Chowk Market area of Old Delhi, India where traditional small traders and daily wage laborers operate as the backbone of local commerce.
The Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, is an historic Mughal fort located in the Old Delhi area of Delhi, India. It served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan on the 12th of May 1639, the fort was constructed following his decision to shift the Mughal capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally adorned in red and white, the fort's design is attributed to Ustad Ahmad Lahori, the architect of the Taj Mahal. The Red Fort is a prominent example of Mughal architecture from Shah Jahan's reign, combining Persian and Indian architectural styles.
During the invasion by Nadir Shah of the Afsharid Empire in 1739, the fort was plundered and stripped of its artwork and jewels. Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, many of its marble structures were demolished by the British, although the defensive walls remained largely intact. The fort was later repurposed as a military garrison.
On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, hoisted the Indian flag above the Lahori Gate, the main entrance of the Red Fort. Since then, the Prime Minister of India has ceremonially raised the national tricolour at the main gate each year on Independence Day, then delivering a nationally broadcast address from its ramparts.
The Red Fort, as part of the Red Fort Complex, was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

A la izquierda del templo hay una gran estancia, como una especie de nave, en la que cada día se da de comer a unas 2000 personas. A la hora de la comida; los peregrinos sikhs, hombres, mujeres y niños se disponen en largas filas, sentados en el suelo; en unos platos metálicos sirven la comida que consiste básicamente en lentejas y arroz.
Todos los sikhs bautizados deben vestir el uniforme de las 5-K, cinco símbolos físicos que les identifican, que consiste en:
-Kesh (pelo): el pelo sin cortar es símbolo de espiritualidad.
-Kirpan (espada): la espada o puñal es símbolo de la lucha Sikh contra la injusticia y la opresión religiosa.
-Kara (ajorca): el brazalete de acero es símbolo de moderación y recuerdo de Dios.
-Kangha (peine): el peine es símbolo de higiene y disciplina.
-Kachha (calzoncillos o bragas): un tipo especial de ropa interior que es símbolo de control propio.

Delhi ist die Hauptstadt Indiens und eine ausgedehnte Metropolregion im Norden des Landes. In Alt-Delhi, einem Viertel aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, befinden sich das imposante Rote Fort aus der Mogulzeit, eines der Wahrzeichen Indiens, und die weitläufige Moschee Jama Masijd (auch Freitagsmoschee), in deren Innenhof 25.000 Menschen Platz finden. In der Nähe liegt Chandni Chowk, ein lebhafter Basar mit Imbissen, Süßigkeitenläden und Gewürzständen. Wikipedia

India Day 2 - Delhi
On a rooftop above the Spice Market we should have a good view across Delhi, the fog and smog are preventing us from seeing too far!
Delhi is a very polluted city. The sky takes a brown colour all round the year because of dust and pollutants. The predictions of rain this year(2009) are not encouraging either. However after a brief spell of rains, the dust settled down and the mighty Sun God showered its blessings.
Yeah hai Delhi Meri Jaan.
