Delhi, the heart of India, stands at the crossroads of history and modernity, where centuries- old traditions commingle with fast life.

CITY HIGHLIGHTS

Dilli Haat: A Celebration Of Culture And Craft

Among DTTDC’s most cherished initiatives is Dilli Haat, the open-air marketplace bringing together artisans, craftsmen, and food stalls from across India. The corporation operates three haats—INA, Pitampura, and Janakpuri—each offering an authentic window into the country’s rich cultural tapestry. Built around the pillars of craft, cuisine, and culture, the three Dilli Haats are far more than a marketplace. Here, artisans display their traditional skills, food lovers indulge in regional cuisines, and cultural performances infuse the space with colour and rhythm.

Kalam Memorial

Delhi also pays tribute to the nation’s leaders through its many memorials. The Kalam Memorial, dedicated to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, showcases personal artefacts alongside a multimedia exhibition celebrating his scientific achievements and contributions to society. It stands as a source of inspiration for young visitors, providing insight into the life of one of India’s most admired Presidents.

Garden Of Five Senses: A Tranquil Retreat In The City

The Garden of Five Senses, in South Delhi, offers a serene escape from the city’s bustle. Designed to evoke all five senses—sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell—the garden is adorned with sculptures, fountains, lush foliage, and blooming flower beds. It also hosts cultural events, art installations, and food festivals. Other notable green spaces in Delhi include Lodhi Gardens, Mughal Gardens, and Nehru Park.

Azad Hind Gram: A Blend Of History

Azad Hind Gram in Tikri Kalan is a compelling destination for history enthusiasts. Dedicated to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, this museum and memorial complex highlights his life and role in India’s freedom movement.

Coffee Home: A Blend Of Hospitality

Coffee Home in Connaught Place remains a beloved retreat, serving affordable Indian cuisine and renowned coffee—an ideal spot for a comforting break amid the city’s bustle.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Memorial

Equally significant is the Guru Tegh Bahadur Memorial, distinguished by its 24-metre-high obelisk honouring the revered Sikh guru. The site serves both as a historical landmark and a place of reflection, commemorating Guru Tegh Bahadur’s teachings and sacrifice.
