Here we tell you some
interesting facts about Delhi & Jaipur. Both cities are capital, Jaipur is
the capital of Rajasthan and Delhi is the national capital of India.
About the Delhi
Histories- It has been an important political center of India as the capital of
several empires. Extensive coverage of Delhi's history begins with the onset of
the Delhi Sultanate in the 12th century. Since then, Delhi has been the center
of a succession of mighty empires and powerful kingdoms, making Delhi one of
the longest-serving capitals and one of the oldest inhabited cities in the
world. It is considered to be a city built, destroyed and rebuilt several
times, as outsiders who successfully invaded the Indian Subcontinent would
ransack the existing capital city in Delhi, and those who came to conquer and
stay would be so impressed by the city's strategic location as to make it their
capital and rebuild it in their own way. It is hard to beat. The moment you
step out and walk through the gate across the road, you co-exist in multiple
time zones, like Doctor Who. It hosts a flower festival from the Mughal era
every September, which was created to celebrate the release of a young nobleman
from prison who was accused of trying to murder a British resident. Side by
side is buildings from the Sultanate, and Victorian follies, and tombs of Sufi
saints. The most famous monument here is the Qutb Minar, standing tall since
1220, despite lightning, earthquakes, and attempts by the British to change it.
Delhi or Dilli, also
famous as 'Dilwale ki Dilli' is the capital city of India and is usually known
for its rich cultural heritage and lifestyle. Officially called the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT) is the largest metropolitan city of the country and the second largest with respect to the
population.

Rajputs who ruled Amer in Rajasthan before the capital was moved to the present
day Jaipur. The construction of the fort was commenced in 1592 by Raja Man
Singh I over the remnants of an earlier fortified structure. The fort was built
with red sandstone. It was modified by successive rulers for 150 next years.
