India - Delhi

India is a wonderful country to experience.
The country is super diverse and has a fantastic cultural heritage. The travel in India can be both amazing and shocking together.
The life in India consists of several realities separated by enormous gaps.

The most well known symbol of Delhi, the India Gate


New Delhi

The passport control area of New Delhi airport is decorated with Indian dance hand gestures.

The main transport in Delhi are constantly honking tuk-tuks.
Honking in general means act of presence, not the warning, that's why everyone honks on the streets.

Lots of stuff is happening on the streets

The underground cables, pipelines etc are marked with cool looking stones

Lotus temple is one of the modern architectural wonders 

Women wear colorful national dresses


School uniform is mandatory in India

Girls uniform looks like national dresses

Humayun Tomb is one of the few places in Delhi to hide from noisy streets and enjoy the fantastic architecture

Another popular sight is Qutub Minar, with the highest minaret in India


On all Indian Rupees is portrayed Mahatma Gandhi  

Surprisingly on one of the central streets there is a monument to Russian poet Lev Tolstoy

All over the Delhi the tiny squirrels are running here and there 

The major tourist trap of Delhi is astronomical complex called Jantar-Mantar

Some very cool street art can be spotted 

Indian number plates have probably the most number of symbols in the world


Delhi hosts probably the most beautiful water reservoir of the world

No posters are normally used for advertisements but the walls are painted directly 

Some people live on the streets

 Delhi hosts one of the major temples of Sikhism, in temple they distribute free food for everyone

 Connaught place is a very huge circular market with super large flag of India in the center
The old Delhi is a complete chaos, and is super densely populated.
Even dogs don't find a peaceful place for sleep, so they sleep on the car roofs.

Street food is everywhere, looks super attractive when hungry, but better to not eat

Jama Masjid is in the center of old Delhi and is the largest mosque of India

Goats chills from hustle and bustle 

New Delhi has a very well developed metro network

 Spitting in metro is fined with 200 rupees

People spit very often because they like to chew tobacco.
The guy prepares the chewing tobacco by wrapping them in some special leaves.

The Red Fort is a magnificent place with super large territory consisting beautiful historical buildings
