Delhi is the largest metropolis of India and eighth largest of the World. It started as Indrapatta (aka Indraprastha), a small settlement by Pandavas within the Khandva Forest near river Yamuna around 800 BC. Later in 736 AD, Tomar kings established a new city named Lal Kot not far from this historic land. Since then, 100+ rulers from 15 dynasties tried to change the face and fate of Delhi and established 9 cities adjacent to each other. This website talks about over 1300 monuments, which still exist within the boundaries of these historic cities namely Indraprastha, Lal Kot & Qila Rai Pithora, Dar-Ul-khilafat (aka Siri), Tughlaqabad, Jahanpanah, Ferozabad, Deenpanah and Shergarh, Shahjahanabad and the Lutyen’s Delhi.

Delhi consists of 3 World Heritage Sites, 174 National Protected Monuments and over hundreds of state protected monuments and several unprotected and lesser known monuments. While the government agencies and several NGOs do their part in restoring these forgotten masterpieces of architecture to their original glory, we have taken the responsibility to introduce them to the world, so they are no longer ignored and lost in time. Monuments-Of-Delhi is not just about few dozen old buildings, it is about several ancient mosques, baolis, havelis, walls, gateways, forts, gardens and roads, decorating Delhi, the capital of India.
