Delhi has roughly 2 main areas:

The Old core of the city, called Old Delhi, in the north, is the dedalus of narrow streets around the Red Fort and the Jami Masjid mosque.

The new part of the city is crossed by huge ordered avenues and big monuments and government buildings. This area around Connaught Place and the Gate of India is called New Delhi.

Nice from outside. I can't confirm the inside was worth the visit as I had to renounce to it due to some VIP movements.

We took a cycle rickshaw to spend the time we had planned to allocate to the visit of the red fort.. The photo is blurry as i took it from the rickshaw in full motion...

Sisganj Gurudwara

Guru Teg Bahadur was beheaded under the trunk of a Banyan tree.
As we came here we saw that the building's stairs where with running water, so we looked where we could leave our shoes. As we asked they took us to the information office. There a sikh man guide us through the temple and explain us all about sikh traditions.
About the not cuting their hair, about the equal of men and woman, and about the simbol of nife they wear.
After a time he asked us if you wanted to eat, and we accept. He took us to a building near where lots of people where waiting, he explain us that all that people came here for eat free and that here also they could had a free place to rest or medicine.
So we sit down at the floor with lots of people for eat.
He asked us after for a donative that we gave with pleasure.

Isa Khan Tomb

At the centre of the garden of entrance you will find at the right, an octagonal building with five tombs inside but there is no inscription to know of whom they are. Beautifull arches and lattice windows. There are stairs inside to get up to somewhere ... but they where full of bats and we decided not to get up :))

Address: Mathura Rd.

Directions: Near Nizamuddin Station

dreamlike...

2 to 3.5h hours train from Delhi.
Try to arrive before the sunrise if you wish to take this photograph without to many tourists on it.
Anything else i'd add would spoil the magic of this place ... Look at it and enjoy .. or book your plane ticket to india right now !
