Central Delhi is the heart of the new imperial capital built by the British in the early 20th century. The British moved their capital from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911 and built the city of New Delhi as their modern imperial capital city.
Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, New Delhi has grand buildings and elegant tree-lined avenues. India Gate is a central landmark in New Delhi. While on a tour of Central Delhi you can see the central vista of Rajpath, its adjacent grand buildings, the Parliament House, North and South Block and the Presidential Mansion posed majestically atop Raisina Hill.
