New Delhi serves as capital and the seat of the executive, judiciary and legislative branches of the Indian Government. A planned city designed by two British architects, it was founded in 1911. A bustling city of nearly 17 million people, New Delhi is the hub of Indian commerce, arts, education, finance, tourism and healthcare. Described as ‘one of the ultimate cities of a lifetime to visit and explore’, New Delhi is known for its boulevards lined with trees and is home to two World Heritage Sites, national institutions and museums.
A place to visit in New Delhi is the Deer Park in Hauz Khas Village. With deer roaming leisurely around this verdant park, it is a paradise for morning walkers and a relaxing oasis to enjoy a picnic in the picnic huts scattered around, while taking in the sight of deer, birds and butterflies.
The Hauz Khas Village, where the deer park is located, has a medieval history dating back to the 13th Century. Its moor heritage is proven by the several tombs of Muslim royalty studding the village. The centrepiece of this village is a huge man-made lake and some grand, old buildings, such as a Madarasa, an Islamic seminary and a mosque. The remains of these buildings lend an ethereal ambience to Hauz Khas Village. Legend has it that this village was rediscovered by a fashion designer who fell in love with its beauty and opened a boutique. This sparked a trend that has turned Hauz Khas to a cultural hotspot. The uniqueness of this place is that it is throbbing with the energy of a cosmopolis while in a setting of a rural environment. Today the Hauz Khas Village is not only home to fashion boutiques but also chic restaurants and watering holes.
