New Delhi
New Delhi is India's capital—a city of layered histories, where Mughal monuments stand beside British colonial architecture, and ancient spiritual traditions pulse through modern streets. It's a place of contradictions that somehow cohere: chaos and order, poverty and opulence, the sacred and the everyday all moving together. The energy is relentless, the light is golden, and the sheer scale of human activity can feel like standing inside the world's beating heart.
