On the second day of The Rajputana Experience tour, you will undertake a special journey to tourist attractions of Old Delhi. There are quite a few citadels and other structures worth a visit on travel to Delhi.

Old Delhi, earlier known as Shahjahanabad, was the capital of Mughal ruler Shah Jahan and is a must-visit during sightseeing in Delhi. The gates in Old Delhi, namely Kashmiri Gate, Ajmeri Gate, Delhi Gate and Turkman Gate were the entrances into the city.

Some of the famous tourist attractions in Old Delhi are:

Red Fort
Built by Shah Jahan, the Red Fort is situated on the banks of River Yamuna. Exhibiting splendid Indo-Islamic architecture, the fort is built in red sandstone and hence called so. The light and sound show organized here in the evenings is a major attraction of Old Delhi.

Jama Masjid
The largest mosque in India, the Jama Masjid was built in 1650. Located just opposite the Red Fort, it is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for followers of Islam. The mosque can accommodate 2000 worshippers at the time of Namaz.

Chandni Chowk
The most popular market place and food hub of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk is more than 300 years old. Shah Jahan's daughter Jahanara designed this marketplace. It has endless wholesale and retail shops and is the best bet for shopping in Delhi.

The Ghats
These are those places on the banks of Yamuna where prominent Indian leaders were cremated. Raj Ghat, the site where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated is one of the most visited sites in Old Delhi. The other sites nearby are Shanti Van. Shakti Sthal, Veer Bhumi and Vijay Ghat.
