Have you tried an elephant ride? That may sound incredible but you can do just that in India. This is just one of what makes India an incredibly irresistible, both for leisure and business. At the centre of these attractions is Delhi, the capital city of India. Delhi is full of history, art, museums, monuments, crafts and people. It is a blend of interesting historic past of dynasties, battles and people. In Delhi, you find virtually everything from handmade Tibetan carpets, antiques and jewelry to modern art and designer clothes. Delhi is divided into two; old and New Delhi. Indians are generally very friendly, tolerant and accommodating. Indians love music and art and they have them in abundance. Indian cuisine also reflects her diversity. Each region has its own cuisine style and preparation.
Here also, women pay dowries to marry men and they work hard to do just that. New Delhi is well linked with other cities by road, rail and air.
