Birla
Temple - Very popular among the Hindus, the Birla Temple is also
known as Lakshmi Narayan Temple and was built by the industrial family
of the Birlas. It is situated near the Connaught Place and has gradually
become a part of the skyline of New Delhi though it was not conceived by
Edwyn Lutyens. The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Vishnu. Old Fort - It is believed that the site where the Old Fort is located was the very place where the ancient city of Indraprastha was located. The constructed of it was started by Humayun but most of it was destroyed by Sher Shah who overthrew Humayun. After he was through with the destruction of the place he later built his own city instead on the same place. However, when Humayun wrested the city back, he did not destroy the buildings built by Sher Shah. Rather he completed the unfinished work of his predecessor and used the structures erected by Sher Shah. Jama Masjid - Though it is located only at the distance of about half a km from the Red Fort of India, yet Jama Masjid is not overshadowed by the magnificence of it. Jama Masjid itself is the largest mosque in India which inspires the human beings to bow before the Almighty. Its construction work was started by Shahjahan which was completed only after six years. The structure of the mosque is such that you can enter it from both the directions. Departure From Delhi Get on board the train that counts among the most luxurious trains in the world.
