Delhi

After leaving the Palace on Wheels I spent three days in Delhi seeing the sights: government buildings designed by Lutyens, Humayun's Tomb, Kalkaji Devi temple, the Red Fort, some of Old Delhi, and the Indira Gandhi memorial museum (in her former residence). The delicate beauty of the Diwan-i-Kas at the Red Fort inspired a Persian poet to write: 'If there is paradise on earth,/it is here, it is here, it is here.' At the Gandhi museum, the garden path where she was shot has been covered with sheets of shiny material to mimick ripples on a river, and a crystal covers drops of her blood at the spot where she fell mortally wounded.
