A Memorable Day in Delhi: Visiting India’s Historic Powerhouses

After exploring the beautiful landscapes of Meghalaya, our next stop was Delhi, India’s capital city. Stepping into Delhi felt like a shift from nature’s peace to the lively energy of history, politics, and culture.

Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House: 

The highlight of our visit was a rare opportunity to see two of the most iconic places in Indian democracy: the Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House. Thanks to our friend Jagganna, who had arranged passes for us, we gained entry into these renowned buildings, symbols of India’s democratic strength and rich history.

Seeing Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official home of India’s President, was unforgettable. The grand building combined Indian and European architecture, representing both tradition and modern governance. Although we couldn’t take any pictures inside, walking through the ceremonial rooms and admiring the beautiful halls made us feel proud and connected to India’s past.

Our visit to Parliament House was equally special. Known as the heart of Indian democracy, it’s where the country’s leaders make decisions and debate important issues. Walking through the same halls as India’s lawmakers was humbling and exciting, and even without photos, the experience left a lasting impression.

Luckily, we were able to capture some photos outside the premises of Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House. Though we couldn’t take pictures inside, these shots outside the buildings are still cherished reminders of our visit to these iconic places. The photos capture the grand architecture and the significance of these historic landmarks, adding to our collection of memories from this special day in Delhi.

After a long day of sightseeing, we headed to Maharashtra Bhavan for dinner. The meal was delicious, offering authentic flavors of Maharashtra, and was a perfect end to our day. The food was rich and satisfying, making it a great place to unwind and refuel.

We made a quick stop at India Gate just to snap this photo

This visit to Delhi was truly memorable, from the powerful halls of Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House to the cozy dinner at Maharashtra Bhavan. It was a unique experience that connected us to India’s heritage and gave us a fresh appreciation for our country’s incredible journey.
