So I saw something cool

[shemakesmefeellikeprey]

A Lion in the Lotus

8 thousand miles away,

A flower blooms toward the sky,

Nine petals reach for Savaraga,

Inside the Lotus,

Under the eye of The Greatest Name,

A lioness pads on cool floors,

Warmth in abundance.

She is everywhere. For;

She is energy. The energy in the life clamoring around her;

She is everything; She is the air I breathe.

Talking about Delhi ❤❤

The thing I found most fascinating about Delhi is how vibrant everything is there is—from the food to the people. 🍕🍔🍟👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🍳

If Delhi is the heart of the country, then its heart beat is always racing. There is no possible way to escape the energy that Delhi's countless attractions bring with them. Well, the country's capital also serves as a hub for positive developments. From historical monuments to street food. The top coliving residences to the finest colleges.

Let's discuss about Interesting Facts About Delhi You Should Know.

The Red Fort was Originally White

Red Fort is one of the best things about Delhi, especially if you love history. But did you know this monument was not always red in colour? According to the Archaeological Survey of India, it was actually made of white limestone and when the colour started chipping off, some British officials decided to paint it red.

Tallest Minaret in the World

If you search for information about New Delhi on the internet, you won’t find a single place that doesn’t mention Qutub Minar. After all, it is not only a special historical monument but also the tallest brick minaret in the whole world. It was built way back in 1200 AD, but the Minar stands “tall” even today.

Asia’s Largest Spice Market

Even though it’s situated really close to the Red Fort, there are high chances that you might not have heard of this one. Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market, started somewhere in the 17th century and continues to be a bubbly marketplace to date. Do visit this market if you want to spice up your food (or your knowledge about Delhi). Quite literally.

Asia’s Largest Wholesale Market for Fruit and Vegetables

Speaking of Asia’s largest markets, Delhi has another one of them. The Azadpur wholesale is the largest fruit and vegetable market in all of Asia. If you love fruits, this is the place to be. From local produce to international varieties of kiwi, Alphonso mango, peach, you will find everything here. And for the ones who have chosen the organic life, you’ll find plenty of options too. Just for a few extra bucks.

Only Bahai Temple in Asia

If you already didn’t know this about Delhi, let us tell you that the city houses the only temple dedicated to the Baha’i religion in Asia. In fact, Lotus Temple is one of the eight Bahai temples in the entire world. It’s open to people of all religions and is no longer just a place of worship anymore. It’s a place you can come to meditate, date or simply take some aesthetic pictures.
