South Delhi
South Delhi is a blend of both ancient and New
Delhi. South Delhi ranges from congested by lanes of villages
like Munirka to swanky localities like Hauz khaz, Vasant Vihar,
Greater Kailash, C R Park, Panchsheel Enclave, South Extension,
Defence Colony, Friends Colony, Green Park etc. Delhi made its inroads
by expanding to every potential location within the periphery of
Delhi and South Delhi is the outcome of this very fact. New buildings,
posh localities, improved shopping complexes, malls and world class
infrastructure can be seen in South Delhi.
Well,
we can’t ignore the historic aspect
of South Delhi, which is built around the historic cities
of Siri (the second city of Delhi, built by Allaudin Khilji in 1303
A.D.), Tughlaqabad (built by Ghiasuddin Tughlak in the 14th century)
and Jahanpanah (built by Mohammed bin Tughlaq in 1327). The natural
mix of old and new Delhi can be seen in localities
of South Delhi where exquisite showrooms, restaurants and
other modern
infrastructural facilities have been developed but the historical
charm still exists.
South Delhi lies in the range of Aravalli Mountain and you can find
rocky structures and clave in most parts of South Delhi. With new
infrastructural changes taking place in South Delhi, the age old historic
importance seems to be camouflaged by new structures, shopping malls,
hotels and residential societies.
South Delhi is famous for its tourist attraction which depicts the
ancient historic remains like Hauz Khas, Qutub
Minar, Tughlaqabad.
New structures such as Lotus
Temple, Chtrapur Mandir, Kalindi Kunj and Lodi
garden make South Delhi a much sought after location in terms
of tourism. The infrastructure and immaculate roads make transit
an easy ride.
Shopping in South Delhi
South Delhi is also famous for the shopping spree. Street markets
and shops in Sarojini Nagar will make
your shopping a wonderful experience because the place has to offer
quality and fashionable items at a very cheap price. It can be said
that the market suits all pockets and caters to the need of each and
every society of Delhi. Sarojini Nagar is the hot destination for
young boys and girls as they get to shop latest fashionable items.
The reason behind the items sold here being cheap is the rejected
export material because of some minor production faults.
Close to Sarojinin Nagar is "Dilli
Haat" which is famous for handicrafts, ornaments and food.
Dillli Haat is one of the main tourist attractions
of Delhi because here you will find the blend of whole India
with stalls from each and every state of India depicting the very
specialty of respective states. Among other shopping
destinations of South Delhi, there are markets in Hauz Khaz,
South Extension, Lajpat Nagar and M G Road.
