pretensions.

Delhi was established between 900 B.C and 1930. Delhi's famous "seven

cities" range from the 12th century Quila Rai Pithora, built by Prithviraj

Chauhan, to the imperial Shajahanabad, constructed by the Mughals in

the 17th century.

Of the many attractions in Delhi, the major sites are the Rashtrapati
