Haunted Places in Delhi

By Unknown
1) Delhi Cantonment – Most Haunted Place in Delhi (South West Delhi-10) Cantonment Calling ( Source ) A middle-aged woman clad in  white sari  asks you for a lift, and the time is well nigh past midnight. You are freaked out to the hilt and rev up the engines of your vehicle. To your utter dismay, you find that the same figure in pristine white is racing abreast of your vehicle quite comfortably. In that surrounding darkness of the cantonment area, it won’t take anything more to make you jump out of your skin. Well, this is what has supposedly happened with a number of passers-by through the area, at night. The woman clad in white sari is supposed to embody the  ghost of a lady  who was killed while hitchhiking her way to some place. Considered to be one of the most haunted places in Delhi, you’d better be sitting inside a vehicle whose engine can easily outpace that figure while venturing there. 2) Dwarka (Sector 9) Metro Station Dare to take the la...

Best Places to visit in Delhi

By Unknown
Here's a list of the top places to visit in Delhi. 1. LOTUS TEMPLE The Lotus Temple or the Bahá’í House of Worship is an architectural masterpiece which will make you want to go ‘wow’ but wait, you can’t say that aloud! Well, when inside the temple, you have to maintain silence! There are no sermons or ritualistic activities practised, one can just sit in peace and pray to their respective gods. Closest metro station- Nehru Place (Violet Line) 2. AKSHARDHAM This is a must-see site and should be high on your priority list. Akshardham attracts 70% of all tourists who visit Delhi (not surprising at all!). Once you enter, I bet you wouldn’t want to leave. It has jaw-dropping architecture, a fascinating fountain show, an informative boat ride, a huge garden, a food court that offers scrumptious dishes and much more. Closest metro station- Akshardham (Blue Line) 3. NATIONAL GALLERY OF MODERN ART (NGMA) If you are an art enthusiast or just like to go ‘aww’ over f...
