Agrasen (or Ugrasen) ki Baoli - A ‘baoli’ is a step-well built to store natural water in earlier days, which also provided respite to travelers. It is believed that it was originally built by the legendary
king Agrasen during the Mahabharat epic era and rebuilt in the 14th century by the Agrawal community which traces its origin to Maharaja Agrasen.
• Parliament House is a circular colonnaded building. This is where the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha sessions of the Indian Parliament are held.
• Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) - Rashtrapati Bhawan, spread out on Raisina Hill, is the official residence of the President of India and the central point of New Delhi. Designed by Sir Edwin
Landseer Lutyens, the architect of New Delhi, it housed the Viceroy during the British Rule in India until 1947.
• India Gate - This 42 metre high monument was built in 1931 as a memorial for Indian and British soldiers martyred during World War I and the Afghan War. The names of the martyrs are inscribed

guarded by the flags of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force.

• Qutub Minar - An important example of the Indo-Islamic architecture, the Qutub Minar standing at a height of 73 m, is the tallest brick minaret in the world. A World Heritage Site, this tower of
victory was built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the 1st Muslim ruler of Delhi, immediately after the defeat of Delhi’s last Hindu kingdom. At the foot of the tower is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque,
the first mosque to be built in India. Close to the mosque is one of Delhi's most curious antiques, the Iron Pillar. It is said that if you can encircle it with your hands while standing with your back to
it your wish will be fulfilled.
