A Few Delhi Links
- Indra
Mani's photographs of Palika Bazaar. Quite a few photographs. Good
resolution. Great eye. This page is a gem.
- www.fondsbkvb.nl. A dutch
site made by some architects, some great photographs of various
interesting buildings from Delhi and some other Indian cities.
- R. Agrawal's Delhi Page: If any site can
be considered to be definitive it is this one. Rakesh Agrawal's Delhi
page is the one which is referred to most often. (Note: Of late this
page seems to have gone offline, I hope not permanently. If anyone
finds it relocated or whatever please let me know. Rakesh's page was
the only thing to turn to at a time before the jazzy info-sites
started to jump in, it would be a real loss if it disappeared.)
Asim's
Delhi Page: A delightful, if brief, site which goes over the
basics and also tries to focus on the contemporary in a way few
other sites do.
- ILoveIndia.com's
Delhi page:
One of the more visually pleasing sites on Delhi it contains a number
of photographs as well. They used to be Delhi INFOnet. I don't know
why they switched to this new, somewhat cheesy, name.
- The National Rail Museum in
Chankayapuri has its own website.
- Tihar Jail is on the
internet as well. Exclamation point.
- ArtIndia.net has a lot of
information about artists living in and around Delhi with informative
writeups about the arts as well.
- The
Delhi City Guide maintained on the India on Internet (sic)
site. Another tourist oriented site but with decent writeups about the
various "attractions" of Delhi.
- Images Northern India: This page
contains a number of photographs of North Indian monuments with a 4 or
5 Delhi monuments as well. Unfortunately the phots are all black and
white and in dissatisfyingly small sizes.
- World's Transportation Commission Photograph
Collection: There are a few good photos in this collection. You
will have to run a search on their database to get them.
- Harappa: An excellent site, though not
Delhi specific it has a number of visual treats out of the Indian
subcontinent.
- Lonely Planet -- Destination: Delhi:
This is a good site for the potential tourist. A good slide show.
- City.Net India, Delhi and New Delhi:
Another good site for tourist info.
- http://www.redifindia.com/travel/travhom1.htm:
Rediff on the Net's travel page which has a Delhi listing. The best
thing about this site is the short essay by Khushwant Singh which I
have shamelessly downloaded and reproduced here.
- The Indian
Parliament: Somewhere on this page are two links, one to the inscriptions in Parliament
House and the other to mural paintings in Parliament House.
- Delhigate.com:
"Delhi's first online advisory service," the blurb says. This site is
in a formative stage and provides a lot of useful info for the
potential tourist. Special attraction: "zoomable" map (I think they
mean clickable.)
- The
Delhi Zone: Another site which provides a lot of information about
Delhi it has a "Virtual tour" of some of the sights (including a photo
of the Rail Museum.) The other feature worthy of note is the email
directory of Delhiites which is not very extensive as of now.
If these aren't enough for you try using Webcrawler to search for all documents
containg the string "Delhi" in them by clicking on this gross looking
icon.
