Sair-e-Dilli Chronicles of Change

Delhi has been marked by a unique pattern of historic development. A succession of different capitals was founded on adjacent yet distinctive sites, each claiming to be the Delhi of its time while superseding all older Delhi's. Unlike most cities with long histories, Delhi’s successive sites were not built upon, obscured from view or forgotten. Instead, the city’s archaeology lies exposed to view—each layer of its history occupying one or more spaces.
