Once Upon a Time in Delhi

The adventurous, the ambitious and the brave coveted its throne. One invader after another crossed the mighty Himalayas to seek a fortune here. A pivot of power down the ages, it fascinated both settlers and rulers, to become the capital of mighty empires. Across centuries, the 'Delhi Triangle' of about 200 square kilometres became the base of many a powerful monarch, with a different name and location every time: Dillika, Siri, Tughlakabad, Jahanpanah, Firozabad, Purana Qila and Shahjahanabad.
