Delhi, the capital of India,
is an amalgam of the old and the new. The ancient and the modern times are
in juxtaposition here in delhi, not only in the remains of a
 succession of empires,
but equally in present social structure and lifestyles. The name Delhi, Dehali, or Dilli is derived from Dhillika, the name of the
first medieval township of Delhi, located on the southwestern border of
the present Delhi, in Mehrauli. This was the first in the series of seven
medieval cities. It is also known as Yoginipura, that is, the fortress of
the yoginis (female divinities).Delhi
There was, however, an ancient
urban settlement in Delhi known as Indraprastha on the banks of the Yamuna
which is traditionally believed to have been founded by the Pandava
brothers, the mythical heroes of Mahabharata, the national epic of India.
Excavations at the site of the township inside Purana Kila or the Old Fort
show that the
 date
of the oldest habitation in Delhi is around the 3rd or 4th century B.C.Delhihotels
