Morning light spills over narrow lanes as a tuk‑tuk threads the spice-scented air of Old Delhi, rickety and bright against the looming silhouette of Jama Masjid. The city shifts in a single day from crowded bazaars to broad ceremonial avenues—stones that hosted emperors, flags and parades—so expect contrasts at every turn.
