You step into Delhi through the car window: a corridor of banyan shadows, sudden marble domes, and a river of scooters threading humid morning air. The day unfolds as a contrast—Old Delhi’s narrow alleys where spice-scented smoke pushes at your sleeves, then New Delhi’s broad avenues lined with colonial-era columns and stately government residences.
