3. Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple

There are many extravagant and horizon-grabbing temples in New Delhi, a capital that prefers to take its public worship to as grand-a-scale as possible. There's only one, however, that can stand the claim of being the largest Hindu temple in the world: the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple. And that distinction, of being the 'World's Largest Comprehensive Hindu Temple', was awarded by none-other than the Guinness World Book of Records. It doesn't just have size on its side, either. It is wildly popular too. Some estimate that 7-in-10 of visitors to Delhi will come to this Hindu temple during their stay.

5. Red Fort

Today's New Delhi is the 'eighth city' in Delhi's millennia-long story. One of the most glorious of its past incarnations was Shahjahanabad, the seventh city, of the Mughals. At its heart was the luminous, turreted-and-spired magnificence of Qila-i-Mubarak, the 'Blessed Fort' – better known today as the Red Fort.
