The Jama Masjid of Delhi is India's largest mosque.
Delhi's architecture is a terrific reflection of India's diversity.
In two days, I crisscrossed the city with a hired driver to ensure I could catch a glimpse of as many of the sights as possible.
The good news is you can see most of them that quickly, though I'd recommend spending more than a few days to enjoy it more fully.

The India Gate in Delhi is one of India's largest war memorials.
The entrance to Raj Ghat, a memorial to mark the site of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation in 1948.
The Bahá'à House of Worship in Delhi is known as the Lotus Temple due to its shape. It is open to people of all faiths.
Humayun's Tomb in Delhi is the architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal.

Hi Dave, I've been to Delhi only once and I was very impressed with this Mughal architecture. The site of Humayun's tomb was especially beautiful. Thanks for the pictures! Priyank
