Delhi is the National Capital of India, having the Country's Parliament functioning there and the residence of the President of India Rashtrapathi Bhavan is located there and most of the big business houses have their Headquarters in this City. It had been the Capital of the country's rulers such as Mughal kings in earlier days, British Government followed suit with its Viceroy placed here and Independent India continues to operate its country's affairs from this place, although it is not the mid point of the vast country. More reasons are there for such a choice of HQ of India, which may include its closeness to spots of importance carrying mythological references, approachability to summer time abodes and sacred places of worship located in Himachal Pradesh thereby making this National capital territory inviting every traveler to plan holidays of leisure or tours of learning, in a Delhi tour.
