Episode 4 Lutyens' Delhi: The Last Imperial Capital of the World
Are there water fountains on the roof of the Rashtrapati Bhavan? Why is Mehrauli Park so green? Why is New Delhi called Lutyens' Delhi?
Built at the beginning of the end of the British rule, from a symbol of imperial might to becoming India's beacon of hope to its present state as one of the most endangered heritage cities in the world, New Delhi's story is as colorful and problematic as can be expected. In this podcast, we explore the history of making India's capital city which was also the last imperial capital city in the world.
