  • 31st May 2013, Connaught Place, New Delhi, India. General view of Rajiv Chowk skyline and central park, Connaught Place, New Delhi, India on the 31st May 2013.<br />
<br />
Connaught Place is one of the largest financial, commercial and business centers in Delhi. It is often abbreviated as CP and houses the headquarters of several Indian firms. Its surroundings occupy a place of pride, counted among the top heritage structures of the city. It was developed as a showpiece of Lutyens' Delhi featuring a Central Business District. Named after the Duke of Connaught, the construction work was started in 1929 and completed in 1933. The inner circle of Connaught Place was renamed Rajiv Chowk (after the late Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi) and the Outer Circle was renamed Indira Chowk by Union Home Minister S.B. Chavan. Today, Connaught Place is one of the most vibrant business districts of Delhi. It is the fourth most expensive office destination in the world, according to global property consultant CBRE Group<br />

She lived through the last major earthquake to hit Nepal 81 years ago in 1934. <br />
<br />
Sindhupalchowk District has seen around 2100 deaths as of 3rd May 2015 which is nearly a third of all fatalities recorded in Nepal from the earthquake with magnitude 7.8 that occurred near Lamjung, Nepal, 50 miles northeast of the capital Kathmandu at 06:11:26 UTC on Apr 25, 2015. The capital has seen considerable devastation including the nine-story Dharahara Tower, one of Kathmandu's landmarks built by Nepal's royal rulers as a watchtower in the 1800s and a UNESCO-recognised historical monument. It was reduced to rubble and there were reports of people trapped. Portions of historic buildings in the World Heritage gazetted site of Patan have also been destroyed as well as many buildings in the old city. <br />

  • View of the central square at the Jama Masjid mosque in Old Delhi from ground level packed with worshippers, at morning prayers during Eid, 21st September 2009. Eid is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. <br />
<br />
The Masjid-i Jahan-Namaa (Persian: , the 'World-reflecting Mosque'), commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the principal mosque of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, and completed in the year 1656 AD, it is one of the largest and best-known mosques in India. It lies at the origin of a very busy central street of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk.<br />
The later name, Jaama Masjid, is a reference to the weekly Friday noon congregation prayers of Muslims, which are usually done at a mosque, the "congregational mosque" or "jaama masjid". The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshipers. The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including a copy of the Qur'an written on deer skin.<br />
<br />
The mosque was the result of the efforts of over 5,000 workers, over a period of six years. The cost incurred on the construction in those times was 10 lakh (1 million) Rupees. Shah Jahan built several important mosques in Delhi, Agra, Ajmer and Lahore. The Jama Masjid's floorplan is very similar to the Jama Masjid at Agra, but the Jama Masjid is the bigger and more imposing of the two. Its majesty is further enhanced because of the high ground that he selected for building this mosque. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid of Lahore built by Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb in 1673 is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi.<br />

  • 19th September, 2012, Chandni Chowk,  Hardayal Municipal Public Library in Old Delhi plays host to many stray cats.<br />
This Raj-era library, was instituted by the British in 1862, when it was called the Institute Library. Now housing some 8,000 rare books (of a total of 1,70,000) in a building nearly a century old it has close to 1,200 members and gets several hundred visitors a day. The rare books include a 1677 edition of Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World and a Herodotus volume in the original Greek from 1826. But these books, like the library, are currently facing a threat. It has been four months since the library received salaries for its staff, let alone development funds and its feared it will be closed.<br />
