Many people have migrated over the years to this beautiful city of India. This is probably because of this city’s many opportunities for education and jobs. In education, many colleges and institutions are available in this city.
The Aravalli Hills form an arc in the western part of the city, and the river Yamuna, one of the most religiously essential rivers according to the Hindu mythology, Mahabharata, flows across the region.
The culture of the city is unique. This is probably because of the different migrants from different backgrounds who settle in the Indian capital city. These people bring their cultures along with them. The cultures of all the constituent states of the country are put together to form the culture of this unique city. In short, we can call the region’s culture a reflection of the entire nation’s culture.
Since it is the country’s capital, it has emerged as the country’s political centre. The decisions and policies are passed in this part of the country. The city’s history has impacted its culture. The old traditional values and modern lifestyles are merged to form what Delhi’s culture looks like. There are two city sections; one is Old Delhi, and the other is New Delhi.
The culture of New Delhi is conspicuously different from that of Old Delhi. Fashion and glamour are given a lot of importance here. One prominent aspect of Delhi is the apparent contrast of cultures. On one side, you can see people enjoying the Gurbani’s of Bangla Sahib, Qawwalis of Nizamuddin Shrine and Aartis of Chattarpur Mandir.
Many fairs and festivals are also grandly celebrated in Delhi. Since people from all parts of the country live here, you will see people celebrating the Chhat Puja of Bihar in Delhi as magnificently as they celebrate the Durga Puja of Bengal. This city’s culture is additionally influenced by Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab.
