Delhi India
Tourism

Delhi's history goes much further back in time than the 13th century. In
1955, excavations at the Purana Qila revealed that the site was inhabited
3000 years ago. Ware pottery known as Painted Gray Ware and dated to 1000
BC confirmed this as being yet another site associated with the epic Mahabharata.
The excavations also cut through houses and streets of the Sultanate, Rajput,
post-Gupta, Gupta, Saka-Kushan and Sunga periods, reaching down to the Mauryan
era (300 BC), thus revealing almost continuous habitaion. The association
of Emperor Ashoka (273-36 BC) with Delhi has come to light with the discovery
of a Minor Rock Edict in the locality known as Srinivaspuri.

The Rajputs rose to prominence in the 9th and 10th centuries, and were a
major force to reckon with medieval India. Passionately attached to their

a strong chivalric code of conduct. Myths and legends of their valour, gallantry,
sacrifice and courage are legion. There are many heroes among the Rajputs,
such as Prithviraj Chauhan, who fought successfully against the invader
Muhammad Ghori in the battle of Tarain (1191), although he died on the same
battlefield in the following year.
