Culture

Delhi’s culture revolves around festivals, modern arts, and paintings, jewellery, cuisine, and religion by not harming the tradition. Delhi is the capital city so it is a land of festivals by highlighting different cultures and traditions of different locations. Some festivals are included in the Cultural Heritage of Delhi like Diwali, Dussehra, Holi, Lohri, and Mahavir Jayanti.

As January begins, the chain of festivals comes along with enthusiasm and excitement.

Delhi is one of the best art centres and shows some great paintings and caricatures from the Mughal Period. To preserve these art forms another segment lies in “embroidery.” Embroidery is a type of painting or design which is done using threads on a piece of cloth. Delhi being a state of vibrant art forms has given employment to 27% of the people in the pottery. Be it gold or copper jewellery, you will find all.

Religious Beliefs

Delhi is not religion biased; people of Delhi cherish every religion. CP is the heart of Delhi. A vibrant market which attracts a lot of visitors. Earlier, it was a business complex but as the population increased the people converted that place to a rich market. This place is circumscribed by all religions, like in centre we have a Hindu religion temple, going forward we will find a Sikh pilgrimage, and opposite to it, we can see the Christians preaching the Christ in church and enclosure we have a Muslim’s religious place. Every place in Delhi is famous for the food joints around the corner.

Though people of Delhi or “Delhiites” works on a very close-knit platform where they have to interact with multiple cultures and religions throughout the day, this makes Delhi a place of reliability, in terms of expansion of business or meeting the food and beverage requirements.
