Things to do in New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi: The Best Specialty Museums
New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

Apparently the museum was an initiative by President Pranab Mukarjee. Open to the public. The museum has a wonderful collection of gifts received by the various Presidents during their foreign visits or when visiting dignitaries visit the President. Excellent presentation, wonderful lighting and amazing collection of artifacts. Entry is free. Guide available. The museum is a hidden treasure as it's not aggressively advetised. While at Delhi, this museum is strongly recommend.

Using paintings, murals, digital technology, screens, projections and multi language sound, the museum highlights key tenents of Sikhisim. There is one god Shabad or Bani is the supreme guru. our gurus were willing to sacrifice their lives not just for their ideals but also for all oppressed communities irrespective of their religion of belief. The religion is secular, it is antiritualism.

A great place to know indian independence struggle and role of mahatma gandhi in it. Visited by many foreign touristers. The place is really well maintained and organised. It even houses a small library with reading facility and also a shop selling khadi products. Located in a beautiful garden is the place where gandhiji was shot dead. Open to public and easily accessible.It is a place worth a visit if u r in Delhi.

One of the most visited Vedic museum depicting the ancient science of Veda through animated, robotic and picturesque form.A part of ISKCON Delhi, it dwell you into the new world of ancient science imbibed by the devotees through out the ages. Bhagavat Gita show is the most popular among the many others mainly because of the main effect of the "sound and light". May you enjoy your journey in the path enunciated by Krishna to Arjuna which was ultimately meant for everyone present, past or future.

Reviewed By Aethelred - Cambridge, United States
especially not in one that decontextualizes massively and doesn't allow for worship or even devotion. It is interesting how the musealized Buddhist statues in e.g. the National Museum in Phnom Penh are worshipped; this is allowed - here not. For hygiene reasons (wilting flowers?); for some19th idea of science as museums as part of it? The Buddhist collection of the National Museum is anyway weak and the display just okay (still it is nice), but I would hope restoration of the Holy Relics to a pagoda some time very soon.
