Pictures from Instagram accounts that capture the spirit of Delhi
They say every city has a character that imbibes the soul of that region - from the mad hustle bustle on the streets to calm, quiet corners, each city speaks a language of its own.
Delhi gets a bad rap but there's more to India's vibrant capital than the polluted air, the standstill traffic and the lack of safety. Fuming in a car that hasn't moved for 15 minutes or having to be on guard while walking the streets makes us forget this all too often.
