Geographically, Delhi is in the form of a circle radius of 30 km and is like a huge blob of black and gray on the edge of the Indo Gangetic plain, one of the flattest, most fertile and most densely populated in world. To the east and north of Delhi are the green fields of the plain to the west is the Thar Desert and south of the river Yamuna. Some 300km north of Delhi are the mountains of the Himalayas.

Delhi is not an ordinary city. It has always been the vortex of important political events and has a solid historical experience. Given the fact that it was governed by some of the most powerful emperors in Indian history, Delhi has witnessed political turmoil for more than five centuries. Input stage with the first ruler who recognized the strategic advantages of location, it has since never looked back. Every wall and pillar of ruined monuments and ruins has its own history to tell. All of yesterday is filled with history. Delhi has a majestic and royal history which is quite bright for the rise and fall of different rules. While the leaders came and went, the city has lived through wars and resurrection, repeatedly rising from the ashes. There is no denying the fact that the history of India revolves around the rich history of Delhi.

Nobody really knows when Delhi has begun. Archaeological excavations near the city have unearthed the ruins that are thousands of years. Some of these ruins have been identified with the Indus culture.

Evidence of housing around Delhi from early history to the medieval period comes mainly from archaeological excavations on the site Purana Quila. Evidence of the Mauryan period (300 BC) is provided by the emergence of the North Black Polished Ware (NBPW), an earthenware marked by a shiny surface, and punch marked coins. According to Sharma YD "Housing seems to have started at or near the site of Delhi about three thousand years.

Known as the Painted Grey Ware (PGW), the pottery is often dated to 1000 BC Archaeological c.
