THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS are arranged
Systematically about what is practically the
east and west axis connecting the focal point
with the northwestern gate of the old fort of
Indraprasth, the legendary Hindu city-whose
half-ruined forts and castellated mansions are
still the wonder of tourists. The two great
blocks of the Secretariat buildings are stu
ated to the north and south of this focal
them. Westward from the Government Court
the forum connects Raisina Hill with the high
ground of the southern ridge, so that the
whole Government center appears to be built
on spur of the ridge itself. This raised forum
is known as the Viceroy's Court, which is
reached from the north and south too by
roadways with easy gradients.
Viceroy's House, built at a cost of mill
lion pounds, is approached both from the
north and south along fine avenues, which
touch on the west the spacious viceregal es-
tate, with its lovely gardens, well-kept parks,
wherein are located the bungalows of the Vice
roy's numerous secretaries, the house sur
geon, the household controller, quarters for
the Viceroy's bodyguard and other stats.
Viceroy's House and the two blocks of the
secretariat have been planned as one group
of the capital facing eastward, silhouetted on
the west by the aforested southern ridge.

DELHTS LOST HERITAGE
is RESTORED WITH NEW ENCHANTMENT
by
HASSAN MOHIRUDDIN ABBARI

i HE new capital of India compared with
its prototypes might not be as beautifully
located amid lovely natural surroundings as
Canberra or Darul-Aman, the new capital OF
Afghanistan-or as luxuriously built as WASH
ington or as scientifically executed as Angora,
or as ambitiously designed as Nanking-the
proposed capital of the Nationalist China
but the romance of antiquity, which still
fingers around Raisina, is denied perhaps to
any of its competitors.
The imperial city of Delhi, the home of
Asia-Von Orlich calls it the Indian Rome"
with its forty-fve square miles of suburban
territory, teeming with relics of empires and
footprints of events dating back to several
centuries before the Christian era, is not one
city; rather conglomeries of numerous town.
ships, each phonixlike, giving place to its
successor in the inevitable cycle of rise and
fall.
Lord Curzon described Delhi as "the de-
serted cities of dreary and disconsolate
tombs" "In the above area of seven castles
and ffty-two gates" says Mr.. Finch, Eu-
ropean merchant who visited India in 1911,
thirteen capital cities have appeared and
disappeared, the sites of which, with but one
exception, are either marked by ruins or in
dicated by tradition. The eye can still trace
the proud forts, spacious Streets minareted
mosques and beautiful tombs.'

PROBABLY MORE BATTLES, sieges, massacres
and murders crowd the annals of this me-
tropolis than those of any other similar area
throughout the world. Its central location, the
facility of obtaining good building materials
from the rocky ridges with quartzite cores,
which abound in the vicinity, perhaps account
for the preeminent position Delhi has enjoyed
since prehistoric times.
at is my desire that the planning and de-
signing of the public buildings to be erected
will be considered with the greatest delibera-
ton and care so that the new creation may
be in every way worthy of this ancient and
beautiful city," said his Majesty King George
v, the Emperor of india on December IS,
|, 1911, when he laid the foundation-stone of
the new capitalize outcome of the official
transfer of the capital from Calcutta, the
second city in the British Empire-announced
by him, three days earlier. How far the crea
tors have been successful in their attempt is
the theme of this story.
"
THE FOCAL POINT of the new city is located
on Raisina Hill-a large mass of rock fifty
feet high-twenty feet of which was blasted
away and filled into the depressons to form
uniform thirty feet platform, with redstone

pierced by smaller arches which run through
at right angles to the main arch. Above the
great cornice is inscribed india" fanked
by 1914" and 1919" 1t is headed by fare
so that on occasions of commemoration a
column of smoke by day and of fame by night
rises. Simple of design, void of intricate orna-
mentations, dignihed in appearance, the monu-
ment is perhaps the most imposing edi6ce of
the new capital.
The central parkway is intended ultimately
to terminate at small artificial lake, the
waters of which would wash the base of the
northern end of the ancient IndrapraStha.
A second principal avenue of the city
crosses at right angles the Central Vista about
midway in its length. In the four angles
formed by this intersection have been built
large buildings to accommodate, among other
institutions, the Imperial Record Office and
the chronological and War Museums. The
Medical Research Institute and library are to
follow At the end of this second avenue to-
ward the north or the old city is situated the
business center of the new capital. This con-
ssts of circus, 1000 feet in diameter,
around which are arranged twelve blocks of
buildings, each three stories high. Of the
twelve roads which radiate from this center,
the northward will house the proposed rail-
way station-perhaps the biggest structure
of its kind in India This same avenue, south
ward of the Central VISTA sights on the Angli-
can Cathedral, around which are built the resi-
dences of the principal officers of the Gov
eminent.
A LITTLE BELOW, toward the east, at an angle
of sixty degrees with the Professional Way,
another road points toward the dome and
minarets of the historic Juma Mosque of old
Delhi-one of the worlds biggest places of
worship. These two roads gave the geomet-
rical key of the ingenious plan of the new
city, noble development of the germ of L En-
fant's plan of Washington and Wren's re-
jected design for the city of London. The
avenue radiating due north from the focal
point of the city is occupied by the houses of
the Indian and European superintendent,
clerks of the Secretariat, Medical College,
Women's Hospital, Roman Catholic Church
and banks.
Just opposite, due south, an important ave-
nue. leads to the Imperial Gymkhana Club,
with the race course beyond, large recreation
park being to the west. The eastern side Of
the city, dominated by the War Memorial,
is largely occupied by the stately residences
of ruling Understandable and nawabs-
and of prominent Indian gentlemen.
W
A PROLONGED battle of style" has been waged
over New Delhi, clearly showing ceaseless
effort to apply, with due regard for Indian SEN
timents the spirit of the great traditions OF
her architecture, to the solution of struc-
tural problems of course conditioned by In
dian climate and requirements. The inspira-
ton of these designs is manifestly western,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-08-31

but we find blended with them distinctive fea-
lures of Indian life and thought, not calcu-
lated to mar the universal principles of struc-
tural fitness and artistic unity.
The Government Court has length of
LOO feet from west to east The width be-
tween the two blocks of the Secretariat is 400
feet. The eastern end of the two blocks is
marked by deep loggias looking out over the
Central Vista. In the center of each block is
dome. In the case Of the north block this
marks an entrance hall; in the south block it
surmounts conference hall with suite of
reception rooms.
AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE of the design and one
which gives character to the entire building
is the provision of loggias and recessed gate
ways giving views to the fountained courts
situated below; these take the place of the
continuous verandas that are so familiar a
feature of Indian buildings. The loggias and
recesses, on thick internal walls, together
with window shutters-so widely used in
Southern Europe-and wide overhanging
slabs, successfully control the temperature
during the cooler season, for which the build
ings have been designed.
The Viceroy's Court is l 800 feet by 600
feet and is luxuriously erected with grass,
waterways, fountains and shade trees and
forms a dignifed approach to the Viceroy's
House The great portico of the viceregal resi-
dence is raised some twenty feet above the
level of the Viceroy's Court, and thirty-fve
feet above the surrounding country. The
house itself centers round the great Audience
Hall, domed structure, which dominates the
scheme of the buildings surrounding it.
Grouped round the Durbar Hall are the
state rooms and the great stairways from the
entrance courts on the north and south. Pro-
jecting from this central block are four wings,
which on the southwest contain the Viceroy's
private apartments; the southeast wing pro-
vides accommodation to the A. D. C.'s; guests
are lodged in the northwest wing, while the
northeast wing houses the Offices of the Vice.
roy's private and military secretaries. The
loveliest portions of the house are, of course,
the Moghul gardens, which loe to the west.
THE BUILDING which accommodates the Legis-
lative Chamber is circular in design and is
surrounded by coonnade. The plan is di-
vided into six sectors utilized respectively by
the Legislative Assembly (the lower house,,
the Council of State (the upper house, and
the Princes Chamber The three chambers are
built at equal angles round central dome
ninety feet in diameter. Three open courts
with flowers and fountains separate these
chambers A common library is situated in the
center.
Thus, with the creation of the new city
after continuous labor of seventeen years,
under the egis of Par Britannica, at a cost of
over fourteen million pounds, Delhi's lost
heritage as the imperial capital of the Great
Moghuls' has been restored to her.
