Delhi Tourism maps 21 sites into four spiritual, heritage circuits
Delhi Tourism is a group in India that helps people visit Delhi, the country's capital city.
They made a plan to show travellers four special trips around the city.
The trips visit 21 important places, such as temples, churches, gurudwaras, old buildings and parks.
The trips have names like 'The Soul of Delhi' and 'Echoes of Delhi'.
The leader of Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, shared the news about the trips on 11 August at a famous temple called Swaminarayan Akshardham.
Delhi Tourism invited reporters and social media stars to visit the places and learn about their history and culture.
The guests will make videos, photos and stories about the places they saw.
The Delhi government hopes this will help more people visit and stay longer in the city.
Many visitors just pass through Delhi, but the city wants to be a place to explore, not just a stop on the way.
The trips are meant for visitors from India and from other countries too.
Delhi Tourism has curated four spiritual and heritage tourism circuits covering 21 destinations across the national capital.
The circuits were announced by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta at the Spiritual & Heritage Tourism Conclave 2026 on 11 August at Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple.
The four routes are The Soul of Delhi, Heritage of Delhi, Delhi's Sacred Harmony and Echoes of Delhi, the longest, grouping 21 sites that include the Lotus Temple, Jantar Mantar, Purana Qila and Mehrauli Archaeological Park.
A familiarisation tour for media representatives and social media influencers showcased the sites' historical, religious, cultural and architectural features.
The initiative aims to encourage visitors to explore beyond established attractions and position Delhi as a destination rather than a transit point.
