Delhi CM Launches Four Heritage Tourism Circuits at Akshardham Temple
The leader of Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, opened four new tourist routes on Tuesday.
The routes were launched at a very beautiful temple called Akshardham.
They help visitors see temples, churches, mosques, gurdwaras, forts and old monuments all in one trip.
The routes have lovely names like The Soul of Delhi, The Heritage of Delhi, Delhi Sacred Harmony and Echoes of Delhi.
A famous spiritual teacher named Sadhguru came to the launch event.
People who make videos for the internet will also visit these routes and share what they see.
Their photos and videos will tell more people around the world about Delhi's special places.

Staying longer helps hotels, restaurants, shops, guides and other small businesses earn more money.
The Akshardham temple even holds a Guinness World Record as the world's largest comprehensive Hindu mandir.
