This article is basically for the Delhites or for many of those who might be planning to go to Delhi this summer. All the visitors must be planning to go to the famous historical monuments and sights of the city. But visiting a place not only means to see it's top destinations and hot spots instead according to me it is a lot more about knowing the city or the country and it's localites , their culture, tradition to it's core.

So,this time when you pack your bags alongwith visiting the hot spots ,try out if not all then few of these unique things to get a true sense of satisfaction and the true essence of Delhi.

VISIT DELHI FOLK ARTISTS
There's a slum called Kathputli Colony underneath the Shadipur Depot bridge in west Delhi. It houses approximately 800 artists, many of whom have represented India at shows abroad. To name a few, there are artists in the colony like Magicians, acrobats, mime artists, puppeteers, jugglers, folk singers, and traditional dancers.This fascinating three hour Art of Hope Tour is a very authentic tour that will provide you with great insight into a special Delhi community.
