Map of Delhi..click on original size to be able to read street and site names

I am having problems with Google and its Graphical User Interface.  I just spent 30 minutes describing something about Delhi which is now gone forever....Here I go again...

So, as I was saying, before all thought processes were wiped away by some disconnect between Windows and Google +, this is a map of Delhi, from the front piece of William Dalrymple's award winning volume, City of Djinns.  He spent a year and more in Delhi, researching the Mughal empire, the contemporary culture, the history predating the Mughals, etc., and, I think, his wife drew this map, showing many of the sites of interest he describes in the book.  I will do as much as possible to see the sites on the map and well-described in the book.  Watch this space for photographs.  I will try for lesser visited sites...Shalimar gardens, Fraser's house, Roshanara Gardens, etc, etc.
