This Dude Placed Old Photos Of Delhi's Monuments Over How They Look Today

    "In a city as old as Delhi, we’re too used to history literally lying in ruins and crumbling around us."

    This is 24-year-old Delhi-based photographer Yuvraj Khanna.

    Four months back, he started a project on Instagram where he placed old photos of popular Delhi monuments against the live version and took his own photos.

    "This project took around four months from start to finish. It started with sifting through hundreds of old photos of Delhi online from which I shortlisted around fifty photos that I got printed," Khanna told BuzzFeed.

    "Since culture and history is so deeply engrained in Delhi, travelling through time in this city is a feeling made real whether it’s through a street name that has an old lore attached to it or through physical manifestations of the city’s architecture that we all love so much," he added.

    "I’ve chosen landmarks that are relevant in modern day Delhi and for that reason, they are reasonably well maintained but, in a city as old as Delhi, we’re too used to history literally lying in ruins and crumbling around us."
