Delhi
Two cities at once: Mughal lanes off Chandni Chowk where you walk single file, and the wide green avenues the British laid out to the south. The metro connects them and costs almost nothing.

When to go
The best time to visit India
October to March is the standard answer and it hides a real problem. The monsoon by region, the Delhi air months, and a month table for many climates.
