A high-angle view captures heavy rush hour traffic moving slowly along a major arterial road in New Delhi. Multiple lanes are filled with dense streams of cars, auto-rickshaws, city buses, delivery vehicles, and large numbers of motorcycles navigating bumper-to-bumper conditions. Overhead, an elevated section of the Delhi Metro runs parallel to the roadway, supported by massive concrete pillars. Many of the metro pillars feature vertical gardens, adding greenery to the urban landscape below. The footage highlights the scale of daily transportation movement within India's capital city and the coexistence of road and rail infrastructure. The bird’s-eye perspective reveals the intensity of urban mobility across one of Delhi’s busiest transport corridors.
