South Delhi is an administrative district of the National Capital Territory of Delhi in India with its headquarters in Saket. Administratively, the district is divided into three subdivisions, Saket, Hauz Khas, and Mehrauli. It is bounded by the Yamuna River to the east, the districts of New Delhi to the north, Faridabad District of Haryana state to the southeast, Gurgaon District of Haryana to the southwest, and South West Delhi to the west. South Delhi has a population of 2,731,929 (2011 census), and an area of 250 square kilometres (97 sq mi), with a population density of 9,034 persons per km2 (23,397 persons per mi2). The South Delhi neighborhood of Hauz Khas is witnessing the growth of trendy shops and lodgings. It is now becoming the center for domestic and international tourists and backpackers. The area also is home to historical monuments and has easy access to the Delhi Metro, making it a preferred location for many visitors to India and domestic middle-class visitors from other Indian states. The area attracts young tourists with numerous hip hostels and cafes.The division shown on the map bears only administrative significance, as to the common citizen, broadly speaking Delhi is vaguely ring-like, having five regions, namely North, West, South, East and Central. The usage of the term South Delhi in day-to-day life expands from Delhi's IGI Airport in the New Delhi district to the river Yamuna in the South East, a region protruding into administrative South West Delhi district.

Saidul Ajaib

Said-ul-Ajaib is a census town in South district in the Indian state of Delhi. Today it is most known for the Garden of Five Senses park developed by Delhi Tourism. A large number of PGs have sprung up due to its proximity to Saket Metro Station and Saket. It is situated on Mehrauli Badarpur Road and Ignou Main Road passes through it. Paryavaran Complex, Freedom Fighter Enclave and Sainik Farms are the major society lies in this area. A favourite noble of Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the chief of chamberlains and a follower of the Sufi tradition — these are among the few things known about the man after whom Saidulajab is named. According to historians, the khanqah (a structure meant for Sufi gatherings) of 14th Century noble Sayyid-ul-Hujjab Maruf existed in the area where the village now stands. Over the centuries, the word Hujjab was corrupted, first becoming ajaib and then ajab. Archaeologist Maulvi Zafar Hasan, Maruf is described as a “favourite noble of Firoz Shah (Tughlaq) enjoying the rank and title of Malik Sayyidul Hujjab.” “Both he and his father, Khuaja Wahid Quraishi, were disciples of Shaikh Nizamuddin, and Firoz Shah conferred great favours upon him, and held such a high opinion of his sagacity that he always consulted him in the affairs of the country. He enjoyed royal favours and confidence until his death,” he wrote. An urban village which has Qutub Minar on one side and Saket on the other, Saidulajaib is now known for The Garden of Five Senses and Champa Gali, with its design studios, chic cafes and handicraft stores.
