Delhi

Delhi serves as Indiana Jones's initial destination from Mayapore, a sprawling Indian capital city with airports and crowds that promise a swift flight west to escape the village's poverty and curse. Indy identifies it as the direct route until the shaman redirects the group to Pankot Palace. Willie Scott insists on heading there instead, seeking its comfort and safety over the rural hardships and palace uncertainties. Concrete streets and urban bustle contrast sharply with the villagers' despair.
