Can You See the Milky Way from Delhi?
From Delhi tonight the galactic core only reaches about 9° — low over the south-western horizon. You may glimpse it from a dark site with a clear southern view, but it's not at its best.

Milky Way season & the Moon for Delhi
A bright Moon (81% lit) will wash out faint stars and the Milky Way tonight.
The Milky Way is faint and easily lost to light pollution and moonlight. Even when the core is high, you need a genuinely dark sky — well away from city lights — and ideally a night near the new Moon to see it well from Delhi.
