'''Vandemataram Marg''' (alternate spelling Vande Mataram Marg) is an arterial road in [[New Delhi]], [[India]]. It runs through the central section of the [[Delhi Ridge]] and connects [[Karol Bagh]] to [[Dhaula Kuan]]. It was earlier called Upper Ridge Road, frequently shortened to Ridge Road, and is still often referred to by this name. For most areas of North Delhi, the shortest route to [[Indira Gandhi International Airport|Delhi airport]] lies through the entire length of Vandemataram Marg. It stretches in a south-westerly direction from a roundabout at its northern (north-eastern) end, where it meets with [[Pusa Road]] (Sadhu Vaswani Marg), Arya Samaj Road, Faiz Road and Link Road, to Dhaula Kuan crossing at its southern (south-western) end. The Airport Express line of the [[Delhi Metro]] runs overhead along a 2km stretch of the road. Running through a forested area, Vandemataram Marg has been called "the greenest road of Delhi".<ref name="wikimapia">{{cite web|title=Ridge Road/Vande Mataram Marg|url=http://wikimapia.org/street/920774/Ridge-Road-Vande-Mataram-Marg|website=wikimapia.org|accessdate=19 February 2018}}</ref><br />
