This walk begins at Iqbal Maidan, evoking the memory of Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the poet-philosopher behind Sare Jahan Se Achcha and his intellectual sojourn in Bhopal. From here, the trail moves to Moti Masjid, where the story of Nawab Sikandar Begum unfolds: the first Muslim ruler to perform Hajj, a visionary who carried back the spirit of Delhi and dreamt of creating Bhopal’s own replica of Jama Masjid.As the journey continues, the striking Shaukat Mahal reveals Bhopal’s unexpected Indo-French architectural connection, blending Mughal grace with European styles. The narrative then takes a spiritual turn at the Tomb of Mastan Ali Shah, where the tale of how Bhopal survived the Maratha siege with the intervention of a saint is revisited. The walk culminates at Sadar Manzil and the Ambedkar Library, spaces that bridge Bhopal’s regal past with its intellectual and civic spirit.
