Secrets of Shahjahanabad: Old Delhi Beyond the Touristy Route

"पुरानी दिल्ली के छिपे रास्तों में कई राज़ दबे हैं

इसकी गलियां तंग सही दिल बहुत बड़े हैं !"

India is a melting pot of different cultures is something we have always heard. It's a place of many religions traditions and their festivities which flourish in the age-old alleys of a part of our city which seems frozen in time and which we lovingly call Purani Dilli!!

And its life culture and true essence reside in the narrow chaotic lanes that visitors & tourists seldom wander into!

Off-the-map alleys resonating with the fascinating tales of “tawaifs”[courtesans] dancing women who built beautiful mosques and the poetry of great shayars like Meer and Ghalib leaving behind odes to its beauty....with shrines older than the Mughal city's age itself and where one can spend a few minutes in memory of Delhi’s first woman ruler...where the first Englishmen lived like Nawabs and which witnessed the downfall of the mighty Mughals!

Join us this Sunday for a distinct glimpse of Purani Dilli beyond the well-documented Jama Masjid-Chandni Chowk circuit let’s travel deeper into its heart...

There is a story at every step of this 360 yr old city so immerse yourself in this experience led by DBFs history expert Maryam Siddiqui.
