Don't worry, Delhi's AQI is going to be very good on December 1 when you step out of your house for a different Sunday morning experience. It will be a mix of physical exercise (we will u closer to 10000 steps), monument visit (you will see a fort, a few baolis, couple of tombs and pillars), story-telling (cities of delhi, sufi saints, shifting capitals & demonetization) and theatre performance. You will have all of this in 1 heritage walk and maybe make new friends (part history, part architecture and part Delhi buffs). You will have also contributed to a useful cause. Can't get more in 2.5 hrs!!

It was a lovely morning at Jahanpanah. Thank you so so much those who joined us today morning for our walk “ Dastaan-e-Jahanpanah”.

Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq is an enigma in Indian medieval history; he is a genius who was far ahead of his times, a self-obsessed power-hungry sultan accused of murdering his own father and brother for the throne of Delhi, a devout Muslim who forced his religion with all his force on his citizens, a spiritual seeker who sought enlightenment all his life, a scholar par excellence and a madman who changed his capital twice and inflicted woes and tortures on his subjects which would shock the brutality of barbarians. Will the real Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq stand up?

Well, he will.

On a curated walk conducted by a passionate Delhi, history, monuments, architecture, poetry, story, theater lover – Parthajeet, the story of Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq will be brought alive. Through facts, stories, visualisation and physical presence and touch of the remnants of the thousand-pillared-palace at Bijai Mandal and Behumpur mosque in one of the capitals of Delhi - Jahanpanah around the modern day Sarvapriya Vihar and Malviya Nagar, Parthajeet will take us to the time and lives of Tughlaq.
At the end, you will see (and be a part of) three short theatre improvisations by Parthajeet as Muhammad-bin-Tughalaq.
