25/07/2015

Join us this Sunday@ Lodi Garden
26 July, 7.30 am

A heritage walk in the beautifully landscaped and well laid garden in the heart of the city. The main attractions are the monuments belonging to the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties of medieval Delhi. The garden is a creation of the British who cleared the village which stood here & converted the area into a public park where the monuments stood out as objects of beauty. The walk includes royal tombs like that of Mohd Shah Sayyid & Sikandar Lodi, the very impressive Bada Gumbad & Shish Gumbad & some smaller remains like Athpula (a bridge) & a standalone turret & a couple of Mughal buildings in a garden.

Homebound with a bad cold this weekend, I am devouring my kindle. This morning, I clicked on City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi, by William Dalrymple, a book I’ve been meaning to read since moving here. The first line hooked me: “It was in the citadel of Feroz Shah Kotla that I met my first Sufi.”
