जामुनवालों की सैर / The Blackberry Walk

Walking the monsoon fruit of Delhi
The Monsoon Festival 8 Curtain-raiser

Jamun, aka blackberry is entreched in the heart of Delhi, an indigenous species the British cleverly planted prominently in New Delhi at the beginning of the 20th century.

Jamunwaalon ki Sair, the walk of the blackberry starts at Ashoka Road, lined with Jamun trees; traverses the India gate Jamuni hexagon to bring you to Rajpath, the royal avenue, which is lined with Rai Jamuns, yet another variety of the seasonal fruit which emerges monsoonally in Delhi in June-July.

We will read Jamun trees, enjoy the medicinal fruit, chat with the fruit sellers, have a Jamuni picnic and devour cuisine inspired by it. Get ready for purple Jamuni dreams…
