Event Description : Delhi by Foot presents "Mughals in Delhi - Rise and Fall of a Dynasty" Heritage Walk.
Listen to stories of the Rise of the Mughals as we retell the saga of a bygone era, when with humble beginnings, the Mughal Badshahs, Babur, Humayun and Akbar laid the foundations of this longest ever reign of a single dynasty in history of India, for a period of  over 300yrs…

We will do a twin-location walk exploring the 6th city of Delhi, a fort which played a pivotal role in the rise of Mughal power in Hindoostan and then visit the first grand Mughal Mausoleum of India…

Having probably seen habitation for almost 3000years now, the Old Fort near Pragati Maidan has many an interesting tale to share. Go back in time to relive the life & times of Delhi over 500 yrs ago when battles were fought for this city between the mighty armies of the Mughal Humayun & Afghan Sher Shah Suri….You continue to listen to stories of the humble beginnings of the great Mughal Dynasty while you appreciate the superb architecture of the first grand Mughal Tomb in India, the Humayun’s Tomb where we reach after a short hop across from Old Fort….

The walk presentation will be done in Hindi and English
