Event Description : Delhi Karavan presents "Khidki Se Dilli" Heritage walk.

"Ek Sheher Tha Jahanpanah Jisko Falak ne ujaad kar veeraan kar diya....!!!

Saket, which is now synonymous with glitzy malls,global brands, and a swankier lifestyle, was once dotted by beautiful medieval structures stretching from the Qutb to Chirag Delhi, comprising of the 'Fourth City-Jahanpanah" of Dilli.

Delhi Karavan on in its first outing of 2015 on 11th Jan takes you to the unknown alleys of the Khirki Village, where the Khirki Masjid, 'The Window Mosque' still stands tall amidst a crowd of urbanity like a breath of fresh air! The next stop would be Sheikh Yusuf Katal Tomb, still off the usual heritage circuit, this 16th century Lodhi era tomb is hidden away and even difficult to locate on google.We shall further move to the Satpula Dam, the seven arched waterways of the medieval period showing the excellent canal system that existed during the Tughlaq's Sultanate. Experience with us the aesthetic beauty of symmetry of these structures, the multitude of domes and the peace which surrounds the otherwise busy streets and traffic of the posh locales of south Delhi. Come join us as we reminisce of the stories of Jahanpanah and not just Jahanpanah, ....'hamari Dilli ke ishq ki beshumaar kahaniyaan' bhi toh hain "

If time and logistics permit, we shall also attempt to visit the nearby Dargah of Chiragh e Dehlvi.

Places Covered :

Khirki Masjid

Dargah of Roshan E Chirag Dehlvi*

Presentation will be done in Hindi/Urdu
