Winter Magic in Delhi

These weeks of winter weather turns our city’s many heritage & eccentric flavours even more attractive!

MEHRAULI : MUSE OF DILLI HERITAGE WALK!

Do you wish to walk on a trail through Delhi’s oldest extant village and bazars? Or hear tales of the swirling mists of time, where mythology and historical facts coalesce…as the ballads sing tales of the glorious Rajput Prthviraj Chouhan? Do you know which Sultan was so wise & just that he punished even his son for committing a crime? Or did you know that the largest man-made water reservoir of the Eastern worlds was in Mehrauli? Did you know the last architectural flicker of the Mughals stands silently, forlorn & forgotten in Mehrauli?

From a millennia when the ground shook to the resounding beat of thousands of horses being led into battle by medieval-era Rajput chieftain Prithviraj Chouhan, to being the capital city of the significant Mamluk (Slave) Dynasty of India who built the Qutub Minar in Mehrauli, through the Mughals to the British revenge of 1857 and till the painful upheavals of partition in 1947…..Mehrauli has seen it all !!!

Mehrauli, as recorded in various sources on Delhi’s history, is surely the oldest, continuously inhabited area of our glorious city and has been the mute witness of the rise and fall of all dynasties and empires in Delhi for nearly a 1000 years.

DelhiByFoot will take you on a tryst with ancient royalty, a melting-pot of cultures, painful destruction & the peaceful calm of spiritual masters of yore….

Feel a ‘time-machine’ like experience as you walk through multiple layers of history that co-exist peacefully in this jumbled-up mass of narrow streets, bazaars & monuments. Add a zing to your step as you pick up raw tobacco for a Hubble-Bubble (Hookah/Sheesha) or buy a newly sharpened hunter’s knife from one of the shops in the colourful Mehrauli bazaars. Or take a quick dip into the pool of Sufi mystical spiritual teachings of “Humanity” giving some clues to maybe what’s the secret of Mehrauli’s legendary endurance and how it sustained itself without any of the numerous empires ever abandoning it!

The story-telling sessions will be done in English.

DATE & TIME: 9 AM, Sunday,12th Jan 2020
MEETING POINT: Opp. Mehrauli DTC Bus Terminal. Once you reach please call us @ 9650515135
CHARGES: Rs.500/person

  11. Hi Guys, just came across your site… and realised that i’ve missed the walk for the 21st… can you let me know of future walks please… i just love history…

    1. Hi Ayushi,
      Thanks for writing in with your concerns. We do not charge money for providing any travel mode to any participant.
      First let me explain what happens in a typical walk event we organise. People meet at a given point and then guided by us they embark on a short walking tour experience of 2-3 hours which covers a small specific theme/monument/cultural aspect of our city of Delhi. During this walk we share the historical facts of the monuments, then we recount interesting anecdotes about the people, both present and past and share our learnings about the cultural aspects of the city. Contsantly our team update ourselves with interesting trivia, stories and to do all this regularly, safely while maintaining a certain level of quantity is the reason why the money charged is for. I now hope it is clear to you and we will wish to see you, very soon on our walks…
      Thanks
