Mir Taqi Mir famously said about Dilli/ Shahjahanabad: ‘Dilli jo ek shehar tha alam me Intikhab/ Hum rehne wale hain usi ujade dayar ke (Translation: Delhi, the city that once was unique in the universe,/ We are inhabitants of that ruined abode).

When the capital was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi by the British the tag of 'Old Delhi/ Purani Dilli' came to refer to Shahjahanabad. Delhi perhaps has an exceptional distinction where we find multiple layers of history, culture & stories that defined it's charm once.

In its present form of chaos & neglect, the mysteries of its past are not easy for everyone to accept and the complex layers of history are not for everyone to unfold and understand.

Key Takeaways :

Through this StoryWalk, we shall unravel the many stories around the built spaces of Chandni Chowk, Chawri & Kinari Bazaars, its Havelis, people & their professions, the intermingling of diverse cultures & languages from which emerged it's own intrinsic 'tehzeeb' & 'zubaan'.
No, we will not bombard you with a heavy dose of history, rather we will understand the people and their lives and how architecture was suited to nature and community.
Along the way, we will interpret and sketch our own versions of the places. So get your sketchbooks, notepads - whatever way you wish to be creative (writing or art).
Loads of fun and learning.

Day & Date: Sunday, June 9th.

Time: 4 PM to 7 PM.

Venue: Digamber Jain Lal Mandir, Chandni Chowk. The walk shall end at Jama Masjid.

Ticket Details: INR 500 per person

This doesn't include the food cost. Participants pay for what they eat.
