  • Humayun's Tomb
    HUMAYUN’S TOMB and its surroundings Humayuns tomb booklet.indd 1 27/09/12 3:39 PM According to traditional belief, the tomb of a saint confers sanctity on the surrounding areas, and therefore many have opted to be buried in the vicinity of a saint’s tomb. The shrines or dargahs of men like Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki (in Mehrauli) and Nasiruddin Mahmud `Roshan Chiragh-e-Dehli’ (in Chiragh Dilli) are surrounded by dozens of graves, of both illustrious and obscure persons. The dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya is a case in point. Around it, within a radius of about a kilometre, are literally hundreds of graves – including those of some of Delhi’s most famous residents. The core of the area is the enclosure of the dargah itself, the burial place of the saint who died in 1325 but has been the object of continuous veneration . The shrine is the heart of a bustling centre of pilgrimage. Most pilgrims visit just the venerated structures in the complex – the tomb of Nizamuddin Auliya and that of his famous disciple Amir Khusro, who is buried nearby, the baoli or step-well, and the large 13th-century mosque which lies to the west of the shrine. There are within the shrine compound itself the tombs and graves of several other famous personalities, which deserve a visit. In the immediate vicinity of the shrine enclosure is the basti. This is a residential complex as old as the shrine itself, housing those associated with the shrine. The houses themselves, being of less solid materials than the tombs or mosques, have been constantly re-built and most are therefore quite modern.

  • Conservation & Heritage Management
    Chapter – 7 : Conservation & Heritage Management IL&FS ECOSMART Chapter – 7 Conservation & Heritage Management CHAPTER - 7 CONSERVATION & HERITAGE MANAGEMENT 7.1 INTRODUCTION Heritage Resource Conservation and Management imperatives for Delhi The distinctive historical pattern of development of Delhi, with sixteen identified capital cities1 located in different parts of the triangular area between the Aravalli ridge and the Yamuna river, has resulted in the distribution of a large number of highly significant heritage resources, mainly dating from the 13th century onwards, as an integral component within the contemporary city environment. (Map-1) In addition, as many of these heritage resources (Ashokan rock edict, two World Heritage Sites, most ASI protected monuments) are closely associated with the ridge, existing water systems, forests and open space networks, they exemplify the traditional link between natural and cultural resources which needs to be enhanced and strengthened in order to improve Delhi’s environment. (Map -2) 7.1.1 Heritage Typologies – Location and Significance These heritage resources continue to be of great significance and relevance to any sustainable development planning vision for Delhi, encompassing a vast range of heritage typologies2, including: 1. Archaeological sites, 2. Fortifications, citadels, different types of palace buildings and administrative complexes, 3. Religious structures and complexes, including Dargah complexes 4. Memorials, funerary structures, tombs 5. Historic gardens, 6. Traditional networks associated with systems of water harvesting and management 1 Indraprastha ( c. 1st millennium BCE), Dilli, Surajpal’s Surajkund, Anangpal’s Lal Kot, Prithviraj Chauhan’s Qila Rai Pithora, Kaiquabad’s Khilokhri, Alauddin Khilji’s Siri, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq’s Tughlaqabad, Muhammad Bin Tughlaq’s Jahanpanah, Firoz Shah Tughlaq’s Firozabad, Khizr Khan’s Khizrabad, Mubarak Shah’s Mubarakabad, Humayun’s Dinpanah, Sher Shah Suri’s Dilli Sher Shahi, Shah Jehan’s Shahjehanabad, and Lutyen’s New Delhi.

  • Golden Triangle (7N / 8D)
    GOLDEN TRIANGLE (7N / 8D) DAY 01: ARRIVE DELHI Arrive at Delhi International airport. Flight details: To be advised Arrival time in Delhi To be advised Following your custom, immigration and baggage collection, a Cox & Kings representative will be waiting for you with a hand held signage bearing your name as you exit the arrivals terminal building. From here, you will be transferred to the hotel. On arrival, check-in at the hotel. (Note- normal check-in time at the hotel is 2:00 pm). Delhi stands as the capital of Modern India. Here you can see the mingling of the Old and New India, the ancient and the modern. Its strategic location was one of the prime reasons why successive dynasties chose it as their seat of power. It is not surprising then, that what constitutes Delhi today is a conglomerate of seven cities. Delhi has seen the rise and fall of many emperors, which have left behind a plethora of monuments that commemorate the grandeur and glory of bygone ages. Very few cities in the world can express such a profusion of architectural styles. Overnight in Delhi. Meals: None DAY 02: IN DELHI Following breakfast, proceed for sightseeing of Old Delhi exploring the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk. Shah Jahan founded the city of Shahjahanabad, now referred to as Old Delhi, in 1648. The famous Red Fort in the heart of Old Delhi was once the most opulent fort of the Mughal Empire and it boasts the Diwan-i-Am, Hall of Public Audience, and the Diwan-i-Khas, Hall of Private Audience.

What sets it apart is the multitude of historic ruins that are a part of the city's landscape. Delhi holds an embarrassment of riches in the form of countless little-known, seldom-visited, largely unheard-of tombs, nameless pavilions, mosques, madarsas, pleasure gardens, baolis, cemeteries, and much else. Neophyte New Delhi has been quick to discard most of them on the rubbish heap of history, choosing to validate a bare minimum with a name, an identity and a place of visibility.Where it was possible to make the law look the other way, many of these monuments were razed to the ground to make way for development. In this book, Rakshanda Jalil highlights these forgotten monuments, whose histories are peppered with anecdotes, making for a delightful read for history-lovers, visitors to Delhi, and indeed, residents of the city as well.

  • Sunder Nursery: Conservation and Landscape
    Sunder Nursery: Conservation and Landscape Restoring the historic lime plaster in the tomb of Mirza Muzaffar Hussain, Batashewala complex, Delhi, India. " DELHI SUNDER NURSERY: CONSERVATION AND LANDSCAPE #$( Ratish Nanda and Mohammad Shaheer Sunder Nursery Conservation Ratish Nanda Sunder Nursery, earlier known as Azim Bagh or the “great gar- den”, was established in the twentieth century to experiment and propagate plants for New Delhi during British colonial times. Within Sunder Nursery and its adjoining Batashewala complex stand seven Mughal-era garden-tombs. # The Landscape Master Plan now being implemented at Sun- der Nursery aims to link the conservation effort on the standing monuments to create a major landscape space of truly urban scale, deriving inspiration from the traditional Indian concept of congruency between nature, garden and utility, coupled with environmental conservation. In addition to the formal landscape in the setting of the Mughal-era monuments, a biodiversity park is being created for +lora that occupies Delhi’s ridge, river edge, plains and other specialized zones such as desert and marshy areas. Sunderwala Burj and Sunderwala Mahal Two early Mughal-era tombs stand north of Isa Khan’s tomb in the adjoining Sunder Nursery. Archival records reveal that these were, until the early twentieth century, grouped within a single % enclosure entered through a lofty gateway on the south. A cen- tury later, no evidence of the enclosure walls nor of the gateway have survived. The larger tomb, known as Sunderwala Mahal, has a central chamber enclosed with eight rooms forming a circumambula- tory passage. The structure had largely collapsed and the west- ern facade was reconstructed in 3113–1>, but to inappropriate design, with arches built instead of half-domed chambers.
