THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM The Archaeological Museum a walk around The interesting Archaeological Museum next to Bada Darwaza is devoted to the archaeological finds at Purana Qila; and also the history of Delhi. PURANA The exhibits at the museum trace in chronological order the history of Delhi. Another interesting part of the museum is its QILA collection of photographs of work at the Purana Qila archaeological site. The Museum is housed in part of Purana Qila itself. The hall is part of the original fort and there is fine incised plaster, in the form of medallions, on the vaulted roof of the museum. Lal Darwaza 10. LAL DARWAZA On Mathura Road opposite Purana Qila is another structure that is often associated with Purana Qila: Lal Darwaza (`red gate’). It was built during the reign of Sher Shah Sur (the early 16th century) and is one of the few remains of Sher Garh outside of Purana Qila. It is approached via a short road flanked by thick walls made of rubble and marked by a series of recessed arches forming kiosk-like structures, which may have been shops. At the end of this short stretch is the gate, which stands between two curving bastions. The gate is dressed with red sandstone, with some buff sandstone and grey Delhi quartzite, and there are signs of decorative elements such as jharokhas and medallions which have since fallen off. Very minor traces of ornamentation do remain, for instance on the jharokha to the left is some fine blue glazed tile, along with carving. 9.

    SPATIAL DATA MODELING IN GIS FOR HISTORICAL RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OF SEVEN CITIES OF DELHI Madan Mohan Department of Geography, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University) New Delhi, INDIA [email protected], [email protected], Commission V, WG V/4 KEY WORDS: History, Human Settlement, Change, Structure, Cultural Heritage, GIS, Integration, Reconstruction ABSTRACT Delhi is one of the ancient historical and greatest cultural cities of the World. Delhi’s two monuments the Qutb Minar and Humayun’s Tomb have been declared the World Cultural Heritage sites. Delhi was built and rebuilt seven times on different sites through out the history within a triangular area of about 142.20 sq. kms. lying between the last ridge of the Aravalli Range and the River Yamuna. The remains of the seven cities of Delhi can still be seen across the landscape from the Tomar city of Lal-Kot to Siri, Tughluqabad, Jahanpanah and Firuzabad of the Sultans and then Purana-Qila and Shahjahanabad of the Mughals. Moreover, the New Delhi is historically the ‘eighth city’ built by the Britishers. The present Delhi is a complex agglomeration of built fabric which exists as evidence in the form of layers of various historic time periods. It is noteworthy to mention that the vertical and horizontal expansions have adversely been affected the historical areas as well as several cultural heritage sites particularly during the post- independence period in Delhi. Therefore, the widened role is not only to meet the challenges of development, but also to preserve and protect the different facets of the Delhi’s personality.

  • Structure As a Document
    Structural Analysis of Historic Construction – D’Ayala & Fodde (eds) © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-46872-5 Structure as a document Jinisha Jain Conservation Architect, Delhi, India ABSTRACT: Known as the ‘Old Fort’, Purana Qila, the first Mughal capital city, is situated on the eastern edge of Delhi, along the river Jumna. Humayun, the second Mughal emperor (1530–38 A.D.) began constructing a walled city and fortress on this site in 1533 A.D., and named it Din-Panah, or ‘Refuge of Religion’. He was temporarily deposed by Sher Shah Sur (1538–45 A.D.), who extended the Old Fort but the fort was finally completed by Humayun (1555–56 A.D.), the founder king. The comeback of Humayun and physical additions to the site which can visibly be discerned but not assigned to any one ruler with confirmation compound the problems of authorship and the historic sources in this respect fail to give any conclusive or corroborative evidence. The fort walls are over one mile long, and contain three gates, a triple storey octagonal structure called Sher Mandal and a mosque called Qila-I-Kunha Masjid meaning the ‘Mosque of the Old Fort’. The paper focuses on Qila-I-Kunha and uses documentation of this structure as a tool to unveil the mystery. 1 HISTORIC SITES: AN EXISTING 2 ON SITE OF PURANA QILA TESTIMONY Known as the ‘Old Fort’ of Delhi, Purana Qila, the Historic sites are not just places for aesthetic admira- first Mughal capital city, is situated on the eastern edge tion, for exercising nostalgic moments or for eliciting of Delhi, along the river Jumna.
