Glimpses | Heritage Walk at Tughluqabad - the cursed city! | Delhi Karavan

Glimpses from our recent Heritage Walk at Tughluqabad : The Cursed City ============================================ Full Tour video can be found here:    • Tughlaqabad Fort - Ruins frozen in time   ========================================= History is full of those who through sheer grit and determination rose from humble beginnings to become Kings and Sultans. One such story is that of Ghazi Malik, Sultan Alauddin Khilji's commander who ushered in a new dynastic era in the history of Delhi by establishing the Tughluq rule. The massively fortified fourth city of Delhi is unique due to it's impregnable walls. But how did a Sultan's obsession become a curse so powerful to befall this city that even today it echoes in it's abandoned ramparts. Join the Karavan as Asif Khan Dehlvi traces stories of this cursed city, stories of a Sufi and a Sultan. About Tughluqabad: The fort was built by Sultan Ghiyasuddin Tughluq (1321-1325 AD) in 1321 AD. It is sprawled across an area covering 6 square kilometers. Event: We will be visiting the fort, discussing its varied features, and the tomb of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Tughluq, that lies adjacent to the fort. BEST WAY TO REACH: If coming from Gurgaon, take a right turn onto MB Rd at Qutub Minar and after crossing the intersection of Batra Hospital, drive on for another 2 Kms. and on your left, you will see the massive walls of the Fort. Tughlaqabad Fort Complex on MB Rd has adequate parking space. Those coming by the Metro from Gurgaon, get down at Saket and take auto or bus to reach the meeting point on MB Road itself. Nearest Metro Stn is 'Govindpuri', on Violet Line (Badarpur Track) and a 5 Km. Auto-rick ride will bring you to the fort gates. DTC buses also ply on Mehrauli-Badarpur Road with regular frequency. PLEASE NOTE 1- The terrain sometimes involves climbing atop few walls and sometimes walking sedately on rolling grass, so preferably wear a pair of good walking shoes. Not that we will stop any flip-flop wearers from joining us! 2- A bottle of drinking water.
