Our First Heritage Visit


On the 8th October,our heritage group visited the Gadia Lohar community,Hauz-i-Shazmi,Jharna,Gandhak ki baoli and Jahaz Mahal.Though I was not there for the visit,I had visited Jahaz Mahal before and these are my views of the Mahal.
    The Mahal had recently been painted and restored in a very beautiful manner.The tale was of the time of the Sultanate when Qutubuddin Aibak dreamed that Allah's horse landed on that place and he ordered that the Mahal be built alongwith a watertank for the Mehrauli city.Still the restoration did not give that old charm of this historic building and for sure the government was not giving this monument and it's surroundings enough importance.
