Chronicles of Dinpanah & Shergarh | Heritage Walk in Purana Quila

About the event:

We will be covering Purana Quila on Saturday, the 3rd of December evening. Purana Quila is one of the oldest forts in Delhi. It is often referred to as Shergarh or Sher Fort after the Sher Shah Suri began its construction. It is said to be inhabited for the past 2,500 years, and excavations at the site show evidence of materials belonging to the pre-Mauryan era. The fort is said to be built at the site of Indraprastha, which according to the Mahabharata, was the capital of the kingdom of the Pandavas. This 1.5 km long site of construction is known to have three gateways – Bada Darwaza, Humayun Darwaza, and the Talaqqi Darwaza. All of the gates are double-story and comprise huge semi-circular bastions flanking either of their sides. We will cover each monument & dynasty in detail.
