About the event
Join us on a Sunday morning as we explore a fascinating, often overlooked chapter of the capital’s history, the story of how Delhi evolved from a Mughal city into a colonial centre, and how its cultural landscape continues to grow and thrive.
As we walk through its historic streets, we’ll uncover stories of empire, urban transformation, colonial life, and the people who shaped this part of the city.
Our journey in the end takes a delightful turn as we step into the world of Bengali Delhi, ending at a historic Durga Puja pandal where we experience the traditions, community spirit, and festive atmosphere that bring this cultural world to life.
