Delhi, as often believed, is a city of many citadels. These citadels faced destruction time and again, but each rose like a phoenix, glorious in its resurrections. One of the many surviving relics of that legacy is the citadel of Feroz Shah Kotla, built in the 14th century by the last Tughluq emperor as part of his city, Firozabad. Apart from being a stunning monument in itself, Feroz Shah Kotla embodies elements that continue to intrigue.
The first element is the elegant Ashokan Pillar that was brought from Topra under the wish of the emperor himself, thus giving modern-day viewers a glimpse of the ancient within the medieval. The other, equally appealing element is the worship of djinns every Thursday by hordes of people who believe in the magic of the supernatural.
This walk intends to give its participants a chance to experience the magic of Feroz Shah Kotla, and understand why Delhi has famously been called The City of Djinns. The walk will cover important sites within the monument, including the Ashokan Pillar, and finally, the participants will be taken through sites where the djinns are worshipped.
This is a custom walk for the Volunteers (Community Youth Leader) of Magic Bus. This walk is not open to others.
