Revisiting Delhi's Forgotten Monuments
Monuments like the Red Fort, Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb are on everyone’s must-visit list when travelling to Delhi. But the capital has so many other structures which are often left ignored by everyone from authorities to residents and tourists, even though they have an equally important place in the city’s history. Here are 11 such monuments which definitely deserve a place on your itinerary when you visit Delhi.
1. Shahi Mosque of Qudsia Begum
Mosque, Historical Landmark
Qudsia Begum was the mother of Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur, who succeeded the throne at a time when the empire was on a steady decline. The 18th-century mosque was part of a garden complex built for Qudsia Begum, but most of the structure has now fallen apart, mostly due to neglect. Mughal monuments like the Red Fort, which are much older than this one, still stand in good condition.
