Delhi, the resilient phoenix: Destroyed and rebuilt seven times Delhi, the heart of India, is a city that has withstood the test of time in a way few places on Earth have. It’s a city with a history so rich and tumultuous that it reads like an epic novel, filled with heroes, conquerors, and legends. But perhaps one of the most remarkable chapters in Delhi’s story is the fact that it has been destroyed and rebuilt seven times. This remarkable resilience has shaped the city’s culture and character, making it a living testament to the indomitable spirit of its people.

Malcha Mahal: Unveiling Delhi’s enigmatic abode and the astonishing tale of imposters Welcome to the mystical realm of Malcha Mahal, a historic gem nestled in the heart of Delhi, India. With a rich tapestry of history, urban legends, and a recent astonishing revelation, this timeless monument continues to captivate the imagination of locals and visitors alike. Join us as we delve into the intriguing past, significance, and relevance of Malcha Mahal in today’s world while unraveling the enigma that surrounds this ancient dwelling. The tale of deception For over 40 years, a captivating story about the mysterious and reclusive royal family residing in Malcha Mahal persisted among foreign correspondents in New Delhi. The widowed Begum Wilayat, along with her children, Princess Sakina and Prince Ali Raza (also known as Cyrus), claimed to be the descendants of the Nawab of Oudh, Persian nobility, and the rulers of a kingdom in northern India until 1856. However, an astonishing revelation recently emerged, shattering the carefully crafted family legend. Investigative journalist Ellen Barry, in her article published in the New York Times, uncovered the truth behind the enigmatic family. The Begum Wilayat and her children were, in fact, imposters, not descendants of the royal house of Oudh.

Manjusha painting, also known as Angika art, is a traditional folk art form that originated in the state of Bihar, India. It holds a rich cultural significance and is characterised by its vibrant colours, bold lines, and unique narrative style. While Manjusha painting has a captivating history and has been appreciated for generations, it is currently facing challenges that threaten its existence as a flourishing art form. Manjusha painting has its roots in the ancient Mauryan period of Indian history, around the 3rd century BCE. The name “Manjusha” translates to “box” in Sanskrit, symbolising the tradition of using rectangular or square boxes to depict various stories and mythological tales. Initially, Manjusha paintings were created on canvases made from bamboo strips and colored with natural dyes. Over time, the use of cloth and paper as the base became prevalent.

The Panch Mahal Like many ancient sites, Fatehpur Sikri has its fair share of urban legends and myths. One of the most popular legends is the story of the Panch Mahal. The Panch Mahal is a five-story palace located inside the Fatehpur Sikri complex. According to the legend, the palace was used by the Mughal emperor Akbar to house his wives and concubines.

A magnificent and spacious bungalow in Delhi owned by Raja Jai Singh of Amber (Jaipur) who commanded great respect and honour in the court of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb now enjoys the status of a holy shrine called Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. The eighth Guru Sri Harkishan had stayed here for a few months as a guest of Raja Jai Singh. Since then it has become a place of pilgrimage for both Hindus and Sikhs. The building was built by Sikh General, Sardar Bhagel Singh in 1783, who supervised the construction of nine Sikh shrines in Delhi in the same year, during the reign of Mughal Emperor, Shah Alam II. 📷 Shot on opporeno6 by @cityofdjinns #banglasahibgurudwara #gurdwarabanglasahib #indiahistory #sikhism #sikhhistory #banglasahibhistory #banglasahib🙏 #gurdwara #sikh #waheguruji🙏 #shahalam #mughals #rajajaisingh #aurangzeb #loveforhistory #delhimessenger #delhiblog #delhihistory #delhiphotography #photography #opporeno6 @oppomobileindia
