A blog on Delhi: Art, architecture, anthropology
This blog chronicles the lore and the everyday of Delhi, tripping on its language, tales and spaces, from small talks of the karkhanas and painstakingly meticulous observations of Bashiruddin Ahmad to the bustling weekly bazaars and congested alleys of the city. Chiragh-e-Dilli, or the Lamp of Delhi, was a title given to the 14th-century Sufi poet Nasiruddin Dehlavi, from which a neighbourhood in Delhi derives its name as does this blog.
