Purana Quila (Old Fort), Delhi |
|
|
|
The
location of this wonderful yet old fort, commonly referred
to as the Purana Quila is at the ancient site of
Indraprastha. Archeological excavation of the site have
thrown enough proof of the fact that civilization existed
in the location even at 1000 BC. Potteries that have been
found dates back to the days of Mahabharata and Purana
Quila still evokes the aura of mystery. The fort was built
by Humayun and it acted as the citadel of the city of
Dinapanah. Visit this beautiful fort by making hotel
reservation in Delhi.
For a brief period of
few years, however, the fort fell into the hands of Sher
Shah Suri whose all conquering army overwhelmed and swept
away the Mughal resistance. Sher Shah, however, left his
impression on the Purana Quila. He built quite a few
magnificent buildings inside the fort. Quila Kuhna Masjid
is one remarkable building built in Purana Quila under the
patronizing eyes of Sher Shah.
The beauty of the
mosque lies in its architectural grandeur. White marble
and bright red sandstone make for the center portion of
the mosque. There is one more building inside the fort
that is of historical importance. It is and octagonal
building called Sher Mandal built by Sher Shah. After the
building was recaptured by Humayun, the Mughal emperor
converted it into his library. It was in the Sher Mandal
where later Humayun slipped from a ladder and fell to his
death. The emperor was buried not far away from the place
where he died. One of the remarkable work of architecture
in Delhi, The Humayun Tomb lies just outside the gates
Purana Quila.
This old but wonderful
fort has been a witness to some of the greatest events in
the history of India. Its battle scared walls speaks of
the agony of defeat and joy of victory. Purana Quila is at
the same time imposing and inspiring. |
