Qila Qadam Sharif in Paharganj, Delhi

It was called Qila Qadam Sharif with a fortified wall, bastions & grand gateways. Now just another neglected and rundown basti

Firoz Shah Tughlaq ‘s memorial (grave) for his son Fath Khan. So called because of an imprint of the Prophet ‘s foot buried with him as per his request.

The descriptions given of it in Dargah Quli Khan ‘s Muraqqa e Dehli show you a vibrant bustling place where kings, Queens and prince and princesses come to ask for boons and joined commoners who came to ask for theirs.

The Basant celebrations started from this Dargah.

Alas it’s all a far off dream now.
