Archaeological sights in Delhi

  1. A

    Firoz Shah Kotla

    Firozabad (the fifth city of Delhi) was built by Firoz Shah in 1354. Its ruins can be found at Firoz Shah Kotla, off Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg. Visit on a Thursday afternoon when crowds come to pray, light candles and leave bowls of milk to appease Delhi’s djinns (invisible spirits or genies) that are reputed to inhabit the kotla. In the fortress/palace is a 13m-high sandstone Ashoka Pillar inscribed with Ashoka’s edicts (and a later inscription).
