Fine reading choices. I’d also add Zafar and the Raj by Amar Farooqui and Unruly Monuments by Aditi Chandra. Farooqui’s Zafar and the Raj is one of the finest books I’ve read insightful, deeply researched, and immensely rewarding.

My Delhi book list.

Most books on this are about Delhi / exploring Delhi history. Would love to add more titles, academic, non-academic, literature etc.

Legend has it that brass mohars passed off as gold to settle a dispute between the Marathas & Maharaja of Amber were later melted down to create 3 monumental Peetal Gates. One of these gates, once at Rambagh Palace, now welcomes guests to @sawaimanmahal.

If food is a reason to travel, Rajrasa is a reason to visit Jaipur. Had one of the most memorable meals of my life there last week. Every single item was outstanding. 11/10.

In 1924, Earl & Countess of Reading hosted a dinner, followed by dancing & a treasure hunt at Viceregal lodge, Shimla. Here is a glimpse of the music that animated the party. Listen to one of the pieces here to imagine how the night would have sounded. https://t.co/611Ugy5cVd

Back to Novelty after years feels like meeting an old friend. Some things don’t change, especially that cold coffee.

At Satish Gujral’s own 16 Number House, the Satish Gujral 100: Architecture exhibition blurs the line between art & architecture. From the Belgium Embassy to the UNESCO building, it traces his vision through rare archival material.Loveliest exhibition I’ve seen in recent times.

Some takeaways from India Art Fair, as the city moves between NSIC and exhibitions everywhere.

Saturday immersed in Ai Weiwei at @NatureMorte a stunning first-ever India showing. That S. H. Raza crossover hits hard. Unmissable. Art that questions, provokes, stays!

Among the highlights of the exhibition is the Buddha’s Coffin from Gandhara, from the Indian Museum, Kolkata, depicting monks mourning beside the Buddha, symbolising his Mahaparinirvana and spiritual legacy.

The Piprahwa Jewels now have a permanent home at Qila Rai Pithora, after their repatriation to India following a stalled Sotheby’s auction. Among the largest finds from Piprahwa, these gems are central to early Buddhist history, ritual & material culture.

A little late to the party, but after watching Bramayugam, I have to say in the realm of folklore based storytelling, it edges past Tumbbad.

Absolutely stunning visuals!
