DESTINATION: Tughlaqabad Fort

a picture says a thousand words.............

My friends and I arrived at the fort by 

7:00 in the morning and we were the first ones to buy the tickets. 
The view of the magnificent façade of the fort from the road got me excited even before I could get inside.

Arriving at the fort, one cannot help but 
 feel impressed by the imposing walls of
the fort. Which was built to withstand attacks by Mongols, unlike the Red Fort or Purana Quila, which seem to be built for the comfortable and luxurious housing of Mughal Emperors.




There’s an interesting legend associated 
with the Tughlaqabad Fort. Some believe that Tughlakabad Fort was cursed by Delhi’s Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. Having a strained relationship with Ghiasuddin, he had said, “Ya rahey ujjar, ya basey gujjar” (“May [the fort] remain unoccupied, or else be occupied by herdsmen).”

The crumbling remains of the Tughlaqabad Fort are reminiscent of its lost grandeur...

Somebody said it right “No matter how mighty they are, they all end up the same way - Tughlaq was allegedly helped to his destiny by his son who orchestrated an assassination against him”

In the end.....
life moves on & the passion for more!!!!
