Dalrymple's Delhi

A heritage walk in Mehrauli Archaeological Park and nearby areas, led by none other than historian William Dalrymple, sounded too tempting to miss. It was indeed a different experience to listen to the author of "The Last Mughal" discussing the last of the Mughals in front of the last Mughal structure, the Hathi Gate of Zafar Mahal.
