If only a 'house' of stone, brick and mortar could just as easily become a 'home' of peace, prosperity and security. When Humayun transferred his capital from Agra to the fabled land of Dehli in the early 1530s, long revered as the political and spiritual focal point of Perso-Islamicate North India, his intention mirrored that of most of his predecessors - to build a glorious new city to reflect his rule. Little did he know of the dramatic setbacks and turbulent trials which lay ahead for him and his family. His incomplete imperial project, meanwhile, never quite became the 'refuge' it was meant to be. And Dehli ? The earliest chapters of its tryst with the still-young Mughal dynasty, a century before Shahjahanabad, were just as messy and uncomfortable. Why and how such a thing came to pass lies at the heart of our next offering - 'To Seek an (In)auspicious Refuge - A Morning Walk at the Dinpanah'.
