The city of Shahjahanabad was built on the grave of a princess, when love betrayed her. It was built by a king, who had just lost the love of his life. With the tragic side of love etched in its foundation, this city saw many more tragedies of love and embraced them in its saga. From the betrayal of Nur Bai to the tragic love story of Ghalib, tragic tales of love quietly unfolded behind the fierce politics that ruled the tale of this city.


On this Valentine’s Day, we will recall those love stories that this city still remembers in the embers of its past amidst a mehfil style gathering overlooking the heart of the city, the Jama Masjid!
