Tughlaqabad Fort

Heritage Sites tell you a lot about history. They're like Geographical Anecdotal Versions of History Books. Visited this one with the same belief. Don't know how to rate someone's mausoleum. But as they say about the curse of Auliya, this simple, monotonous and left disolate, heavily built Indo-Islamic structure indeed epitomises "Ya rahe ujjar ya base gujjar."

Tughlaqabad Fort made me feel a bit scared and mysterious. Maybe because the entire fort is destroyed, but it was so peaceful. There was no noise at all. Standing at the top, you can see the whole city and hear different sounds from all around. You can even see the Lotus Temple from there, and it looks absolutely beautiful. Overall, the experience felt scary and mysterious, and I loved the story behind it. I got to know from ChatGPT that Nizamuddin Ji cursed the fort because the water supply to the stepwell was stopped. That's why people say the fort remained abandoned. Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes

Built by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq in 1321, Tughlaqabad was the third city of Delhi. To speed up construction, the Sultan banned all laborers from working on a local stepwell for the Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya. Infuriated, the saint cursed the city: "Ya rahe usar, ya base Gujjar"—may it remain barren or be inhabited by nomads. Within years, water scarcity and the Sultan's sudden death led to its abandonment. Today, these massive ruins stand as a silent testament to that ancient prophecy.

Tughlakabad fort is a very old and historical place. The history of this fort is that it was never fully built and prepared . Because it is said that the king of this fort was cursed .But the fort is still worth visiting because there are beautiful views here and this fort is situated at a much higher altitude than Tughlakabad village.
