Book Summary
Written in the 1820s, Sair-ul-Manazil, as far as we know, is the first attempt
to systematically list the monuments of the city of Delhi. Apart from public
buildings like mosques, temples, shrines, and tombs, it lists wells, gardens,
houses, shops, and stray graves. This was in itself a formidable task, and one
that might easily have resulted in a very dry and tedious document. The author,
however, considerably enlivens it by a description of the various localities of
the city, of the people who lived and worked there in his time, social
activities and fairs, and historical anecdotes connected with places and people.
