About the Book: Shahjahanabad: The Living City of Old Delhi, Volume II
The second volume of Shahjahanabad, the final instalment in the Where Stones
Speak series, traces the grander and more expansive arc of Shahjahanabads story.
From the imperial sweep of Chandni Chowk and the intimate lanes and mohallas of
the walled city, Rana Safvi moves beyond the walls to the Ridge, Raisina and
Kashmiri Darwaza, closing with the Mughal courts festivals and celebrations.
Where Volume 1 captured the city as it was built and lived in, this volume bears
witness to how it was celebrated and transformed.
