 Mehrolli, the first city of Delhi, first inhabited thousands of years back. Many dynasties have ruled here and it has still nestled amidst history. A part of it has blended in well with modern of stars of indulgence but Mehrolli, according to writer and historian Swapna Lidl, has always been multicultural. This is St. John's Church in Mehrolli. Though more than 90 years old, it is a relative newcomer to this neighbourhood which contains the ancient temple of Jogh Maya dedicated to the sister of Lord Krishna and to the 13th century Dargah of the Sufi saint Kutubudin Bakhtiar Kaki. The architecture of the church reflects the multiculturalism of its setting with its very Mughal arches and its temple-like spire. The people of Mehrolli have lived together for centuries despite their different faiths. The evidence of this diversity can be seen in the unexpected corners of this historic neighbourhood. You can start this walk with some quiet time at the St. John's Church. A short walk down through the little lanes that have a charm similar yet different to Old Delhi is Kutubudin Bakhtiar Kaki's Dargah. It is only befitting that a meal of urad dal, gosht, korma and fried chicken be consumed at the Pehelwan Dhaba or any of the nearby ones along the walk out from the Dargah. It is a diet that fuels the remains of the day well. As you wind through more of the subtle character of this place, not far away is the Yogh Maya Mandir. Observe the details and spend some time in the midst of harmony that has sustained through the change of rulers across centuries here. And oh yes, the better known Kutub Minar is not far away.
