Delhi By Foot

Experience Delhi, the way a city should be...Walk. See. Hear. Stop. Feel. Touch. Taste. Know and Love Dilli Again! [email protected] Mob:+919871181775 No?

We are DelhiByFoot.....the name says it all!! We walk, jump, crawl, tip-toe, scramble, stumble and run all over Delhi, sometimes in sneakers, flip-flops, sandals and sometimes even barefoot! But we are always on foot, exploring Delhi's heritage, traditional lifestyles, the people, their culture, foods, religions & spirituality; learning, unlearning & re-learning about this ancient city of Dhili or Dhillika or Dehli as it has been variously known in its last 2500 years of recorded history. You get the gist, right?! Delhi...People...Photography...Foot...Food...Lovers of Saddi Dilli! We are a band of self-taught ehh…err…well…nature experts...photographers, ehrr....history geeks, activists, academics...mmm...we even blog at times...err kind of a confused lot...Well, we are just like Delhi–many layers, myriad experiences and with a method to our madness! Every nook & cranny in our city is steeped with evidences from times of the Chauhan Rajputs, Tomars, Afghan Pathans, Muslim Sultanate up till the Mughal empire, the architecture of these periods all overlapping and mixing together at times into indistinguishable masses of forts, mosques, temples & ancient buildings. Delhi has the solidity of massive rock walls of Lal Kot near Qutub Minar mixing effortlessly with the most effervescent colors of Delhi's famous bazaars. Centuries of mingling of people have infused our foods & culture with a uniqueness and the people with a unique cosmopolitan spirit, expounded by Delhi-wallahs(as we Delhites are popularly known as) who say 'Dilli hai Dilwallon ki', literally meaning Delhi is for people with a open heart. (Dil is Hindi word for heart)

Reminiscences from Sunday's walk...the 12th year edition of yet another walk that our team pioneered in Delhi over last 15 years of our existence...
The Divine Devi...Maa Durga is on her way...Maa Aschen...!!
Though Kolkata's Kumortuli is far, but in our city we have helped Dilliwallas explore the efforts of hundreds of artisans as CR Park, Delhi's Mini Bengal, readies itself for Durga Puja. The making of the mammoth clay idols, the deft artistry of the Potter's hands, no plaster of paris moulded idols, just straight up with their hands ....

And each year one photo pose never gets missed, a signature of our Pujo Aaschey Cultural Walk exploring nuances of Bengali people...
As it was best put by a participant "Thank you Ramit and DBF team for organising this walk - had a lovely Sunday morning walking through CR park, visiting the Kalibari temple, and the idol making process and artisans, and of course the breakfast!
Ramit, your storytelling is fantastic - it was amazing to hear about the history (Delhi, Bengal, the colonial hangover) and mythology, alongwith the festive traditions and modern-day practices! "

Come join with your family & friends for a wholesome Sunday fun morning!

Happy Independence Day!
As India celebrates its 80th independence day, we revisit Delhi’s heritage through the memories of 1947.
For us, heritage is not just about monuments; it is about the people, memories, and stories that give these spaces meaning. And among Delhi’s many stories is the story of Partition—an event that transformed the city and left its imprint on our heritage. In those difficult months, Delhi’s historic monuments took on new lives. Spaces built for emperors, saints, and communities became temporary homes and refugee camps, sheltering thousands whose lives had been uprooted by Partition.

Congratulations , 45th WORLD HERITAGE mark is a big highlight of the day today!
Another feather in cup. A moment of pride.

Some of you have joined our The Brown Ticket Adventures exploration in Banaras and recall the awe-inspiring moments at and around the Ghats, but Sarnath just takes the breath away; its size and antiquity! And Posts or Reels don't do justice....

Twilight in the City 2026 Event #4

Some moments stay with you long after the last notes & stories fade away!

"Tawaif, Thumri aur Tehzeeb" our evening baithak was one such event where forgotten voices that have been erased by pop-culture found space once again!

Through stories, musical renditions of Thumris & Dhrupad, and shared reflections, we revisited the remarkable legacy of the Tawaifs.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and made this baithak so thoughtful and memorable.

And our deepest gratitude to our wonderful speakers and performers for bringing this history alive with such grace and passion.

Sheher, Shayar aur Shayari: A Night at the Humayun's Tomb Museum
4th July | 6:00 - 8:30 PM

Delhi is still simmering... and while we wait for the monsoon, we're heading underground.

Wander through stories of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Amir Khusrau, Rahim, Rekhta, Qawwalis.

Descend beneath the majestic Humayun's Tomb into a hidden museum where the world of Nizamuddin's Sufis, poets and emperors comes alive. Wander through stories of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Amir Khusrau, Rahim, Rekhta, Qawwalis and the language that shaped Delhi's soul.

And as dusk settles, step out to witness Humayun's Tomb glowing under the evening sky; a perfect finale of poetry, history and quiet magic.

DBF Twilight in the City

Thank you to everyone who joined us on what began as a hot, sultry evening, softened by the promise of a breezy sunset. It was wonderful to see so many enthusiastic participants eager to explore and learn more about the making of our city.

As twilight settled over Delhi, we traced the remarkable story of how a landscape of ridges, villages and ruins was transformed into the capital we know today.
New Delhi emerged not just through architecture and planning, but also through power politics, imperial ambitions, negotiations, and competing visions of what a capital city should be.

Here's to curious minds, thoughtful conversations, and another memorable evening of revisiting & uncovering with fellow Dilli lovers, our grand city's many layers ❤️
