About this audio guide
This guide to Bhuli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal on Delhi's ridge traces this fourteenth-century hunting lodge back to sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq, and to the woman whose name it carries after his dynasty faded and the forest closed back in. It weighs three different stories for who Bhuli Bhatiyari really was, a Sufi mystic, a lost caretaker from Rajasthan, or an imprisoned queen, against the reputation for haunting that has grown around the seven-hundred-year-old ruins. Guards won't stay past sunset; the gates close at five.
