Description

Sangin Beg Sair-ul-Manazil is an 18th-century account of Delhi's monuments and landmarks. Written in Persian by Sangin and later translated into English, this volume offers a unique glimpse into the city's history and social life during its time. The author's attempt to list all the notable buildings, wells, gardens, houses, shops, and graves in Delhi is remarkable, considering the era. What makes this work engaging is the inclusion of descriptions of localities, people, social activities, fairs, and historical anecdotes that bring the narrative to life. This book includes maps and sketches that not only illustrate the text but also add a visual dimension to its storytelling.
