An Urban Village, the Hauz Khas Complex is a fascinating place because of its urban setup and background surrounded by fashionable boutiques and restaurants with its history starting from the 14th Century. The complex contains a water tank, Madrasa or institution/seminary, several medieval tombs and graves, mosques and pavilions, etc. It is predominantly a Tughlaq period complex.

We will see the Hauz Khas from a history buff’s eye and will connect dots in the Indian History context, to see the evolving of an educational set-up to a fashion Hub. In this trail, stories of monuments and their history and the architectural background will be shared in a storytelling manner.
