Crumbling places, picturesque lakes, Islamic seminary, a mosque, medieval tombs, hidden rooms and iconic and the impressive architecture of historic buildings are some of the best places you would find in Hauz Khas. The stories and legends behind this heritage are drastically stupendous. But, the main thing is that people don’t want to know the story behind this.
And now, Hauz khas has become a selfie point because now people come here with their friends and family spend their lovely time but most of them are only interested in taking selfies and don’t want to explore this historical place.
Actually, last week I went to Hauz-Khas to see the historical places for which it was basically known for. When I entered I saw a board where it was written about ‘The lake, and how Hauz-khas’ got its name? After going through all the things written on the board, I came to know the whole story of Hauz-Khas. However, I studied history of Alauddin Khalji in school time but, I didn’t remember it at all at that time.
On the other hand, I noticed many people never wanted to see heritage and they were only interested in taking selfies in different poses like changing their hairstyle to get an amazing picture. Clicking pics is good thing but I wish every people should enjoy the beautiful heritage and know how Alauddin khalji made this beautiful structure. Many caves and underground jail structured rooms made at that time look horrible but people never understand its value, in fact, they make walls of the heritage grubby.
That day, I saw plenty of foreign tourists who were only busy in taking pictures of monument and they understood its value. Even, their guide told the value of this building how Alauddin khalji spend time and made wall. So, according to me, outside people or tourists understand our historical values but why Indian tourists never understand the value of their own heritage. They write names like laila, majnu and make the heritage dirty. Is this a good thing? Even foreign tourists are keen to take monument pictures and don’t take their own photos or selfies.
We also took a lot of selfies and pictures and we got tired because Hauz-khas is very enormous heritage and there are beaches, gardens, bars, and tons of other things. And so we got tired and decided to take some rest.
Most probably, people take their own selfie and we noticed it. But the good moment was that when we saw people making funny poses and capturing selfies with different hair style and pouts.
However, we enjoyed extensively and took selfies with historical monuments and also saw many natural things like bats sleeping on trees, which was my first experience. It looked a little horrible but the astonishing and plentiful pigeons were flying here and there. I think everyone must visit Hauz Khas once, not just to take selfies but also to enjoyed natural beauty of heritage and understand ‘how a great king made this wonderful architecture’.
Eventually, I took a lot of pictures of Hauz-Khas lake, monuments, and architecture but One thing that was missing was that there were no ladders to go nearby the lake but the connection between building and lake is so good that it can be seen from the room of Alauddin khalji.
