1. ‘Chhota Batashewala’
One of the 6 lovingly restored monuments by @AKF_India in the delightful @sundernursery. The collapsed dome and the verdant setting lends an ethereal quality to this palace. Why is it called Batashewala? Well there's a Bada Batashewala next door.

2. ‘Khooni Darwaza’
Built by Sher Shah Suri, also called Kabuli Darwaza.
This innocuous looking Gate on Bahadur Shah Zafar Road hides a gory past. This is where Dara Shukoh’s head was displayed and where Maj Hodson murdered Mughal Emperor’s sons in 1857.
