Art Escapes to Explore the Unconventional in Delhi

Sir Edwin Lutyens, the architect of Delhi, was honoured when Delhi was named after him as Lutyens Delhi during British rule in India.  It is common knowledge that with every ruling party, certain pieces of art/ memory become not just a practice but a culture. One of the best methods to capture this culture has been in the form of art that can depict a certain incident long after it actually happened. Each art format speaks its own story and makes it pleasant for the spectators to get transported to the time gone by or simply to enjoy the art in its present form. Let’s look at some of the art escapes to explore the unconventional in Delhi:

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum

Madame Marie Tussauds, a sculptor specializing in wax sculpting, has over 20 wax museums across the globe, one of which is in Delhi. It portrays wax idols of famous Indian celebrities. The temperature is highly controlled using machinery to avoid any damages to the idols. These idols are infamous poses of those celebrities, reminding something nostalgic for the fans who understand the emotion behind each idol displayed. It is a great tourist attraction for those looking for an opportunity to run and explore the pure artistic revelation this city can make.

Lotus Temple

This is a temple for worship by the Baha'i cast. They worship their God here, and it was created in 1986. Though it is just a temple, the most intriguing part is its shape that has been constructed like a Lotus flower. This is an engineering and artistic marvel, and due to this, the Lotus temple is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Delhi. This peaceful place is a must-visit for those who wish to explore the best of art in their surroundings.

Heritage Sites

Delhi and its heritage sites go hand in hand. Delhi was the capital of Mughals, who built multiple structures for their ruling and commands. Unfortunately, these sites deteriorated over time. The archaeological survey of India keeps a check on the condition of these structures that are a telltale of so many historical events that were undocumented. The artistic pattern and drawings depict the past culture and must be visited to know more about the history and the type of art that existed then. Book one of the best PGs in Saket and explore heritage sites nearby such as the Archaeological Park, Qutab Minar, Humayun Tomb etc.

Bhuli Bhatiyari Mahal

This is one of the most touristy mystery places that is significantly less talked about and is always rumoured about. Bhuli Bhatiyari was an area made for hunting and occasional Darbaar meetings by the King. This place is now a suspected haunted place on the pretext that there had been so many animal killings on this site, and the souls of those departed here now curse it. There are multiple stories, but the place is beautifully constructed and takes one back to the era.

Although this is a non-exhaustive list, a better understanding of this city can happen only if travellers decide to toss their bags in PG in Saket, Delhi and then cover the entire unconventional side of Delhi with zero fatigue and full enthusiasm. As an inspiration to pack your bags, book one of the PGs by Your-Space and you will have zero regrets when it’s time to go back home.
