1/21
Saturday we ventured down to Hauz Khas village, the trendy area with
a lot of food shops, and discovered there a nice lake reservoir that you
can walk around. An area of relative calm In the chaos of Delhi. The
area is know As Deer Park. It consists of perhaps a couple of acres of
relatively green space. True to its name, there is an enclosure filled
with deer. In addition, some pigs roam the park, along with the
ubiquitous dogs. There is about a half mile concrete walkway around
the lake/reservoir. Given that it was a Saturday afternoon, I was
surprised by how relatively few people were there. Along one shore of
the reservoir stand the ruins of an old palace that was later converted
into a Madras, or. Muslim school. A plaque in front informs us this was
built I the 14th century by the emperor, and hence the title "Haus
Khas" or Royal Lake. Scores of people are scattered among the ruins.
The fallen walls and archways make excellent opportunities for picture
taking
