Sheesh Mahal reopens after 370 years: A royal Mughal retreat returns to life in Delhi
The historic Sheesh Mahal, a 17th-century Mughal-era palace located in Shalimar Bagh, North Delhi, has been meticulously restored and reopened to the public on July 2, 2025. Built during Emperor Shah Jahan's reign, the monument had long suffered neglect before a full-scale restoration was undertaken by the Archaeological Survey of India and Delhi Development Authority. Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat inaugurated the restored site, calling it a milestone in preserving Delhi's cultural legacy. With its revived Mughal gardens and restored architecture, Sheesh Mahal now stands as a symbol of the city's rich historical and architectural heritage. Sheesh Mahal reopens as a living tribute to Delhi's Mughal heritage Once a royal retreat built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653, the Sheesh Mahal at Shalimar Bagh has reopened after an extensive restoration, shining once again as a living tribute to Delhi's Mughal heritage. From its intricate architecture to the blooming gardens inspired by Char Bagh design, the palace now blends historical grandeur with public accessibility. The revival, led by ASI and DDA, invites visitors to explore a rare glimpse into the city's regal past and cultural richness. With its gardens blooming once again and its palace walls shimmering under the Delhi sun, Sheesh Mahal at Shalimar Bagh now stands not just as a relic of the past, but as a living museum—open, accessible, and deeply meaningful to both residents and visitors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Whether you're a history buff, architecture lover, or just looking to reconnect with Delhi's royal roots, Sheesh Mahal offers a rare glimpse into the city's timeless Mughal legacy. From love to legacy: The story of Sheesh Mahal Originally constructed in 1653 during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan, Sheesh Mahal was once part of a magnificent garden complex designed to serve as a royal retreat. Shalimar Bagh, historically known as Aizzabad Garden, was reportedly commissioned by the emperor in memory of Aizzun-Nisha Begum. The name 'Shalimar', derived from the words Shala (home) and Mara (pleasure), translates to 'abode of pleasure'—an apt description for the serene Mughal garden it once was. Beyond its architectural beauty, the palace also holds a notable place in Indian history—it was the site of Aurangzeb's first coronation in 1658, adding further historical weight to its preservation. How a 2024 visit sparked Sheesh Mahal's restoration For decades, Sheesh Mahal and the surrounding Shalimar Bagh complex—now under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)—suffered from decay and neglect. The turnaround began in earnest following a site visit by Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena in January 2024, which brought attention to its dilapidated state. Following his visit, the ASI took charge of restoring the palace's Mughal architecture, while the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) focused on reviving the garden layout based on the traditional Char Bagh (four-part garden) design—an integral element of Mughal landscaping. Recreating Mughal glory with original techniques The restoration work was grounded in historical accuracy. DDA's conservation team used traditional construction materials such as: Lime surkhi (lime mortar with crushed bricks) Lakhauri bricks (thin Mughal-era bricks) Natural binders like gud (jaggery), belgiri (bael fruit), and urad dal (black gram paste) to mimic original Mughal techniques This dedication to authenticity extended to the restoration of a baradari (pavilion) and three heritage cottages within the garden complex. Historic cottages reimagined as cafés for readers and visitors In a creative blend of preservation and public utility, two of the restored cottages have been repurposed for community use: The Readers' Café Corner: A literary space for book lovers and cultural enthusiasts Café Shalimar : A casual eatery designed for park visitors and heritage tourists These additions aim to make the site more inviting while promoting cultural engagement.

US trade deal: India won't compromise on national interest to meet deadline, says Goyal
NEW DELHI: India will enter into a trade agreement with the US only if its interests are protected and it is able to sustain a tariff advantage over its competitors, while prioritising the interests of farmers, commerce and industry minister said Friday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'India has never discussed any trade agreement or even a tranche of a trade agreement under any time pressure or under any duress. We have to take care of our national interests, we have to ensure that it's a fair deal which gives us a sustained preferential advantage over our competitors and if we get a good deal and we are able to strike the right balance, everything is possible. But we are not working towards any specific deadlines, we are working towards national interest,' he told TOI in an interview, in a reference to the July 9 deadline set by the US President Donald Trump for wrapping up trade agreements. Trump had imposed reciprocal tariffs on nearly 100 countries but agreed to a 90-day pause that is to end Tuesday. India was slapped with 26% reciprocal tariffs. There is uncertainty over whether India and the US can agree to an early tranche or a mini deal before that even as a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement is negotiated by Fall (Sept-Oct) after a meeting between Trump and PM Narendra Modi. For India, lowering tariffs on farm products, such as maize and soybean, as well as dairy products is a concern. While Goyal did not get into specifics, he said that India would not compromise the interests of the farm and dairy sectors. 'We take every concern into account. Farmers' interest is always paramount for the Modi govt. In any negotiation we have done, you have seen the UK, Australia, Mauritius, EFTA and the UAE agreements, India's farmers have been protected. ' Govt has so far refrained from offering concessions in major agricultural products, but for the US, it is the main focus. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While some govt officials said that the US demands are not very clear, for India, Goyal said Indian expectations for duty concessions in labour intensive sectors were the focus of the trade deal. India was hoping for duty concessions in leather, footwear, textiles and some auto parts in return for reducing levies on automobiles and American whiskey. Besides, India wants to be insulated from future tariff adjustments, including sectoral actions, while getting the benefit of lower duties compared with countries such as China and Vietnam. There are only a handful of countries including the UK, China and Vietnam that have so far agreed to trade deals with the US.
