Once revered. Always revered.

Worshipers settle down for prayers inside the ruins of Khair-ul-Manzil now a historical monument preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Mathura Road, New Delhi, India.
Khair-ul-Manzil

Inspite a bevy of new age mosques scattered across the city of Delhi, worshipers sit down for prayers inside the ruins of the Khair-ul-Manzil. A 15th century structure built almost five centuries their time – during the reign of the Gurkani emperor Akbar, within the walls of the city of Dinpanah before being subsequently abandoned for far grandeur monuments.

Disputed between the Archaeological Survey of India in favour of preserving its antique rareness and the Masjid Basao committee that wanted to see it continue as a mosque, the place since 1992 has been kept open for worship by the order of the high court of Delhi – its venerable care taker, a weary with age, ninety year old man with a weather beaten face and articulate manners.
