Officials said the events will cover a fascinating mix of history, language, music, and dance, offering a fresh perspective on Delhi's layered heritage. Each month, one event will take participants to a different corner of the city’s past. Highlights include guided walks along the surviving walls and gates of Shahjahanabad, explorations of Ashoka’s rock edicts, and sessions on the Persian language and its influence on Delhi's culture. Classical music and dance enthusiasts can look forward to demonstrations of Kathak, Odissi, and Kuchipudi in the “waste to wonder” parks.
