The 17th-century gem of Delhi's Mughal heritage, namely the Sheesh Mahal, has finally been reopened to the public after a long period of conservation. Located within the historic Shalimar Bagh in the north of the city, the monument which was once a royal retreat for Emperor Shahjahan, has been plugged back into the tourist circuit by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), replete with guided public access for the first time in over 370 years. The unveiling marks a significant step in the heritage history and tourism in Delhi.
