Both men and women shape the history of Delhi. From Razia Sultana, the first ruler of Delhi who wore vibrant red within the iconic Qutub Complex, to figures like Roshanara and others, women have played a significant role in the city's evolution. Some women nurtured and refined the talents of young men and women in kothas, while others channelled their energies into art and architecture, crafting breathtaking landscapes like Chandni Chowk, Khairul Manzil, and Qudsia Bagh and creating exquisite miniatures, among other accomplishments. These contributions are an integral part of Delhi's rich tapestry, showcasing the diverse and multifaceted nature of its history. If you're planning a trip to Delhi, make sure to add some of the best surviving architecture credited to these wonderful mediaeval women to your itinerary for the weekend. Here is a list of a few of them for your perusal.
