Did You Know These Women Built Old Delhi? | Anoushka Jain | Ep 293 | The Mohua Show

What if the streets of Delhi still carry the stories of powerful women who built the city,but history forgot to tell them?

In this fascinating episode of The Mohua Show, Anoushka Jain, founder of En Route Indian History, takes us on a journey through Delhi’s forgotten past. From Jahanara Begum, who helped design Shahjahanabad, to the women behind iconic monuments, gardens, and public spaces, she uncovers the remarkable female legacy hidden in plain sight.

The conversation explores why Delhi needs history-telling, not just storytelling, the truth about tawaif culture, the city’s rich syncretic traditions, immersive heritage and night walks, and how experiences like ittar walks help us reconnect with India’s cultural heritage through all five senses.

If you love history, travel, architecture, culture, or simply want to discover a side of Delhi you’ve never seen before, this episode is for you.
