दिल्ली में

in which our traveler and his trusty audio recorder tour delhi, one interesting sound at a time.

Each week, I’ll try to post a recording of life in Delhi.

I thought I’d start blogging on the auspicious day of Diwali. But Diwali’s a bit difficult to record (you can imagine, perhaps, what thousands of fireworks going off at once sounds like), so this week I’ll give you a listen in on last week’s Qawwali at Nizamuddin Dargah. Every Thursday, Sufis gather at Nizamuddin Dargah (which also houses Nizamuddin Auliya’s and Inayat Khan’s tombs, among others’) for Qawwali.
