Stepping out on I-Day? Explore Delhi's trails
The I-Day fireworks at Jama Masjid are unmissable
For those planning to step out later today, once morning I-Day celebrations wind down, or on Sunday to keep the I-Day spirit alive, Delhi offers a rich tapestry of history and culture – from heritage walks and community gatherings to iconic landmarks that chronicle India's freedom struggle.
Culture revivalist Abu Sufiyan, founder of Tales of City, says, "Delhi's old walls have witnessed it all – the calls for freedom, stirring speeches, and footsteps of those who risked everything.
Independence Day
is a day to remember that. Heritage walks and baithaks offer a meaningful way to celebrate, bringing the community together. In Old Delhi, patangbaazi is followed by fireworks, with rooftops turning into hubs of stories and conversations."
Visit heritage sites like Purana Qila
With heightened security on the 15th, the days after I-Day are ideal for rediscovering Delhi's heritage – from freedom trails to poetry evenings, we're offering many ways to connect with the city's spirit

For those keen on exploring historic sites, Nitika Arora, founder of Darwesh Taleweavers, suggests, "Beyond the Red Fort, an I-Day heritage tour could include Kashmere Gate, the Partition Museum on Lothian Road, Ferozshah Kotla Fort, where freedom fighters like Chandrashekar Azad and Bhagat Singh met in hiding, and the Town Hall in Chandni Chowk, a symbol of the 1919 Rowlatt Act protests."
