Best Visit Place In Delhi From My View. That's Why I Am Giving Five Star To My One Of The Most Favourite Place.

In Respect Of Mirza Ghalib.

Historical place but very crowded in front.but its okay as it is an old market.you should visit.

Quite and calm place.with some good books of urdu literature and also the urdu translations of foreign languages

Of course, first time in this place but loved the lover & cherisher of Urdu
Enjoyed the program & information shared on Hamdard & founders of Hamdard

This is a small seminar room in Basti Nizamuddin. Small conferences and seminars are held here.

Some immortal remains of Mirza Ghalib with his tomb and a library is the only beautification of this place.

It's sad that a poet of his stature has been provided memory with so unkempt conditions. There is very little in the museum to understand and know about the great poet that he was. The delhi tourism site says that the academy has a painting of Galib made by M. F. Hussain but it wasn't there when we visited. Apparently the painting was gone for some exhibition but the care taker was not actually aware. It's a shame that such great people's life is buried under carelessness and indifference. People, especially youngsters visit to seek inspiration and return disappointed.
Surely the place needs a lot of care.
