People will get an opportunity to witness the vibrant night life of the walled city of Shahjahanabad during the holy month of Ramzan as an initiative aims at introducing them to the unique culture and cuisines of old Delhi.
Delhi Tourism minister Kapil Mishra who will launch the 'Nightwalk', an initiative by city-state's Tourism department and Delhi Walks, from the historic Jama Masjid gate, said this is an important milestone in reviving the "vibrant and beautiful" nightlife of the city.
The 'Nightwalk' will commence with an 'Iftar Experience' evening at Jama Masjid with people treated to a panoramic view of Shahjahanabad while feasting on traditional Iftar meal comprising fruits, local snacks and sweets, said a senior government official.

The event will be inaugurated on June 8 and a total of nine nightwalk events will be held from June 10 to 26, in the heritage city of Shahjahanabad indulging visitors to mouthwatering cuisines, story-telling sessions and other cultural and Ramzan experiences, he said.
A major attraction of the nightwalk event will be the opportunity to taste the local delicacies including Mutton Korma, Chicken Jahangiri and deserts in the narrow bylanes of Matia Mahal, Daryaganj and other parts of Shahjahanabad, he added.
