 What words of mine can describe
the beauty of the grass and of the
wild flowers? They clothe each hill
and dale, each slope and plain. I
know of no place so pleasant in
climate and so pretty in scenery as
Mandu in the rainy season. 

                                    Emperor Jahangir

Shaadiabad – literally the city of joy – was the name given to this opulent human settlement where new heights were reached in spheres of architecture, art and culture. If the architects of Shaadiabad gave us the first edifice of white marble in the Indian Sub-continent, the painters of Ghiyath Shah left us with the exquisitely crafted Nimatnama – probably the first illustrated cook book in the world.

” In the ruins of Mandu, the walls of bricks and bodies have fallen, but the love of Baz Bahadur and Roopmati has survived. I find it a fascinating haunt. While driving from Bombay to northern India, Mandu was always my favourite place to halt for the night. Though Mandu has fallen prey to noisy touristy attractions in recent times, the ruins still haunt me as a lovers’ rendezvous.
When I was writing this song (Naam gum jayega), the location was very much alive in my mind. Later I picturized it there. ”
