Raushan Chiragh-i-Dihli

It is the burial place and tomb of Sufi saint Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud. Entitled Raushan Chiragh-i-Dihli, which means the 'Illuminated lamp of Delhi', the saint died in the year 1356. He was a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin, whom he succeeded as the head of the Chisti sect. The village of Chirag Delhi, now an urban settlement gradually grew up around this sacred tomb and was earlier enclosed within rubble-built rectangular walls with gateways on each side, built by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq (1325-51).

El texto que acompaña la imagen:

‘The first night we cleaned some beds in the tuberculosis ward and slept there. I thought: ‘it just for a couple of nights, while the government settles our situation.’ It’s been ten years. Now I live in the Mental Health Pavilion. The Hospital is falling down to ruins. So is my life.’
Edelmira told me this the first day I met her. It’s the story of over seventy families that lost their homes for lack of payment during their last months of service. They were forced to remake their homes in the Hospital, just ten blocks away from Plaza de Bolívar.






¡Me va a tocar ir a California! ¿Sioqué?

Me emociona porque es con mi trabajo del San Juan, que considero es mi primer proyecto personal.
