Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted the arts and
culture sector around the world. There is a severe research gap
in studies for the knowledge of heritage with regards to the
pandemic. The aim of this research paper is to understand the
effect of the pandemic on intangible and built heritage, taking the
case of Phoolwalon ki Sair, Mehrauli.
Phoolwalon ki Sair or the procession of the florists is a week-long
festival where people of different faiths offer a floral chaadar and
pankha at the Dargah of Khwaja Bakhtiar 'Kaaki' and the Yogmaya
Temple in the heritage precinct of Mehrauli. Delhi. The procession
takes place every year in the months of September-October. The
pandemic years provided a unique opportunity to study the short
and long term impact of the it on communities, livelihoods and
built heritage linked with this festival. This may help perhaps
propose a sustainable framework for a post pandemic world for
heritage to remain relevant and help people recover a sense of
continuity, dignity and empowerment.
