This c1815 AD #CompanyPainting from #India now at #Museum of #Islamic #Art at Qatar depicts a hard to recognise #Delhi scene now.
The #RedFort on the right, Salimgarh Fort on left & #River #Yamuna flowing through the connecting bridge.
Crocodiles & #Sepoys (soldiers) of #EastIndiaCompany can be seen too.
And, ships!
Presently surrounded by residential complexes, only the forts & the bridge exists with a road (highway) now passing under the bridge instead of the river!

What a coincidence!
The River #Yamuna has reclaimed it's original course today.
#photograph by a friend.
Excessive #delhirains wreck havoc with the #River crossing the danger mark, breaching the embankments & flooding the entire area.
Flood water is now at touching the ramparts of #RedFort in North #delhi

The river #Yamuna reclaims its original space and submerge the Ring Road with vengeance and fury.
