Delhipedia@thedelhipedia What if the crowded lanes of Ballimaran once carried boats instead of traffic? 🚣♂️ In Episode 5 of #BehindtheStreetSign we uncover how the neighbourhood’s name is believed to come from the Ballimaars-boatmen who used long bamboo poles to navigate the Yamuna’s shallow waters. The river and boats have disappeared, but their memory may still survive in the name Ballimaran. These lanes also hold the legacy of Mirza Ghalib, whose former residence in Gali Qasim Jan is now preserved as Ghalib Ki Haveli. 📍 Ballimaran, Old Delhi Watch Behind the Street Sign, where we decode Delhi one street at a time. #ballimaran #olddelhi #delhihistory #delhipedia [Behind the Street Sign series, Ballimaran history, meaning of Ballimaran, Mirza Ghalib Haveli, Gali Qasim Jan, Old Delhi heritage, hidden history of Delhi, places to visit in Old Delhi]
