Known as Jahāṇpanāh Wall. It runs approximately 3.2 km in the east-northeast direction from the northeast corner of the Rā'i Pithōrā Fort wall. From there, it stretches to the north-northwest for about 1.6 km, where it joins the western end of the Sīrī Fort wall. There are also traces from the northwest corner of Rā’I Pithōrā wall, for about 1.2 km in the northeast direction. Grid ref. F-12, G-12, H-12

There are distinct traces of stonework as well as large bastions remaining of the south wall in a straight line about 3.2 km long to the east-northeast from the northeast corner of Rā’i Pithōrā wall through Hauẕ Rānī village and Khiṛkī village. Part of this south wall also has a large sluice called Sātpulā, indicating that this structure was both a fort wall and a dam. Today there are also modern-day sluices and drains built in the wall. From contemporary historical sources, it is known that Jahāṇpanāh was built by the Tughluq Dynasty Sulṯān Muḥammad Shāh to connect Delhi (Rā’i Pithōrā Fort at that time) with Sīrī Fort in order to create a new city. Period II.

ジャハーンパナー(Jahāṇpanāh)の城壁として知られている。ラーイ・ピトーラーの城砦の城壁の東北隅から,東北東に約3.2キロメートル走り,そこから,北北西に約1.6キロメートルのびて,スィーリーの城壁の西端につらなる。一方,ラーイ・ピトーラーの城壁の北西隅から,東北に約1.2キロメートルのあいだ,その痕跡をたどることができる。附図.F・G・H-12

現在では,ラーイ・ピトーラーの城壁の東北隅から,ハウズ・ラーニー,キルキーの両部落を経て,東北東に一直線に,約3.2キロメートル走る南城壁に,明瞭な石積みや,大きなバスティオンの痕跡を認めることができる。この南城壁の一部に,サート・プラとよばれる大水門がつくられており,この南城壁が,同時に,堰堤の役割りをもはたしたことを示している。現在では,この南城壁のところどころに,近代の水門や排水路が設けられている。ジャハーンパナーは,トゥグルク朝のスルターン・ムハンマド・シャーが,当時のデリーすなわちラーイ・ピトーラーの城砦と,スィーリーの城砦とを結んで,新しい都市の建設計画を推進しようとして構築したものであることが,同時代の文献に記されている。第Ⅱ期。

2015-18 Survey

Jahan Panah was a large city spanning 5.3km in the east-west direction and 2.2km in the north-south. South of Khirki village is Press Enclave Marg, which coincides with the south wall of the city of O5. The section that spreads east from the north of Rai Pithora is the north part of Qutb Golf Course, and forms a ribbon-shaped park with Press Enclave Marg. The city wall that stretches east from the northeast corner of Delhi Golf Course runs parallel to Press Enclave Marg on its north, partially forming another ribbon-shaped park.

The eastern end crosses over Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg and enters Jahan Panah City Forest, curves in a U-shape around the new residential area called Greater Kailash, and connects with O1 north of Krish Vihar. This section is not part of any preservation plan.

It is thought that the city wall that runs northeast from the northern end of Rai Pithora passes through the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology from the waterway west of Qutb Institutional Area’s Block C, continues to the intersection of Outer Ring Road and Aurobindo Marg, and goes through Block F Road in the Police Colony Block to connect with the burj on the west end of Shahpur Jat in O1. This part is also not preserved.

[現状] Khirki集落南にPress Enclave Margがあり、O5の南市壁にあたる。Rai Pithora北から東へ向かう部分は、Qutb Golf Course北にあたり、Press Enclave Margが走り、帯状公園となる。Delhi Golf Course北東隅から東へ伸びる市壁は、Press Enclave Marg北側に並行し、部分的に帯状公園となる。

東端は、Lal Bahadur Shastri Margを越えJahan Panah City Forestに入り、新興住宅地Greater Kailash内をU字にカーブしO1とKrish Viharの北で繋がり、ここで遺跡保存は考えられていない。

Rai Pithora北端部から北東へと進む市壁は、Qutb Institutional AreaのBlock C西の水路からIndian Institute of Technology構内を通りOuter Ring RoadとAurobind Margの交差点へ進み、Police Colony Block内のBlock F Roadを通りO1のShahpur Jat 西端のボルジュと繋がったと思われ、この部分も保存されていない。

Jahan Panahは、東西5.3km南北2.2kmにもおよぶ広大な都市域であった。
