Kabootarbazi: The Love & Passion of Pigeon Keeping in Old Delhi

Pigeon keeping has a long and rich history in India. It is said that Shahjahan transported the tradition when he shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi and built Shahjahanabad, the original name of Old Delhi.
Pigeon became the symbol of the new city. There were pigeon clubs like we have football clubs these days.
The sport continues to flourish and still inspires lyricists to write songs. Like any other sport, pigeon keeping has its own set of rules and hierarchy which the pigeon keepers abide by.
The sport is showcased during Independence day to celebrate the occasion of freedom mixed with culture and tradition.

Kabootarbaji is not a rich man hobby

[@tauqeerkhan91]

lalit giri depend upon the quality of birds you are keeping.

[@lalitgiri6403]

Tauqeer khan kya naam hai un birds ka

[@tauqeerkhan91]

lalit giri Hyderabadi junglay can cost you around 2.5k to 20k depending upon its quality same goes with banarasi ghagre, lal ban ghagra, qumri lal ban this few breeds are very costly and people in Hyderabad prefer to keep this breeds for gola bazi and if you come to pigeon racing then prices can never be expected for single pigeon people pay around 10k to 1 lakh.
