Lodi Gardens

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:12:00

This peaceful park is Delhi’s favourite escape, popular with everyone from power-walking politicians to amorous teens. The gardens are dotted with the crumbling tombs of Sayyid and Lodi rulers, including the impressive 15th-century Bara Gumbad tomb and mosque, and the strikingly different tombs of Mohammed Shah and Sikander Lodi . There’s a lake crossed by the Athpula (eight-piered) bridge, which dates from Emperor Akbar’s reign.
