Lodhi Garden

In the bustling heart of New Delhi, where the clamour of urban life often drowns out the whispers of history, lies a verdant sanctuary that defies time. This enchanting haven is none other than Lodhi Garden, a place where history breathes and nature thrives.

Lodhi Garden traces its roots to the 15th century when Lodhi lords chose it as their burial ground. The garden houses significant tombs, including those of Mohammed Shah and Sikandar Lodi. In 1936, during British colonial rule, Lady Willingdon redesigned the area as a landscaped setting for these ancient monuments, initially naming it Lady Willingdon Park.
