Safdarjung Tomb

Safdarjung Tomb, located in Delhi’s Jor Bagh area, is one of the grandest monuments of the city and yet one that is not crowded or overly popular. While a large number of travellers from all across the world ensure to make their way to places like Jama Masjid and Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung Tomb is one that is often missed and perhaps, saves itself for those special ones who take a few extra steps to reach here.

It has had an unquestionably essential role in shaping the history of the city and being an architectural marvel, it reflects the splendour of the Mughal era. Also known as ‘Safdarjung ka Maqbara,’ the tomb is surrounded by lush green gardens and is made of marble and sandstone. It was built in the late eighteenth century and reflects the cultural influences of the time.

Shri Baba Augharnath Shiv Mandir

It is believed that the Shivling in this temple is self-manifested. That is, this Shivling has emerged from the earth itself. That is why it is a giver of immediate results. Along with fulfilling the wishes of the devotees in the form of Aunghaddani Shiva, he also gives the message of peace. Along with this, he also spreads revolution in the form of Nataraja.

Since Lord Shiva is present here in the form of Shiva, this is why it is called Aunghadnath Temple. It is also known as Kali Paltan Temple
