Safdarjung Tomb Description : |
 Representing
the last phase of the Mughal style of architecture, Safdarjung's Tomb
stands in the centre of an extensive garden. Built in 1753-1754 by
Nawab Shauja-ud-Daula to house the remains of his father, who was a
minister in the Mughal Court, the tomb is referred to as the "Last
flicker in the lamp of Mughal Architecture". The tomb stands on a high
terrace surrounded by an extensive walled garden. It makes a pleasant
retreat from the urban bustle. It's short walk from Lodi Garden. The
tomb lies at the head of Lodi road. The tomb is roughly on the plans
of Humayun's tomb, though much scaled down. It is set in the middle of
an extensive garden, which spreads over an area of over
300-sq-metre.The garden itself is on the pattern of the Mughal 'Chaharbagh'
style. |
