The garden houses several 15th and 16th-century monuments built during the reign of the Lodhi dynasty, which ruled parts of northern India before the Mughal Empire.
Tomb of Muhammad Shah: A beautifully designed octagonal tomb built in the 15th century for Muhammad Shah, the third ruler of the Sayyid Dynasty.
Sikander Lodi’s Tomb: This is the tomb of Sikander Lodi, a ruler of the Lodi dynasty, which precedes the Mughal period. It’s an impressive structure surrounded by lush greenery.
Bara Gumbad and Mosque: A large dome and an adjacent mosque built in 1494. These buildings are well-known for their stunning architecture and intricate detailing.
Shisha Gumbad: Meaning “glass dome,” this tomb is thought to house an unknown family from the Lodi dynasty. The exterior once had glazed tiles, giving it a shiny, glass-like appearance.
Lodhi Garden is also famous for its well-maintained walking paths, gardens, and ponds, making it an ideal spot for picnics, morning walks, and photography. It’s a peaceful oasis in the heart of New Delhi, blending nature with history.
