Safdarjung's Tomb

Why go

The approach through the garden helps explain the tomb's design. Built for Safdarjung in the mid-eighteenth century, it brings the Mughal garden-tomb tradition into a later period. Move from the gateway toward the domed mausoleum and look sideways to the named pavilions rather than stopping at the central view.

What to look for

• The axial garden leading to the domed mausoleum
• The smaller Jangli Mahal and Moti Mahal pavilions

Useful to know

• Walk the garden axis first, then explore the side pavilions for a fuller sense of the layout.
• Plan for an outdoor visit and allow daylight to see the garden geometry.
