Lodi Garden is located in Delhi, the capital of India. It is a popular place for lovers. This garden was relocated in 1936 on a site that was previously a village, known as the Lady Willingdon Park. It
was renamed Lodi Garden after Indian Independence in 1947.
The monuments around the gardens are Muhammed Shah's Tomb, Sikander Lodi's Tomb, Sheesh Gumbad and Bara Gumbad. The tomb of Mohammed Shah, the last of the Sayyid rulers, was built in 1444 by Ala-ud-din Alam Shah.The Bara Gumbad and the attached mosque were built in 1494 by during the reign of Sikander Lodi. The Sheesh Gumbad or the Glazed Dome, which stands opposite Bara Gumbad and resembles it, was built around the same time. The Sheesh Gumbad is somewhat smaller in size compared to the Bara Gumbad. The tomb of Sikander Lodi was built by Ibrahim Lodi in 1517.  |
