A peaceful place in a bustling city, Safdarjung's Tomb is a typical piece of Mughal architecture and another jewel in the crown of Delhi's many historical attractions.
It was the Charbagh garden I walked through on my way to the mausoleum, which is located exactly in the centre. No reflection of the majestic building as the water was lacking, but also no crowds. I walked up to the platform of the mausoleum, from where I could appreciate the beautifully decorated exterior of Safdarjung's Tomb. High above me, colourful birds were playing against the walls; inside, there was an eerie silence. You enter though one of the arched gateways of the square building. After your eyes have adjusted to the darkness, they are immediately drawn to the geometrical decorations carved into the ceiling. Once you continue, you reach the very centre of attention of this place: you stand right in front of the tombstone of Safdarjung. The marble tomb is dwarfed by the enormously high ceiling above it and the large gardens around the mausoleum. No matter how important the man, his tomb is a small white marble coffin, infinitely smaller than its surroundings. Here, you feel the smallness of life.
