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.
Safdarjung was a governor of Oudh and, later, Chief Minister of India in the mid-18th century. His real name was Mirza Muqim Abul Mansur Khan, but Moghul emperor Muhammad Shah named him Safdarjung. He later served under emperor Ahmad Shah. After his death, his son had the mausoleum constructed using red sandstone and buff. Safdarjung's Tomb has been called the last flicker in the lamp of the Mughal architecture in Delhi. The most famous flicker, of course, being the world famous Taj Mahal. The gardens are designed in Charbagh layout, originating in ancient Persia, where a square garden is subdivided into four smaller parts.
