Three onion-shaped domes and a huge ornately decorated gateway made me realize that I actually had. After paying the entrance fee, with the traffic noise behind me, I walked through the gate and entered a haven of silence. Coincidentally, the sun managed to break through the clouds, and before my eyes I saw a large park with, in the very middle, the proud Mausoleum of Safdarjung, a brown-red building with domes and slender towers at the corners. Unfortunately, the water canals were empty; they would have given the place a more stately impression. Still, the many palm trees and the well-kept garden looked inviting, so I walked in on the brown-reddish lane.
