Safdarjung's Tomb

Safdarjung's Tomb is an ornate mausoleum built in the mid-18th century to honour Safdarjung, a noble of the Mughal Empire. Crafted from buff sandstone and marble, this structure features lush gardens in the Persian style, with intricate inlay work and large domes that reflect the Mughal architectural legacy. Allocate about an hour to wander the expansive gardens and admire the central tomb. Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds, when the light is gentle and the air cool. It's located in the Safdarjung Enclave, a short drive from the bustling neighbourhood of Hauz Khas.
