Geography & terrain

Lodhi Gardens lie in the New Delhi district of Delhi, 5 km from the India Gate and 250 km from the state borders — the heritage park of the region, its Lodi tombs, the lawns and the birding set on the city's green heart.

History & culture

The gardens' story runs with the 15th–16th century Lodi-era tombs — the park of the Sayyid and the Lodi monuments (the tombs of Mohammed Shah and the Sikandar Lodi), with the gardens' modern role as the city's green walk and the heritage picnic of the capital; the gardens' history of the city's rebuilding and the British-era landscaping, gives Lodhi Gardens their tomb-park character.
