Safdarjung’s Tomb

New Delhi

Built in 1753 – 54 by Nawab Shauja-ud-Daula for his father Safdarjung, a viceroy of Awadh, this garden tomb has been called “the last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture.” Surrounded by lush gardens, the mausoleum’s walls of marble and sandstone enclose a courtyard and a mosque. — SL
