the establishment in the 15th-16th century
by the Sayyids and Lodis, the vast grounds
of Lodi Garden are famous among joggers
in the city of Delhi, India. Carefully preserved
gardens and medieval monuments provide charm
of these gardens. In 1968, JA Stein and
Garrett Eckbo-these gardens giving them
their present form beautified. The several
tombs located in the garden are part of
the Era and Lodi and Sayyid Muhammad Shah
include 's Tomb and Sikander Lodi 's tomb.
Muhammad Shah (1434 - 44) is the third ruler
of the dynasty Sayyid.
His tomb was built in an
octagonal pattern with an octagonal central
chamber, verandas, three arched openings
on each side and sloping support. Inspired
by Mubarak Shah 's tomb, the tomb has a
more compact, high dome, which corresponds
better chhatris and proportions. Beyond
that, there are other graves, namely Bara
Gumbad and Sheesh Gumbad. Bara Gumbad or
the Great Dome is a square tomb with an
imposing dome. Its facades seem to be two
floors.
He turrets on the corners,
arches, stucco and paint the interior decoration.
It is believed that the tomb belongs to
a high-ranking officer who has served Sikandar
Lodi. In addition to the tomb, it is the
last-Gumbad mosque, built with stone stone.
Its rectangular prayer hall has five arched
openings and is a fine example of early
Mughal mosques. The tapering minarets, built
in the style Tughluq, colour tiles and Koranic
inscriptions ornament the mosque. Built
in 1494, this mosque was built during the
reign of Sikandar Lodi.
Shish Gumbad tomb is built
into the model usual square, with a "double-storey
'appearance, and looks much like Bara Gumbad.
His ceiling is plaster incised with floral
motifs and Koranic inscriptions. We can
still see traces of blue tiles that once
adorned and he gave the name of 'glass dome
'. There are several tombs inside it. Sikandar
Lodi 's tomb was built in the tomb octagonal
model , As Muhammad Shah 's tomb. Chhatris
on the roof are no longer to consider.
Another interesting point
here is to build the 'Athpula 'Bridge. It
was built by Nawab Bahadur the 16th century,
during Akbar 's reign. That bridge is called
Athpula (eight bridge), because it is based
on eight pillars, forming arcs in September.
In addition to these tombs, you can also
visit the National Park Bonsai developed
here, which has a charming collection of
miniature versions of several trees and
plants. They beautiful sunset in a soft
light. The origin known as the Lady Willingdon
Park, it was renamed Lodi Garden after India's
independence in 1947.
