Namaste š
Hope you all are doing great!!!
Just as always, I would like to thank you all for all the love and support youāve been giving me in past blogs and today I will be continuing my journey and will write about the last monument and the most important one in the Lodi Garden, New Delhi.
The monument that Iām talking about today is the Tomb of Sikandar Lodhi. It is the monument after which this garden is named. Unlike other monuments of the garden, this one is fortified and lies inside of a well-made structure.
The informational board is placed right next to it, and Iāve tried to capture the information for you guys that you can read in the photograph above. Although itās not the biggest structure in this garden, but in spite of that itās really beautifully built from the fort to the tomb itself. Everything is well thought after and built.
Itās built on an elevated structure and to get inside of it, you have to roam around from the main entrance to the particular entrance of this tomb. The photograph below shows the main entrance of the tomb from where I entered.
Unlike other areas of this garden, this wasnāt much crowded as the other areas were. They were only a couple of persons roaming around when we reached there.
Now you can see in the photographs, how magnificent it was, if anyone could imagine a perfect place to live inside of a garden before 200 years I definitely could see his vision would look like this.
There was a huge area that was specially dedicated to the garden inside of the fort. The boundaries of the photos were not really congested, but there was an ample space for the people to walk around. As already mentioned, they were not many people who were roaming around inside of the tomb of Sikandar as it was quite far away from the main garden.
And because of that, the grass was flourishing, even more as people didnāt walk on it much often. There is an old saying that grass is always greener on the other side, but this time it was true. The grass was indeed greener on the other side of the garden.
The boundaries of this tomb covered the other parts of the garden so that they were not visible from inside. It felt like fever were transported to a completely different place and didnāt felt like we were inside of the Lodi garden.
We continued walking and was about to reach the main building of the tomb where the grave of Sikandar Lodi was present. In spite of this building being 600 years old, it still looked pristine.
We were not allowed to get inside of this building for obvious reasons, but I somehow managed to get my phone inside of the railing to capture the stunning photographs of the grave for you guys.
And there he was sleeping peacefully in a specific place that was dedicated to him. Iām sure that he might not have known at that time when he died that this garden would soon be in the middle of the capital city of India and would be named after him. Thatās what we call a legacy and he has definitely left one behind.
So this is the last part of the series in which I have covered the most important monument of this garden. I just have a couple of blogs left of this beautiful place, and after those blogs, I will be writing about really unique journey that Iāll be going on for 15 days.
Thanks for passing by.
Thatās all for today.
Peace ā®ļø
