About 3Km to the west of Humayun's tomb and adjoining the India
International Centre are the Lodhi Gardens. In these well kept gardens are
the tombs of Sayyid and Lodi rulers. Mohammed Shah's tomb(1450) was a
prototype for the later Mughal-style tomb of Humayun, a design that would
eventually develop into the Taj Mahal.
Other tombs include those of his predecessor, Mubarak Shah(1433), Ibrahim
Lodi(1526) and Sikander lodi(1517). The Bara Gumbad Masjid is a fine example
of its type of plaster decoration. |
