Talkatora Gardens, Historical garden and battle site in central Delhi, India
Talkatora Gardens is a landscaped garden in central Delhi with three gateways leading to winding waterways, fountains, and open meadows throughout the grounds. The design creates a flowing layout where paths connect different areas naturally.
The site marks a significant battle location between Mughal and Maratha forces in 1738, where Mughal troops secured victory. This clash shaped the region's role in Delhi's broader history.
The garden displays traditional Mughal architecture through its long wall and octagonal pavilions at each end. These structures shape how visitors move through and experience the space today.
The gardens are free to enter and best visited during afternoon hours when the space is more open. The flat, paved paths throughout make it easy to explore all areas.
The name Talkatora comes from a natural water tank in the western section that was ringed by hills. This geographical feature gave the place its identity and reveals how the land shaped its character long ago.
