Lodi Gardens, Medieval park in New Delhi, India

Lodi Gardens is a park in New Delhi district, India, with several stone mausoleums, small lakes, and paths through groups of trees. The grounds cover a large area between busy roads in the southern part of the capital.

Authorities created the park in 1936 by reshaping an area where two villages had stood before. The tomb structures date from the 15th century, when Lodi rulers buried their dead here.

The name recalls the Lodi dynasty, whose rulers governed Delhi in the 15th century before the Mughal era began. Local residents use the park early in the morning for jogging and yoga sessions among the old structures.

The gardens lie on Lodi Road, between Khan Market and Safdarjung's Tomb, about 1 km east of the tomb. The grounds cover roughly 90 acres, with the monuments set among lawns, fountains, ponds and jogging tracks. The National Bonsai Park, a rose garden and a greenhouse are also inside.

The Athpula, or "eight-piered" bridge, carries seven arches, the central one wider than the rest, over a stream bed north of the garden. It is among the few Delhi monuments from the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar, and the Hindi source credits its construction to a noble named Nawab Bahadur.
