Lodi Gardens

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 entrance sits directly on Lodi Road, which connects Khan Market with other parts of town. The grounds open at sunrise and close at sunset, every day of the week.

A stone bridge with eight piers crosses one of the lakes inside the park grounds. The construction was built during the reign of Emperor Akbar in the 16th century.
