Lodhi Colony, Residential district in New Delhi, India.
Lodhi Colony is a residential neighborhood in New Delhi laid out with geometric precision across multiple blocks. Broad tree-lined streets intersect the area, organizing the housing structures and creating clear pathways throughout the district.
Built by British administrators in the 1940s, this neighborhood was one of their final development projects before India gained independence. The layout reflected the organizational needs of the colonial administration at that time.
The mural-covered walls here feature work by Indian and international artists, making this one of the first neighborhoods in the country to embrace public art on such a scale.
The area connects to central Delhi through multiple transit options, including the nearby Jor Bagh and INA metro stations. The wide streets and clear layout make it easy to explore on foot without needing detailed navigation.
Three major markets operate here - Khanna Market, Meherchand Market, and Main Market - each offering local goods and international products. These markets form the commercial heart of the area and shape its daily rhythm.
