About the Event
Safdarjung Tomb also referred to as 'Safdarjung Ka Maqbara', is a garden tomb in New Delhi. It is made entirely of marble and sandstone. Built in the late 18th century, it is a mausoleum of Safdarjung, a statesman who remained the Wazir ul-Hindustan (Prime Minister of India) during the reign of Ahmad Shah Bahadur. As you visit this mausoleum built by Safdarjung’s son Nawab Shujaud Daula, you can explore what remains the last monumental tomb depicting Mughal architectural style.
