The first visit was to Safdarjung’s tomb. This memorial is located near Lodhi Road and was built for Nawab Mirza Muqeem Abdul Mansoor Khan. The mausoleum was completed in 1754 and is the last garden-style mausoleum of the Mughal era. The building materials used are red stone and marble. Abdul Mansoor Khan, who came to India in 1722 and became the ruler of Awadh, was later known as ‘Safdarjung’. He was born in Nisambur, Iran, the birthplace of Umar Khayyam, a famous mathematician, historian, and poet. Despite its size and beauty, this memorial is not a popular tourist destination in Delhi.
