Safdarjung's tomb is a sandstone and marble mausoleum in Delhi, India. It was built in 1754 in the late Mughal Empire style for Nawab Safdarjung. The monument has an ambience of spaciousness and an imposing presence with its domed and arched red brown and white coloured structures. Safdarjung, Nawab of Oudh, was made prime minister of the Mughal Empire (Wazir ul-Mamlak-i-Hindustan) when Ahmed Shah Bahadur ascended the throne in 1748.

Lodhi Art District in Lodhi Colony. This mural marvel is India’s first ever open-air art district where 25 street artists from India and around the world came together and painted the walls to soothe the viewers’ souls.

Stop 4

India Habitat Centre (IHC) was conceived to provide a physical environment that would catalyse a synergetic relationship between individuals and institutions working in diverse habitat-related areas and would maximize their total effectiveness. To facilitate this interaction, the Centre provides a superb range of facilities.

Representative of “ecology by design, India Habitat Centre was Stein’s most extensive project. It is perhaps most successful as a work of urban design. This place handles transportation and an enormous variety of public and private activities, from housing to banking to entertainment to food. A city within a city is an intellectual shopping centre that provides cheap green curry, great theatre, cutting-edge art and wonderful outdoor spaces that are comfortable even in summer.
