Lodi (or Lodhi) Gardens

After the railway fun, Erik and I visited some of the many tombs of India’s Lodi Dynasty and Mughal Dynasties.

Delhi is a city of Empire…for centuries. Everywhere one goes in this town is bombarded with the city’s previous identities.

Not sure what this means…commentary? A joke? I like it nonetheless.

Lodi Gardens was a wonderful, peaceful oasis in a chaotic bustle of Delhi. Many people were out for an afternoon stroll, picnicing, or, dare I say, “canoodling” young couples (albeit, tame) away from their parents….all around 15th century tombs. A really pleasant place.
