The Bhardwaj Life


My favourite monument in Delhi is Safarjung Tomb. It was the first tourist attraction I visited in Delhi so it will always hold a special place in my heart. It's also a quiet escape from the craziness outside the compounds walls on Lodhi Road! Built between 1753-1754 by Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula, the son of Safdarjung. Safdarjung tomb represents the last phase of the Mughal style architecture being built in red sandstone and buff stone and follows a similar pattern of Humayun Tomb. Located inside are two graves - those of - Safdarjung and his wife.

Chandni Chowk is one of the oldest and busiest markets in Delhi established in 1650 by Princess Jahanara, the favourite daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The market is located in Old Delhi near landmarks such as Red Fort and Jama Masjid. I hadn't been there since our first trip to India in 2013 and finally convinced Hubby and MIL to come along with me. We took the metro from South Delhi and got off at the Chandni Chowk station.
