Lodhi Gardens:
Adjoining the India International Centre is this garden built around the tombs of Sayyid and Lodhi rulers. This garden is very well planned with artificial streams. The architectural style of the tombs was later used in the construction of the Taj Mahal.

The beautiful and serene Lodhi Garden was designed over two dynasties by the Sayyids and Lodhis in the 15-16th century. The park works as a breather from the hustle and bustle of the city, especially in the early mornings and early evenings, when fitness enthusiasts come for brisk walks or to jog through the manicured gardens against a backdrop of much-graffitied medieval monuments.

During the British times, the garden was re-christened Lady Willingdon Park but the original name was reverted to after India’s independence. In 1968, the gardens were spruced up and re-landscaped by JA Stein and Garrett Eckbo.

Shalimar Garden
A narrow road branching off west from the Delhi-Karnal road about 10-km from Delhi, just beyond Badli Sarai, leads to the village that has the Shalimar Garden, where Aurangzeb crowned himself on 31st July, 1658.

Originally, it consisted of an enclosure with a palace in the centre, called Sheesh-Mahal, now surviving in parts with patches of painting. There were also some other buildings, but they have all disappeared.
Originally, the garden was known as 'Aizzabad-Bagh'. It was perhaps built by Shah Jahan and named after his mistress Aizzu'n-Nisa Begam. Aurangzeb used it as his country-house.

It has also been recorded by European travellers Bernier and Cotrou that Sir David Ochterlony, a British resident of Delhi, used Shalimar Bagh as his summer retreat.
