About the event
Lodhi Gardens is a city park situated in New Delhi. Spread over 90 acres. It contains architectural works of the 15th century by Sayyids & Lodhis - who ruled parts of northern India and Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of modern-day Pakistan from 1414 to 1526. The site is now protected by the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI). Lodhi Gardens are one of the pleasantest green spaces in Delhi - with some labelled trees to help visitors from overseas become familiar with the Indian flora.
