In New Delhi, India, I was happy to visit a 15th-century tomb. It's a combination of Hindu and Islamic architecture. That was a decade ago, on my first visit to India in 2011.
Ancient tombs in India are grand and built with love. It says something about their character, status, and power in society.
Lodi Garden is named after Sikander Lodi. He was an Afghan Sultan of Delhi Sultanate from the Sayyid dynasty that ruled places in Northern India, like Punjab, including modern-day Pakistan. Together with three other rulers, their remains are in the tomb of this beautiful garden.
I deeply admire Hindu and Islamic architecture as they reveal charm and character. Its artistic expressions are evident in the detailed carvings and designs.
That was a soulful moment when I strolled in the garden, touched the surfaces of well-preserved structures, and felt the vibe back in time.
The Lodi Garden is an ideal place for a morning walk and exercise. It's a solemn place to unwind, sit on the grass, and do yoga and meditation. The surrounding is calm and clean and has a beautiful landscape and greeneries. It's truly relaxing and revitalizing.
In our modern-day world, with advancements in architecture and technology, people will appreciate and value history and culture. It's valuable and priceless. It deserves recognition and respect. And so I did.
I had meaningful moments at the Lodi Garden. The history and culture are what fascinate me. I appreciate a place of such a very high historical value. It leaves a lasting memory and a pleasant reminisce.
