Clikwalk @ Safdarjung Tomb, New Delhi

Clickwalk Started on 1st April 2012 and it's 19 weeks since the start and every week we are click walking around Delhi at various places. The group starts early morning 6 am (I know not so early) and goes to places clicking, talking, laughing while walking around a monument or any other place....

Last Saturday (11th Aug) we went to Safdarjung Tomb, a place I have crossed so many time in my life but never visited...I always thought it is nothing more then a lovers point and ofcourse my interest in historical places also was not that great ever but when I visited Safdarjung Tomb on clickwalk with other members of the group (Riddhish, Romel, Shailendra, Manish etc.) the place was quiet nice. It is a well maintained place with good open green space around and well preserved I must say.

Not only the place was good but the weather also was nice with cloudy sky as a good backdrop and lots of birds flying around the monument....
A beautiful mausoleum, Safdarjung's Tomb was built by son of Safdarjung "Nawab Shuja-ud-Daulah". It was built in 1754 in the late Mughal Empire style, and was described as "the last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture". Enough has been written about this place so I shall link you to other sites to know more about Safdarjung Tomb and shall share some of mine and my clickwalk friends photographs.
