Safdarjung's Tomb is a sandstone and marble mausoleum in New Delhi, India. It was built in 1754 in the late Mughal Empire style for the statesman Safdarjung. The monument has an ambience of spaciousness and an imposing presence with its domed and arched red brown and white coloured structures. Safdarjung was made prime minister of the Mughal Empire when Ahmed Shah Bahadur ascended the throne in 1748.

Great symmetry, including ceiling. I also like the shine of slabs on the ground.

Great shot... but I still want to be cremated. Man that's a lot of real estate to devote to a dead guy.

That structure is nothing nowadays, but in prime location of country capital a 30-40 acres garden/land is something of greatest value.
