Following the birds flying in the twilight it becomes easy to pass quickly from one dream to another.
This is the twilight of a Mughal dream.
The ethereal beauty and tranquil charm of Safdarjung’s Tomb, which is located in Delhi, is a distinctive and an elegant style of architecture in which indigenous traditions of Indo-Islamic architecture were combined with forms and techniques imported from Iran and Central Asia.
Safdarjung was the powerful Prime Minister of Muhammad Shah, the Mughal emperor between 1719-48.
