Lodi Gardens

Went to the Lodi Gardens today. So far, its the most pleasant free place I've seen in Delhi. Lots of nice landscaping punctuated by the occasional ruined tomb. Its far from the road noise with quiet paths to walk. There's also a zen garden which smells of cabbage, but if you meditate on your navel you hardly notice.

I believe these are the same Lodis as Sher Khan Lodi mentioned a few posts back, who Humayun defeated to conquer Delhi. So the winner got his tomb in a walled-off UNESCO site while the loser's tomb is kept in a public garden where any rif-raf can come through. I wonder, if ol' Sher Khan Lodi had realized the stakes were so high, might he have fought even harder?
