The 16th century Lotus Pond at Sunder Nursery, New Delhi. In 2009 earthworks revealed a 16th century lotus pond that would have stood within the enclosed garden of Sunder Burj & Sunderwala Mahal. Though dilapidated, the Lotus pond has been carefully restored by the Aga Khan Trust For Culture. Also, the Lotus are blooming here again. . . . #sundernursery #aktc #agakhanfoundation #newdelhi #delhi #worldheritage #unseco #studiosohaib #architecturephotography #architecturalfilm #delhigram #unzipdelhi #describingdelhi #delhimornings #dfordelhi #streetsofdelhi #_coi #_soi #incredibleindia (at Sunder Nursery - Delhi's Heritage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDnzBHYjwS5/?igshid=1kgl7wu5bi9q4

Sunder Burj is situated at the main entrance to Sunder Nursery, the city’s first arboretum, established in the early 20th century. There are also approximately 15 other historical monuments within the complex, including the Lakkarwala Burj, the Mughal Tomb, and Mirza Muzaffar Hussain’s tomb. Extensive conservation work has been carried out on the mausoleums, keeping in mind the preservation of their architectural integrity by Aga Khan Trust For Culture.   . . . . #sundernursery #aktc #djicreator #delhi #studiosohaib #heritage #worldheritage #history #agakhanfoundation #unescoworldheritage #incredibleindia #delhigram #delhitourism_official #unzipdelhi #describingdelhi #dfordelhi #delhimornings (at Sunder Nursery - Delhi's Heritage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlJI43jNWM/?igshid=xfj313fh5ks7
