"Safdarjung's Tomb was built in 1754. It is built in marble and is located in the Lodi road in the capital city of Delhi. It was built under the aegis of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daulah, Safdarjung's son. Surrounded by blooming gardens, the entire complex of Safdarjung tomb covers a large area. The garden of the tomb has been designed as per the Charbagh style of the Mughal gardens. It is also said that tomb of Safdar Jung is built almost on the same pattern as the Humayun's tomb.
The mausoleum represents that time when the Mughal style of architecture was almost on the road to its downfall. Safdarjung tomb has been constructed out of red sandstone and buff stone. Safdarjung was Subadar Nawab of Oudh.
