Its really, nice place... To enjoy the morning...!! There is a lake, open big lawns..and many more things. These tombs are almost 500 year old tombs.

The monument was constructed during the reign of Sikander Lodi, the son of Bahlol Lodi, who ruled for twenty-eight years from AD 1489-1517. His empire extended from Punjab to Bihar and he built his capital at Agra. Bada Gumbad literally means the building with a big (bada) dome (gumbad).Lodhi Gardens aka Lodi Gardens traces its history back to 1444 when the tomb of Mohammed Shah, a Sayyid Dynasty ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, was erected here by his son and the last ruler of the dynasty, Ala-ud-din Alam Shah.

The Bada Gumbad Masjid or the big dome mosque is located inside the Lodi Garden and is made with the typical Lodi style that uses decorative techniques of incised and painted limestone plaster. The other captivating feature was the Jharokhas that are cantilevered enclosed openings. The Jharokhas served the purpose of illumination, ventilation, and peeping out of the structure and keeping a watch on the surroundings. Based on the inscriptions on its arches, the time is estimated to be around 1494 which is also mentioned on the plaque installed nearby. There is also a Mehman Khana or Guest Hall adjoining the mosque. Another unique thing I noticed about the Big Dome was that it appears double-story from the outside but is a single space from the inside.♿ Accessibility Features:Yes=Ramp access.Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Entrance.Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Restroom/Toilet.Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Seating.Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Parking.

Majestic and beautiful!

The Bada Gumbad is a Lodi Dynasty era building that comprises a mosque and what’s thought to be a large building that’s either intended to be a tomb or a gateway into the mosque. Some of the nicest features include the deceptive double storey that’s actually single, the fluted minarets that look like precursors of the Qutub Minar design, and the richly decorated arches of the mosque.This building is set in the lovely Lodi gardens and is a popular photo spot, especially it seems for wedding couples. Worth visiting along with the nearby Shish Gumbad. Both are photogenic.

What a beautiful handwork and architecture one can witness while its still in one piece.

A tomb with a lot of historical value. Best place to spent with family and friends in the evening time.

This is situated with in the centre location of Lodhi garden. The gumbad is in shamble as visitors wants a close shot by kissing and touching the monument. It should be avoided. The place round is cool for joggers and others to rest and enjoy. Washrooms are nearby.

Bada Gumbad at Lodhi Garden, New Delhi. Built in the Lodhi era.

Loved it.Very pleasant and beautiful place to hang out.Gooses, birds, monkeys and different flowers.Good to bring young kids too.Car parkjng facilities available here.No entry fee required.Mainly people come for the walk.

Bada gumbad is located at Lodhi garden. But, prayer hall is not available at this mosque. This is reality of my countrys heritage. The king was built a fort & mosque for peoples but, government is not able to protect this. No Namaz(Salat) schedule is available here

Very beautiful structure

The monument is situated near the Tomb of Sikandar Lodhi and Shisha Gumbad. Although the three structures, which share a common raised platform, were all built during the Lodhi reign, they were not constructed at the same time. The intended purpose of the builders of Bara Gumbad is unclear: it may have been intended as a free-standing tomb, but no tombstone has been identified, or as a gateway. The area in which Bara Gumbad is situated was formally called Khairpur village.

Its lacks proper maintenance and cleanliness.

This bada gumbad is situated inside of lodhi gardan, well maintained.

Nyc place for morning walk and spend some time with nature beauty. A well maintained for photography. Lake nd ducks ,rose garden #click to capture

Awesome place to visit

Fascinating structure in a very lively place. The park around it is very popular with shoolcildren. No restrictions to enter and look around.

Bara Gumbad (Big Dome) Complex:The Bara Gumbad, or big dome, is a large domed structure grouped together with the Friday Mosque of Sikander Lodi on the left and a Mehman Khana (guesthouse) on the right. The three buildings were constructed at different times during the Lodi era but occupy a common raised platform.

Beautiful Lodhi gardens

As the name suggests dome here is really huge and there is a mosque beside it.

Really good for a morning walk and evening strolls. Lot of fresh air, lots of greenery here. Sometimes can get a little crowded but overall the experience is very good!

Calm and serene atmosphere, great place to relax

This is amazing place to spend time in lodhi GardenAnd lots of fun ..

Amazing place, good architecture

Amazing place

Good place for spending quality time with near ones....

Amazing garden

I was here.

A very underrated place in delhi

Place inside lodhi garden.

Bada Gumbad mosque is a tiny rectangular three domed mosque approached through an ornamented five-arch entrance.Built in 1494, the interiors of the mosque are richly decorated with intricate calligraphy, floral and geometric designs, Quranic inscriptions.The ceiling under the main dome displays profuse paintwork in red & blue.The western wall with mihrabs (Mecca-facing wall faced by Muslims while praying) are ornamentedThe back wall with tapering turrets & jharokha on the sides are unique features of the Gumbad

Great

Small tomb in lodhi garden not much to view

Beautiful peaceful place.

More crowded than Safdarjung Tomb and Md. Sayyids Tomb combined but great place for hanging out and clicking photos. The engraved scriptures of the adjacent mosque are astoundingly clear and almost untouched. Surely recommended to visit and give sometime. A main reason why I would like to visit Lodhi Garden again.

Needs more maintainance.

This place is situated in Lodhi Garden. The architecture is worth seeing. Also a nice place for photography and selfie.

Cool area to see some truly unique architecture. Not much history is available on site, so may be best to do a bit of history research before you go if you want a fuller explanation.

An oldest mosque with Islamic history which is left unattended now.

Its a nice place to visit if are really interested in history. And it shows an amazing art 🎨 of the people who created it. They even build the finest detail to the building.

It was Really Good...And there were Old Languages.....
