Safdarjung's tomb is one of those well-known monuments in Delhi. Safdarjung's tomb popularly known as 'Safdarjung ka maqbara' was built in the year 1754. It is the last building built by the Mughal supremacy in their signature style, therefore it is called as 'the last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture'. Safdarjung's tomb is a garden tomb, basically carved in marble. Nawab Shuja-ud-daulah erected the tomb of Safdarjung for his father Safdarjung, who was once the Awadh's governor and later was, announced the prime minister or 'wazir' of Muhammad Shah, who was the reigning Mughal king during 1719-1748. Safdarjung's tomb is situated at Lodhi Road, in New Delhi.

The beautiful and exquisite garden is a gateway to the marvelous mausoleum and the building also includes a mosque and the courtyard. The tomb rises to two levels. The tomb encompasses a 'Madrassa' i.e. a Muslim school. The entire building is carved out of red sandstone, buff stone and marble. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) maintains a library over the gateway of the premises. The tomb of Safdarjung roughly looks like the Humayun's tomb.

The entrance of the tomb is mammoth and the central alcove of the tomb is encircled with eight rooms. The corner apartments inside the Safdarjung's tomb are octagonal in shape and the others are rectangular in shape. The dome on the top of the tomb stands on a base that is sixteen sided. There are four water canals that lead to the four buildings inside the premises.  Safdarjung's real name was Mirza Muqim Abul Mansur Khan, he gained the title 'Safdarjung' from the Emperor Muhammad Shah. The tomb was built between 1753-1754, during the decline of the Mughal rule. Safdarjung emigrated to India in 1722 from Persia. Saadat khan was the ruler of Awadh (earlier called as Oudh) at that time; Safdarjung married his daughter and thus suceeded him to the throne. Safdarjung was believed to be a clever and capable politician and administrator. He breathed his last in the year 1753. The tomb of Safdarjung is a symbol of a son's devotion towards his father.

 

Though, the tomb Safdarjung is not as glamorous and famous as other mausoleums like Taj Mahal and Humayun's tomb, but it is still one of the most beautiful buildings of the Mughal era. Safdarjung's tomb was built as per the traditional designs of Mughal garden tombs. Safdarjung's tomb is also well-known for its similarity with the Humayun's tomb. The entire structure of the Safdarjung's tomb is built very elegantly, there is a huge arched entrance, widespread gardens, tanks, fountains and a tomb, placed right in the center of the lush green garden.

The Jain Temples and the Medieval Hindus are the popular sites in theKhajuraho. It is also among the popular tourists attractions in India. The UNESCO has declared the Khajuraho as the World Heritage Sites about few years back, which is a big landmark, achieved by the cityKhajuraho.  The name of this city "Khajuraho" was derived from the Sanskrit Word known as Kharjur, the meaning of this word is s date palm.

Although, the Khajuraho monuments do not involve any erotic or the carvings which bring the sexual excitement inside the monuments but there are some pictures engraved on the outside walls which do so. In fact, there are large numbers of pictures or carvings on the exterior of the building which arise such feelings. Apart form these; there are some pictures which reflect the lifestyle of people in the city. Moreover, the sexual characteristic of these pictures do not reveal any of the meticulously described positions. Between the years 950 to 1150 AD, the Chandelles were responsible for the building of these temples and during this time, the following of the Tantric tradition was at the peak. These temples are now developed in the region of parkland landscape. But, when in 1947, India got the independence from the British Rule; the landscape was in the form of scrub and semi desert areas. But due to the hard work of the architectures, the area has now been transformed to the rose trees and the ornamental trees. However, this development of the area has arisen several questions in the context of relationship between the relationship of the surrounding area and the land consumed by the construction of these temples. Many Governmental agencies claim, that these temples have been built on the land consumed by the illegal means and therefore, they demand the demotion of these temples.

The Khajuraho temples provide the regions well equipped with the nice lighting and the museum inside the fort displays two shows everyday, the first one is in the English Language while the other one is in Hindi.  The large community of priests stays in these temples nowadays. These temples are also famous for the tree gardens, which bring back the theme of 10th century Indian gardens.
