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: YesRamp access.

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.
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.
A tomb with a lot of historical value. Best place to spent with family and friends in the evening time.
Makes the mind and soul peaceful. Perfect getaway from all the city rush within the city itself. Makes you fall in love with nature and history more. Well maintained green lawns as well as the historical monuments. You can spend time here by sitting or exploring it.
