Bara Lao Ka Gumbad, A Small Masjid & a Garden of Tughlaq dynasty

Bara Lao Ka Gumbad, A Small masjid & a Garden of Tughlaq dynasty Delhi recently witnessed the renovation of Bara Lao ka Gumbad, a Lodhi era tomb in South Delhi’s Basant Lok, complete with new lighting and beautified gardens. The gumbad is part of a longer list of monuments that have got makeovers over the past decade. This drive toward heritage improvement, beautification and renovation has important socio-economic implications and uncomfortable contradictions, particularly if we turn to the supposed “encroachers” in and around these sites.Near Bara Lao ka Gumbad, within the park, are the remnants of what is believed to be the earliest garden complex in India—the last surviving example of around 1,500 gardens laid out by Firoz Shah Tughlaq in the late 14th century.
