Bu Halima Enclosure, New Delhi

Bu Halima Enclosure, New Delhi (19 November, 2004)


The Bu Halima's Enclosure (GPS: 28.59275, 77.24493) is a section within the compound of Lodi Gardens in New Delhi where many of the tombs of the emperors and aristocrats of the Mughal Dynasty were located in Delhi. Among these tombs are those of Humayun, Isa Khan and Barber.

It seems to be almost certain that the garden existed before the tombs were built. However since the greater tomb complex was built on the established axis of Bu-Halima's garden and gate, the garden was simply incorporated into the larger scheme of things. As a result of this, the garden became a sort of subsidiary court to the enchanting complex of Humayun's tomb. The ticket office for the tomb complexes is located in its gate.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
