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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
