Qudsia Bagh

Qudsia Bagh is an 18th-century Mughal garden complex and palace located in Civil Lines, Delhi, just outside the Walled City of Old Delhi, India.

History

The complex was constructed in 1748 for Qudsia Begum, the mother of Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur. It is situated north of the old city of Delhi. Formerly a splendid palace, it constituted a possession of the heir apparent before falling into disrepair and obscurity. Large parts of it were destroyed during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
Today, only an entrance gate, the Shahi mosque, and the stables remain. Historian Hasan Zafar notes that the garden has been recorded as a protected monument in the Archaeological Survey of India records.
