ABOUT US

Bara Lao Ka Gumbad & Baradari, a unique heritage site consists of two massive structures found in the midst of beautiful landscaped gardens, inside Vasant Udyan park located in Vasant Vihar.

Nestled in an expansive area of 18 hectares of lush Vasant Udyan garden, Bara Lao ka Gumbad is a must see for all. Not much is known of the history of the Bara Lao Ka Gumbad except for the era in which it was built. The architectural style hints the monument to be from the Lodi era.

Gumbad & Baradari

The epicentre of the garden, Bara Lao ka Gumbad dominates the skyline of Vasant Udyan and it’s magnificent presence can be seen from every corner of the park. This monument dates back to the Lodi period in the late 15th century.

A domed pavilion that erstwhile existed, has now vanished. It belonged to a Baradari, a structure with twelve doors, ruins of which can still be seen in the complex.

Amaltas

Amaltas Court

The Amaltas Court features a beautiful canopy of deciduous Amaltas trees, truly reflective of Bahaar, or an eternal springtime. These trees lay a carpet of yellow flowers on the ground, when in full bloom. The court is laid out on the symmetrical axis of the Bara Lao Ka Gumbad and the other end of which extends to Basant Lok.

Poetry Garden

The Poetry Garden offers a charming glimpse of masterpieces by celebrated poets of that era. Verses from two of the most renowned Tughlaq era Persian poets namely Amir Khusrau and Hafez, are reproduced here to create a harmony and symphony of songs. The lyrics of the verses are dedicated to the glory of bountiful nature and sing praise of spectacular trees. Just like Naubagh, Poetry Garden is also a miniature ‘nine – division’ garden, divided by pathways consisting of nine equally measured squares, having columns inscribed with poetic verses.
