The BaraKhamba 12-Arches Monument in Nizamuddin Delhi

A BaraKhamba monument is called so because of the 12 pillars it stands on.
This forms 3 arches on the 4 sides.

There is a beautiful garden all around with sprawling lawns and nice walkways.

The BaraKhamba monument on Lodi Road in Delhi was recently renovated and is in excellent condition.

Here’s the view of the ceiling from the inside.

Many nearby residents were seen resting here during the afternoon when I visited here last year.

The entrance is accessible and leveled with the sidewalk or footpath and there is no entrance ticket.

Hope you like the tiny little place in the heart of Nizamuddin suburb of Delhi.

I reached here using the Delhi Metro Yellow line starting from Gurugram.

Deboard at the Jorbagh Metro Station and take an auto rickshaw to the Nizamuddin area for 50 Rupees.

The road that leads to the Barakhamba Monument has several food joints.

I tried biryani rice at the Mashhoor Biryani Shop.

This type of Biryani is called the Muradabadi Biryani.

Thank you @Annaelisa :+1:

This is just one suburb of Delhi that is studded with a lot of historical monuments, there are plenty more in other parts of the city.
