This is the last of the mughal monumental tomb in India. Safdarjung was the prime minister for Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah. He became too powerful because of the weak Mughal emperor but was eventually ousted. The tomb was built in 1754 by his son after pleading with the Mughal emperor.

The three-domed mosque inside the complex
The tomb is not as grandeur because Safdarjung was not an emperor
