EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating Safdarjung Tomb in New Delhi shines brightly under the night sky, as captured in this stunning photo print. Illuminated for the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2010, this historical masterpiece is one of thirteen designated monuments to be adorned by the Indian Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC). Constructed in 1754, the Safdarjung Tomb stands as a testament to late Mughal architecture and serves as a garden tomb within a magnificent marble mausoleum. It was commissioned by Safdarjung, an influential prime minister who served under Muhammad Shah during his reign from 1719 to 1748. The intricate details of this architectural marvel are beautifully highlighted through careful illumination. The soft glow accentuates the delicate carvings and ornate patterns that adorn its walls and domes. As darkness falls over New Delhi, visitors can witness firsthand how light breathes life into history. This photograph not only captures the grandeur of Safdarjung Tomb but also symbolizes India's rich cultural heritage. Its inclusion among other esteemed heritage properties for such a prestigious event showcases the nation's commitment to preserving its past while embracing progress. B Mathur skillfully encapsulates this enchanting scene with his lens, inviting viewers on a visual journey through time and culture. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries-old structures can continue to inspire awe and wonder in modern times.
