    Basically this is the spot wherein Volvo buses pick you up. It was my first time, taking a volvo from here. I found it a bit difficult to reach this spot. Hardly any proper reference was visible on maps just "Qudsia Bagh". I am therefore adding relevant pictures so that you don't find it difficult to reach this point. Nasty place tho, stinks and could be cleaned up since lot of people board bus from this point. Maybe a shed with banner saying "Volvo pickup point" would make things easier and simpler for many people. Just a suggestion in case someone of authority might be reading this review. Hope it helps anyone of you in some manner and let's you catch the bus on time without much hassle :-) Cheers!

    Laid out in the mid-18th century under the aegis of Qudsia Begum (wife of the Mughal emperor Mohammad Shah), this garden saw heavy shelling during the Uprising of 1857, and is therefore not just historical, but also historic. Signs of the bombardment can still be clearly seen on the mosque in the garden (this has recently been fenced off, so can only be approached by going out onto the road), but there's an interesting old gate, and a baradari (bricked up by the British) still standing within the garden. Also, lots of grand old trees, lawns, flower beds, shrubs and quietness. Birds, such as peafowl, barbets and hornbills, can be seen. There is a children's play area as well as an outdoor gym. No entry fees are charged.

    Qudsia Bagh is a serene garden near civil lines in Delhi, surrounded by history. Nearest metro station is Kashmiri Gate, exit from gate no.1 . No entry ticket. No drinking water availability and snack options; it's advisable to bring your own. Swings for kids and walking tracks. The greenery and historical charm make it a peaceful retreat. A simple (more of a graden or park) yet to explore nature's beauty and historical significance. Perfect for a leisurely day out.

    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. Formerly a splendid palace, it belonged to the heir apparent before falling into disrepair. Large parts of it were destroyed during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

    Good place to visit during the day. It has been well maintained and there are a lot of swings and workout machines installed by the government. One advise, don't go there after the sun goes down. Lots of couples get too comfortable in public. During the day as well, some couples are to be seen. But I saw Delhi Police hiding in Civil Clothing trying to nab such people. Lots of greenery and flowers make this a beautiful park to come close to nature.

    GETTING THERE The nearest metro station is the Kashmiri Gate Metro Station on the Yellow Line of Delhi Metro. THINGS TO DO IN & AROUND Located in the popular neighbourhood of Old Delhi, visitors can visit monuments and markets in Kashmiri Gate. Visitors can also visit the Red Fort and Jama Masjid in Chandni Chowk, which is 4 km from the Qudsia Bagh. Visitors can also explore the local markets of Chandni Chowk and Old Delhi. OPENING AND CLOSING TIMING The monument can be accessed at any time of the day. The Qudsia Garden is open on all days of the week. ENTRY FEES There is no entry fee for Qudsia Garden BEST TIME TO VISIT QUDSIA BAGH It’s best advised to visit during winters and the cool climate helps in excruciating Delhi Darshan. You can visit the Qudsia Garden at any time of the year. Delhi has buried many tales of wars, romance and history in its heart. If you seek to unravel those, you would have to do it old school way, exploring every street of Delhi, visiting every neighbourhood and asking old people about the history and heritage of the city. While doing so you might get to hear about the Qudsia Bagh or Qudsia Garden. A forgotten monument in Old Delhi, today left in ruins, narrating the glorious history of the time of its origin. Built by Begum Qudsia, wife of Muhammad Shah, the complex was a palace in itself with all the luxury one could wish for. It had waterfalls, gardens, palace and a private mosque. Today only one Gateway stands tall, paving way for the Qudsia mosque. The garden was built in the Persian Charbagh style, with four symmetrical gardens, with water canals running through them. The surviving Baradari has 12 doors and it is a blend of Persian and British architecture. The mosque which was a private worshipping place for the king and the queen today serves to the locals of the neighbourhood.

    Once spread over 20 acres of land, Qudsia Bagh was laid in Persian Charbagh style outside the city walls of Shahjahanabad. This complex was built in 1748 by Qudsia Begum, the wife of Mughal Emperor Mohammad Shah Rangeela. This garden was one of the locations that played a role during the 1857 First War of Independence and was destroyed and damaged during the course of events. It is said that the mosque situated in the garden complex was used by the revolutionaries to fire at the British troops who were setting up a battery behind the garden walls. The ruined conditions of the structures at the complex bear testament to the intensity of the fighting. Qudsia Bagh was also the site of the last meeting of Bhagat Singh and his comrades before they undertook their mission of throwing bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly. It is said that the women revolutionaries present at the meeting putΒ tilaksΒ of their blood on the foreheads of the brave-hearts before they departed.

    Honest review: I had planned to go there last weekend with my friends. However, upon reaching, the gatekeeper informed us that we were not allowed to enter the park and had to wait until 4 pm, even though no such timings were mentioned online or anywhere else. Consequently, we had to change our plans. If anyone has any information about this time restriction, please enlighten me.

    A historic garden called Qudsia Bagh may be found in Delhi's northern region. Midway through the 18th century, Qudsia Begum, the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah's wife, constructed it. The garden is a well-liked tourist site for both locals and visitors since it is a stunning and tranquil respite in the busy metropolis of Delhi. The garden is enclosed by tall walls that give it a feeling of calm and isolation. It has a surface area of around 25 acres. The garden has a central water channel, fountains, and is decorated with trees, plants, and flowers in the Mughal style. The garden is a wonderful spot to unwind, wander, and take in the beauty of nature. The beautiful baradari, a twelve-arched pavilion in the middle of the garden, is one of Qudsia Bagh's most distinctive characteristics. Red sandstone is used to create the baradari, which is decorated with elaborate carvings and patterns. It is a well-liked location where guests may take pictures and take in the scenery of the garden. Additionally, Qudsia Bagh is noteworthy historically. It was initially constructed as a pleasure garden for Qudsia Begum and thereafter utilised by other Mughal royal family members. The mutiny of 1857 was just one of the significant occasions that took place in the garden during the British colonial era. The park also functioned as a location for social and cultural events like musical performances and poetry readings. Today, locals and visitors seeking a tranquil retreat from the bustling city flock to Qudsia Bagh. The garden is open to the public from dawn until dusk and is conveniently located near public transportation. While strolling through the garden, visitors can savor the stunning flora and learn about the location's historical and cultural significance. In conclusion, anyone interested in the Mughal era or looking for a tranquil getaway from the bustle of the city should pay a visit to Delhi's Qudsia Bagh, a stunning and historic garden. For anyone visiting Delhi, it is a must-visit location due to its natural beauty, impressive architecture, and cultural significance.

    Qudsia Bagh Masjid in Delhi is on name of Qudsia Begum, also known as Usman Bai, was a wife of Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah (r. 1719-48) and the mother of Emperor Ahmad Shah (r.1748-54) and was responsible for the construction of several mosques and shrines in Delhi. The Qudsia Bagh Masjid, c.1748, was built with the Qudsia garden complex which also included a residence (which has been destroyed) overlooking the Jamna river in north Delhi, very good masjid for prayer.

    Qudsia Bagh (English: Qudsia Garden) is an 18th-century garden complex and palace located in Old Delhi, India. 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. Formerly a splendid palace, it belonged to the heir apparent before falling into disrepair. Large parts of it were destroyed during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Today only an entrance gate, the Shahi (Emperor's) 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. This complex includes Jamuna Lodge and Qudsia Masjid (entrance from main road). It is in a very disheartening condition owing to the destruction during the 1857 sepoy mutiny and is still in an under-maintaimed condition.

  • 4/5 mansi g. 3 years ago on Google
    The place was good ... with lots of greenry ... Best place for morning walk and evening walk ..... There was a rose garden too ... behind the mosque... This was built in 1748 by Qudsia Begum, the wife of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah Rangeela..... The monument stands today with one gateway, one colonial-looking building and a mosque. The gateway is called "Hathi" or "Elephant gate" and still manages to look truly majestic Nearest metro station is civil lines ... By road - more convenient to come ... it has a great parking area There was a cottage too with despensary medical facilities...
