A closer look
Discover Khusro Bagh
Behind its enclosing walls, Khusro Bagh brings together a garden and the architectural legacy of the Mughal court. Its sandstone monuments are associated with Prince Khusro, his mother Sultan Begum and his sister Nithar.
Walk between the monuments to appreciate their different proportions and details. The site rewards a closer look at doorways, carved panels and the relationship between the buildings and the open garden.
What to look for
Mughal craftsmanship
Look for the domes, chhatris and carefully framed arches that give each monument its character.
A family history in stone
The garden preserves the memory of Prince Khusro and his family. Nithar’s ornate mausoleum does not contain her burial.
A gentle heritage walk
Give yourself time between buildings. A visit pairs well with the architecture of Civil Lines.
A little planning goes a long way
- Wear comfortable shoes and carry water for an outdoor visit.
- Respect barriers and conservation notices; interior access may differ from garden access.
- Avoid climbing on monuments or touching carved and painted surfaces.
