Loitering Lodhi

In a world facing major space constraints with cramped up housing, open spaces become essential for unwinding. But more importantly, these spaces need to be easily accessible for people from all walks of life! Lodhi Colony is that haven for Delhiites where Lodhi Art District boasts magnificent street murals and Lodhi Garden is a royal garden-graveyard where you’ll find locals picnicking and kids running around! As most spaces in Delhi go, the Lodhi Colony boasts of a long history from being the capital of the Lodhi dynasty to a government housing and refugee settlement post-1947. Over the years, Lodhi Colony has become popular for the vibrant cultural space it offers and for the street art by renowned artists from all over the world. The art isn’t just visually striking but also is a look into pressing issues: climate change, marginalized communities and even calling your mother no matter what.

To round off this trip, we’ll take a walk inside the Lodhi Garden where the tombs boast grandiosity and richness of a successful empire. But more importantly, we’ll learn how the vast area of Lodhi Garden has become a respite for people seeking open spaces to get away from the cramped city space. Lodhi Gardens has been the preferred destination for movie shoots for the longest time, it’s time for it to feature on your Instagram!!
