A breathtaking view of Safdarjung's Tomb, Delhi, illuminated against the dramatic blue hour sky. This 18th-century mausoleum, the last monumental garden tomb of the Mughal era, symbolises the waning grandeur of a great empire. Its intricate design and golden lighting, framed by the dark stone archway, create a timeless moment of architectural splendour and history.
