One of the few significant structures built after the death of Aurangzeb, the last prominent Mughal emperor was the Tomb of Safdarjung, who was Prime Minister in Delhi after the death of Aurangzeb. Built in 1753-1754, the tomb is located along the Safdarjung Airport in Delhi. The structure is called the "last flicker in the lamp of Mughal architecture" with a visible fading of the characteristic precision of the Mughal style of architecture. Nawab Shuja-ud-daulah, built the memorial in the memory of his father Mirza Muqim Abul Mansur Khan, popularly known as Safdarjung (1739-54). Safdarjung was the governor of the province of Awadh under Muhammad Shah (1719-48). The memorial stands in the middle of a huge garden that's spread over an area of over 300-sq-metre. The garden's layout is on the pattern of the Mughal Chaharbagh style. In the middle is the massive gateway leading to the enclosure that rises to two levels. Inside there is the tomb, the courtyard and a mosque. On either side are the lovely looking pavilions Moti Mahal or the pearl palace, Jangli Mahal or the sylvan palace and Badshah Pasand or the emperor's favorite. The mausoleum is built mostly with red sandstone and buff stone with its face made with marble. The lovely structure stands in the middle of a beautiful garden. Inside the structure are two graves, one of Safdarjung and the other most likely his wife's. Eight rooms on all sides surround the square central chamber of the mausoleum. All the apartments, except the corner ones are rectangular in shape, the corner ones being octagonal. The dome of the tomb rises from a sixteen-sided base. The tomb has been often criticized for its weakness in proportions and a lack of balance in its make-up. But despite all criticism, the structure still remains as an architectural legacy of the Moguls and a frequented tourist destination.
