History

The complex was constructed in 1748[1] for Qudsia Begum, the mother of Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur. It is situated north of the old city of Delhi. Formerly a splendid palace, it constituted a possession of the heir apparent[2] before falling into disrepair and obscurity.[3] Large parts of it were destroyed during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[4]

Today, only an entrance gate, the Shahi (Emperor's) mosque,[5] and the stables remain.[6] Historian Hasan Zafar notes that the garden has been recorded as a protected monument in the Archaeological Survey of India records.[7]
