Qudsia Bagh in Delhi is located on the main Shamnath Road, north of Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT), and close to the historic Kashmiri Gate. Constructed by Qudsia Begum, the chief queen of later Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah, in 1748, the garden remains a testimony of Mughal gardens once adorned with a beautiful palace, waterfall, a mosque, a summer lodge and a beautiful flower and fruit garden.

Qudsia Bagh in Delhi is laid out in a typical Persian Charbagh style. Today, the imposing western gateway and a couple of pavilions in carved red sandstone, the only remains of the garden remind us its exquisites in the bygone era on your Delhi tour. At the center of the park, there is mosque. Built in the simple style, the place of worship was the private mosque of the emperor and his wife. The structure has three domes and is embedded with three arched openings.

Qudsia Bagh in Delhi was raised within a surrounding fort enclosed by high walls. However, this structure was damaged during the 1857 uprising. The gateway and the mosque were restored in the post independence era. The authorities are making all around effort to bring the garden back to its original splendor. At present it is an excellent place to relax and rest, away from the jostle and stir of nearby the city.
