New-Delhi (Inde) - Ce n’est qu’à mon dixième séjour à Delhi que j’ai découvert ce marché aux légumes du quartier de Pahargang. Mon camp de base. Il faut dire que si j’ai pris l’habitude de me perdre dans les ruelles du secteur, j’avais toujours négligé cette petite rue. Depuis, quand j’arrive ou que je repars de la capitale indienne, il m’arrive d’y venir plusieurs fois par jour. Tôt le matin, en fin de journée et parfois la nuit. Le marché ouvre à 7 h du matin et ferme vers 22 h30. Selon l’heure, ou la saison, l’ambiance est toujours différentes.
Paharganj vegetable market
New-Delhi (India) - It was only on my tenth visit to Delhi that I discovered this vegetable market in the Pahargang district. My basecamp. It must be said that if I got into the habit of getting lost in the alleys of the area, I had always neglected this small street. Since then, when I arrive or leave the Indian capital, I happen to come there several times a day. Early in the morning, late in the day and sometimes at night. The market opens at 7 a.m. and closes around 10:30 p.m. Depending on the time, or the season, the atmosphere is always different.
Lodi Gardens is a city park situated in New Delhi. Spread over 90 acres (360,000 m2), it contains Muhammad Shah's tomb, the tomb of Sikandar Lodi, the Shisha Gumbad and the Bara Gumbad. These monuments date from the late Delhi Sultanate, during the Sayyid dynasty (r. 1414–1451) and Lodi dynasty (r. 1451–1526). At this time, the Delhi Sultanate's territory included parts of present-day North India and the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
As there is little architecture dating to the Sayyid and the Lodi periods still standing, Lodi Gardens is an important archaeological site, and is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The gardens are situated between Khan Market and Safdarjung's Tomb on Lodi Road and are a popular spot for morning walks for Delhiites.
Shish Gumbad, also spelt Shisha Gumbad, is a tomb from the Lodi dynasty and is thought to have possibly been constructed between 1489 and 1517 CE; the historian Simon Digby has argued on the basis of an inscription in the adjoining mosque that it was completed in 1494 CE. The Shish Gumbad (glass dome) houses graves, whose occupants are not unequivocally identifiable. Historians have suggested, the structure might have been dedicated either to an unknown family, which was part of the Lodi family and of Sikandar Lodi's court, or to Bahlul Lodi (died 12 July 1489) himself, who was chief of the Afghan Lodi tribe, founder and Sultan of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.
Shish Gumbad is situated in the Lodi Gardens in Delhi and the area where the tomb is situated was formally called village Khairpur.
The exact date of construction of Shish Gumbad is not known. There are four monuments (tombs) in the Lodi Gardens including the Shish Gumbad. The oldest of the four tombs is the tomb of Muhammad Shah (who belonged to the Sayyid dynasty). Shah's tomb was constructed in 1444 CE by Ala-ud-din Alam Shah. During the rule of Sikander Lodi, the Bara Gumbad and adjacent mosque were constructed. Sikander Lodi's tomb was built by Ibrahim Lodi in 1517. The Shish Gumbad is said to have been constructed between 1489-1517 CE by Ibrahim Lodi.
Among historians there is no agreement on who the occupants of the graves inside the structure are. The Shish Gumbad might have been dedicated either to an unknown family, which was part of the Lodi family and of Sikandar Lodi's court, or to Bahlul Lodi (died 12 July 1489) himself, who was chief of the Afghan Lodi tribe, and founder and Sultan of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.
Initially, all the monuments were built independently and were not in one confine. In early 20th century, a park was developed which was inaugurated by Lady Willingdon on 9 Apr 1936 bringing the four monuments in one confine.

Charbagh or Chahar Bagh (Persian: چهارباغ, chahār bāgh, "Four Bāghs") is a Persian-style garden layout. The quadrilateral garden is divided by walkways or flowing water into four smaller parts.[1] In Persian, "Chār" means 'four' and "bāgh" means 'garden'.
One of the hallmarks of Persian gardens is the four-part garden laid out with axial paths that intersect at the garden's centre. This highly structured geometrical scheme, called the chahar bagh, became a powerful metaphor for the organization and domestication of the landscape, itself a symbol of political territory.
