Baagh e Naazir ("Garden of Nazir") was built by the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah Rangila's Khwaja Sara (chief eunuch) Nazir in 1748 (1161 A.H.).[1] It is located in Mehrauli, near Jamali Kamali and Mehrauli Archaeological Park.
This garden contained a number of pavilions, the most notable among which was made of red sandstone. Others were made of stone and plaster. The garden was surrounded by a stone wall, large sections of which still exist.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's seminal work on the monuments of Delhi, Aasar us Sanadeed, contains a description and a sketch of the monument as it appeared in 1854.
The area has now been taken over by Ashoka Mission,[2] a Buddhist organization.
