As the name suggests, the roots of the Lodhi Garden are linked to the Lodhi Dynasty (1451-1526 AD), which ruled Delhi during the 14th and 15th centuries. Particularly Sikandar Lodhi who was the second ruler of the dynasty is said to have started the construction of the park. He built several structures inside the garden including the Sikandar Lodhi Tomb. After him came his son Ibrahim Lodhi who was defeated by Mughal ruler Babur. During the Mughal period the garden underwent several changes in its layout and functionality. Again during the British rule this place was converted into a public park.
In 1936, Lady Willingdon, the wife of the then Viceroy of India, initiated the development of the garden into its present form, with pathways, lawns, and additional plantations making the history of Lodhi Garden changed a testament of time.
