From ruins to a million footfalls: What makes Sunder Nursery one of Delhi’s favourite haunts?

Delhi’s iconic Sunder Nursery - a heritage park complex in the bustling Nizamuddin locality - hit one million footfalls for 2023 last week.
Built in the 16th century as Azim Bagh and used by the British in 1913 to plant exotic trees, Sunder Nursery has been a witness to Delhi’s changing historical landscapes. But it lay dilapidated for years before becoming a prominent public sphere in the national capital.
Between 2008 and 2018, through a decade of painstaking conservation efforts, the cultural landscape of Sunder Nursery was redesigned to make space for a 90-hectare biodiversity park that features 20 historic monuments, 300 species of trees, and two amphitheatres.
For Dilliwalas today, the park offers a sense of belonging, besides being a beacon of the economic potential of built heritage - with the complex hosting events and eateries.
How did the park grow to hold such importance for Delhi’s people?
Watch to find out.

Correct. There is nothing in delhi built by Xindus. All beautiful gardens, monuments were built by muslim rulers

[@sourabhmookherjee4218]

Baagh e azeem was abandoned. When it was rebuilt by the British, it was named after Sundar Burz. Now the official name is Central Park.

[@BhavikaParmar-ly9vg]

​@@bredbutter Looks like you have lost it... 44+ Islamic nations, rest all Christians.. ONE Hindu (Dharmic religion) majority India yet they are expected to be secular!! 👏👏😄👏 to appease who? - the fastest growing religion in the world!!🤣🤣 and people within this country itself have issues with Hindu temples but not mosque building! 👏 Which land can Hindus build their temples and practice their own religion?? Next to Mecca?

[@saleem88vlogs]

[@sanjaychauhan1116]

To appease Muslims votes, leftists parties ko kya kya karna padta hai 😂😂😂 . Ancient hindu temples pe 1rs bhi kharcha nahi karte redevelopment me aur ye babur k chodo k liye ye sab karenge

[@uz5406]

Indian govt ne ispar koi kharcga nahi kiya. Ye sab kaam "Agha Khan Trust" ne kiya hai. Agha khan UK se hain. Lodhi garden, humaiyon tomb, nizamuddin, many places unhi ke dekh rekh mein renovate huay hain. So thanks to Agha Khan n yes he is a muslim 😊
