Mughal tomb-gardens often
sought physical proximity to Sufi shrines in ways that reshaped them in
their era, and ours. This presentation explores the evolving spatial
relationships between Mughal and Sufi landscapes of Delhi and Lahore—
from Humayun's tomb-garden in the Nizamuddin area of Delhi to the Mian
Mir tomb-complex of Lahore.
