Qudsia Bagh (English: Qudsia Garden) is an 18th-century garden complex and palace located in Old Delhi, India.

History

The complex was constructed in 1748 for Qudsia Begum, the mother of Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur. It is situated north of the old city. Formerly a splendid palace, it belonged to the heir apparent before falling into disrepair. Large parts of it were destroyed during the Indian rebellion of 1857.

Today only an entrance gate, the Shahi (Emperor's) mosque and the stables remain. Historian Hasan Zafar notes that the garden has been recorded as a protected monument in the Archaeological Survey of India records. There are plans by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to rename Qudsia Bagh “MM Aggarwal Park”, after the city commissioner, which has raised protests.
