Talkatora Garden is a Mughal-era garden situated on the Mother Teresa Crescent (previously Willingdon Crescent) in New Delhi. In Mughal times, it used to be a tank and a swimming pool. The Marathas raid on Delhi occurred on March 28, 1737, when the Marathas, led by Bajirao, targeted the Mughals near Talkatora, close to Delhi.[7][8] Bajirao sought to avenge for the Marathas' prior defeat at the Battle of Jalesar by Saadat Ali Khan. The garden is now more famous for the Talkatora Stadium. It attracts a large number of tourists.^[1]
