Talkatora Garden is a Mughal-era garden situated on the Mother Teresa Crescent (previously Willingdon Crescent) in New Delhi. During the Mughal era, it used to be a tank and a swimming pool. The Maratha raid on Delhi occurred on March 28, 1737, when the Marathas, led by Bajirao, targeted the Mughals near Talkatora, close to Delhi. Bajirao sought to avenge the Marathas' prior defeat at the Battle of Jalesar by Saadat Ali Khan. The garden lends name to the eponymous Talkatora Stadium bordering its edges.
