For many in New Delhi , Lodhi Garden is an escape in the heart of India ’s capital.

Park regulars say they won’t let rising pollution levels deter their daily visits.

Rajiv Sikri , 76 , and Subodh Jain , 72 , have been meeting in the park for a morning walk that kicks off their day.

For others, it's the nostalgia for bygone times, a habit that becomes tradition.

Charu Shankar : "I used to worry about it seven years ago . And year after year it’s just been the same story.” At home, her air purifiers run all the time and she makes her own remedies against the pollution.

“Of course I'm angry, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to be locked up,” she said.
