The Tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq dates back to the 1300s and stands near Tughlaqabad Fort in southern Delhi All images by Rangan Datta The fortified Tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, who ruled the Sultanate of Delhi from 1320 to 1325, stands in the vicinity of the massive Tughlaqabad Fort in southern Delhi. The two structures, made by the same man, were once linked by a causeway, but the building of the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road encroached on a part of the connection. A part of the old causeway still links the sprawling fort and the smaller fort-like tomb of the emperor, which is located on the top of a small hill. A part of the causeway connecting the fort to the tomb The massive sandstone and marble tomb stands in the middle of a pentagonal fortified complex complete with bastions and battlements. In appearance, it resembles a fort more than a burial complex. Writing about the complex, William Dalrymple notes in his book City of Djinns, “they represent perhaps the most elaborate set of defences ever raised to protect a corpse.” The tomb was commissioned by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq himself unbeknownst of the unfortunate death that awaited him. Tughlaq faced a sudden death on his way back to Delhi after the annexation of Bengal in 1325. He was attending a reception given by his eldest son, Muhammad bin Tughlaq in Afghanpur (present day Bihar) when the stage collapsed killing the ruler and his second son. Some historians believe that the whole thing was planned by Muhammad bin Tughlaq. T...

The Secluded Tomb in the vicinity of the Tughlaqabad Fort The Secluded Tomb in the vicinity of the Tughlaqabad Fort Location: South of Tughlaqabad Fort, New Delhi Had the rulers of the medieval period not been so fond of architecture, Following the causeway that leads to the dry-bed of a lake, you see a small pentagone like structure enclosed in a private courtyard with fortified walls. Designed in the Indo-Islamic style of architecture, the tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq follows the trademark style of the buildings belonging to the Tughlaq Dynasty. Red sandstone and White Marbles have been utilized for embellishing this petite structure which houses three graves within itself. Apart from his own, the two graves belong to his wife and son. Once a magnificent edifice, the tomb now remains as rugged structure. As ironical as it sounds, a devout lover of architecture built only a small and simple mausoleum for himself, that too camouflaged by the grandeur of the Tughlaqabad fort. Visiting this small tomb can be the only homage to this liberal ruler who died a cursed death! Read More
