This is the tomb of the famous sufi saint, Nizam-ud-din Auliya.
Built on the way from Humayun's tomb, the premise of the shrine is a tank, which is surrounded by many other tombs.
It is said that there was an argument between the rulers of Tughlakabad and the saint over building this tank.
The saint had said that the city of Tughlakabad will never prosper and so did it happen.
The tomb has been through several renovations ever since it was built. The present mausoleum dates back to 1562. |
