Madrasa and tomb of Alauddin Khalji, Educational and funerary complex in Mehrauli, Delhi, India
The L-shaped madrasa features seven small cells, two high-domed chambers, and a central room housing the burial site within the Qutb complex.
Built in 1315 during the Delhi Sultanate period, this structure combines an Islamic school with the final resting place of Sultan Alauddin Khalji.
The madrasa functioned as an educational center for Islamic theology and scriptures, reflecting the integration of religious learning in medieval Indian society.
The monument stands within the Qutb complex, 15 kilometers from New Delhi Railway Station, with entry fees of 10 rupees for Indians.
This structure introduced corbelled pendentives supporting high-drummed domes, marking the first implementation of this architectural technique in Indian construction.
