Hijron Ka Khanqah, Sufi sanctuary in Mehrauli, India.

Hijron Ka Khanqah is a Sufi khanqah complex of a mosque and tombs in Mehrauli, South Delhi. Behind rows of low pale stone graves with sloped tops stands a white and cream facade with a central arched doorway framed in green and yellow tile, a smaller niche below holding a figure, and two slender minaret-like pillars with pointed caps. A black-and-white square-patterned wall section lies to the right.

Hijron Ka Khanqah is a pre-Mughal monument of the Lodi period, dated to the 15th century, when some eunuchs of Delhi were buried here. The Hijras of Turkman Gate in Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) have held the complex since the 20th century and maintain it. The main tomb, held in reverence, is said to be that of a hijra called Miyan Saheb.

The name combines the Persian word khanqah, a Sufi retreat, with hijron, the plural of hijra, the transgender community of North India. The Hijras of Turkman Gate have held the monument since the 20th century and visit on religious days to distribute food to the poor. The tomb most revered is said to be that of a hijra called Miyan Saheb.
