Tomb of Sikandar Lodi, Royal tomb in Lodi Gardens, India

The octagonal mausoleum stands within a fortified complex, featuring three arches on each side and two pavilions with umbrella-shaped domes at the entrance.

Ibrahim Lodi constructed this memorial between 1517 and 1518 for his father Sikandar Lodi, who governed the Delhi Sultanate from 1489 to 1517.

The monument combines Islamic and Hindu architectural elements, displaying carved pillars, enameled tiles, and inscriptions in multiple languages throughout its structure.

The tomb remains open daily from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated paths leading through Lodi Gardens to reach the entrance of the complex.

This structure represents India's earliest surviving enclosed garden tomb, incorporating a wall mosque with visible Quibla markers on its western side.
