Shish Gumbad, 15th century mausoleum in Lodi Gardens, India
The Shish Gumbad rises 10 meters high with a central dome flanked by eight smaller domes, constructed from red sandstone and white marble.
Built between 1489 and 1517 during the Lodi Dynasty, this mausoleum contains the remains of an unidentified nobleman connected to the royal court.
The structure incorporates Islamic architectural elements with Indian design principles, featuring geometric patterns and black stone calligraphy on its walls.
Visitors can access the monument daily through the Lodi Gardens, located between Max Mueller Marg and Lodhi Road in New Delhi.
The mausoleum derives its name from the blue and green glass tiles that once covered its walls, creating light reflections throughout the interior.
