Tomb of Bahlul Lodi, Historical tomb in Chirag Delhi, India

The octagonal tomb structure features five domes, including a central fluted one, with three archways on each side supported by red sandstone columns.

Constructed around 1490 by Sikander Lodi, this tomb commemorates his father Bahlul Lodi, who ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1451 to 1489.

The tomb incorporates both Quranic inscriptions and Hindu architectural elements, reflecting the architectural styles of the Delhi Sultanate period.

Located at A-221 in Chirag Delhi, the tomb sits behind the shrine of Nasiruddin Mahmud within narrow residential streets of South Delhi district.

Inside the enclosure, visitors find an Assembly Hall containing columns that emerge from four monolithic stone structures, alongside multiple scattered graves.
