Azim Khan's Tomb, Mughal tomb in South Delhi, India

The square structure stands on a hillock overlooking Delhi-Mehrauli road, featuring a central dome with finials and three entrance points.

Built during the 17th century, this monument marks the resting place of General Azim Khan, who served in the army of Mughal Emperor Akbar.

The tomb incorporates Mughal architectural elements with sandstone construction, lotus motifs, calligraphy decorations, and an inverted lotus crown design.

Visitors reach the monument through a narrow path behind Ahinsa Sthal, climbing stairs constructed by Archaeological Survey of India in 2010.

During British colonial rule, soldiers transformed this burial site into an entertainment venue, using its steep surroundings for physical activities.
