Tomb of Imam Zamin, 16th-century mausoleum in Qutb complex, India

The square-shaped tomb features twelve supporting pillars, a sandstone dome with decorative jalis, and marble panels above the chhajja architectural element.

Muhammad Ali, known as Imam Zamin, constructed this mausoleum between 1537 and 1538 during the reign of Mughal emperor Humayun in Delhi.

The tomb combines Persian and Indian architectural elements, featuring intricate calligraphy in Naskh script and geometric patterns throughout its structure.

Located east of the Alai Darwaza within the Qutb complex, the mausoleum measures 7.3 meters on each side with its entrance on the southern facade.

The interior contains a marble-crafted mihrab on the western wall and houses the cenotaph of Imam Zamin, a descendant of Muhammad from Turkestan.
