Located in the Nizamuddin Village, close to Humayun's tomb, Hazrat Nizamuddin's Tomb in Delhi transports you into an entirely different world. An intersection of alleys, narrow stone lanes, tombs and mosques remind you of an era gone by.
Hazrat Nizamuddin's Tomb commemorates the memory of the great Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya who represented the Chisti order of Sufism in Delhi, India. Also known as the Dargah of Nizamuddin Auliya, Hazrat Nizamuddin's Tomb is a sacred place for both Hindus and Muslims.
The mausoleum as it exists today was constructed in the year 1562 by a rich merchant, Faridu'n Khan. The original structure of the Sufi saint's tomb was destroyed long back.
The main tomb at Hazrat Nizamuddin's Tomb is an ornate square marble structure, with perforated jali screens and architectural friezes that add to the glory of the sacred tomb. The tomb is set on a verandah where qawwali singing sessions are held in the evenings after the namaz prayers.
The lotus cresting on the central dome and black marble inlay work adds to the glory of this sacred mausoleum in Delhi, India.
The other structures located near Hazrat Nizamuddin's Tomb that are a must visit are the Jama'at Khana mosque, tomb of Jahanara, Amir Khusro's Tomb, Kali o Kalan Mosque and the Chini ka Burj.
