Isa Khan's Niyazi Tomb and Mosque - Delhi

[SagarKulkarni]

Isa Khan’s tomb is located in the complex of the Humayun’s Tomb, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Delhi, India. It is a beautiful example of Lodi-era architecture, dating back to the 16th century. The tomb is situated in the middle of a beautiful garden known as the Isa Khan Niyazi Maqbara, which is spread over an area of approximately four acres.

In the 1540s, Delhi was ruled by the Mughal emperor Humayun, who had taken control of the city after defeating the last Sultan of the Lodi dynasty, Ibrahim Lodi. Isa Khan was initially loyal to the Lodi dynasty, but after their defeat, he switched his allegiance to the Mughals and became a commander in Humayun’s army.

Isa Khan played a crucial role in the Battle of Kannauj in 1540, where he commanded a large contingent of troops and helped secure a decisive victory for the Mughals. He also played an important role in Humayun’s campaign to recapture Delhi from the Afghan warlord Sher Shah Suri, who had taken control of the city in 1540.

Isa Khan Niyazi was a noble in the court of Sher Shah Sur. This enclosure includes his tomb and a mosque, both built during his own lifetime. The octagonal tomb, pre-dating Humayun’s Tomb by only 20 years, has striking ornamentation in the form of canopies, glazed tiles, and lattice screens. Along the western side of the enclosure, the three-bay-wide mosque has a grand red sandstone central bay and striking mihrabs. Until the early 20th century, an entire village had been settled in the enclosure.

Beautiful post @SagarKulkarni Bhai,

I’m fond of visiting historical places, and I can imagine what you felt there when you visited Isa Khan Niyazi 's tomb.

In Pakistan if you hear about Makli Necropolis Thatta Pakistan -The World’s Largest Necropolis It’s a city of tombs and Mazars , we (Local Guides from Karachi) were there for a BBC Documentary Shoot. It wasn’t my first visit to Makli, but many times we just visited there to explore more places in this city of graves.

I love your post so much, and I would say keep it up with a small suggestion (ager Tum bura na Mano to ), that try to make a format of a post with not too many photos.

Instead of so many photos select best photos among them and rest of photos you can add in a Google Photos album and share it in your post. And other option is a youtube video of visual story highlights with the help of photos. In past I made alot of these kind of videos, uploaded on YouTube and shared in my post.

These are just suggestings, but what you are doing I really love it.

Keep it up, keep posting, keep inspiring

@KamalHossenR here is answer of your questions ,

1. Lodi-era style of Isa Khan’s Tomb:

History: The Lodi Era refers to the period of their rule, which lasted from 1451 to 1526. The Lodi dynasty was a ruling dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate in medieval India.The Lodi dynasty was founded by Bahlul Khan Lodi after he overthrew the previous ruler, the Sayyid dynasty. Bahlul Khan Lodi ruled from 1451 to 1489 and was succeeded by his son, Sikandar Lodi, who ruled from 1489 to 1517. The last ruler of the Lodi dynasty was Ibrahim Lodi, who ruled from 1517 to 1526.Lodi-era witnessed advancements in architecture and cultural activities.

Architecture Style: During the Lodi Era, several architectural developments took place in India. One notable architectural structure is Isa Khan’s Tomb . Isa Khan’s Tomb is an example of Indo-Islamic architecture and showcases the architectural style prevalent during the Lodi and Sur dynasties. It was constructed in the mid-16th century, around 1547-1548.The tomb is built with red sandstone and is characterized by its octagonal shape. It features a single-story structure with high arched entrances on each side. The interior of the tomb has a central chamber that houses the grave of Isa Khan, surrounded by an octagonal veranda. The veranda is supported by pillars and is adorned with intricate stone carvings and decorative patterns also it showcases influences from the Sur dynasty, particularly in its octagonal design and intricate stone carvings.

2. Isa Khan’s role in Battle of Kannauj : The Battle of Kannauj was a crucial military conflict between Sher Shah Suri and Humayun for control over the kingdom of Delhi. Sher Shah Suri emerged victorious, and Humayun was temporarily dethroned and went into exile. Sher Shah Suri established the Sur dynasty and ruled over northern India until his death in 1545.While Isa Khan Niyazi was an important figure during the Sur dynasty, his involvement in the administration and governance of Sher Shah Suri’s empire does not appear to have extended to direct military engagement in the Battle of Kannauj.Isa Khan Niyazi, who is buried in Isa Khan’s Tomb, was a prominent nobleman in Sher Shah Suri’s court and played a significant role in the administration of Sher Shah Suri’s empire. However, Isa Khan’s not directly involved in the Battle of Kannauj. The Battle of Kannauj took place in 1540 between Sher Shah Suri, the founder of the Sur dynasty, and Humayun, the Mughal emperor.there is no historical record of him being involved in the Battle of Kannauj.
