On Our visit to the Sultan Ghari Tomb, located in the peaceful neighborhood of Vasant Kunj, We had the chance to step back in time and explore an important historical site. This tomb, dating back to the 13th century, is the final resting place of Iltutmish’s elder son, Nasiruddin Mahmud. It is a quiet and somewhat lesser-known gem in Delhi, making it a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
As we approached the tomb, We were struck by the tranquil atmosphere surrounding it. The monument is a blend of Indo-Islamic architecture, with its charming arches, intricate carvings, and historical significance. The tomb stands tall with its distinct, understated beauty—reflecting the early architectural style of Delhi Sultanate buildings.
The tomb is located within a small, walled enclosure, and the surrounding greenery adds to the calm ambiance. Walking around, we found ourselves appreciating the blend of nature and history, with trees and well-maintained pathways providing a peaceful contrast to the monument’s grandeur. The tomb itself is relatively simple, yet its historical importance cannot be overstated. Sultan Ghari is considered one of the first royal tombs to be built in the Delhi Sultanate style, marking the beginning of a significant era in Delhi’s history.
We also took a moment to reflect on the historical context—how this site, along with the nearby ruins, once formed part of an important cultural and political landscape. The site is not as crowded as many other historical landmarks in Delhi, making it an ideal spot for a quiet afternoon of exploration.
Overall, Our visit to the Sultan Ghari Tomb was a fulfilling experience. It offered not only a glimpse into Delhi’s rich architectural past but also a peaceful, almost meditative break from the daily rush. It is definitely worth a visit for history enthusiasts and those looking for a serene escape in the heart of Delhi.
