The Biran ka Gumbad - Domed Building of the Brother in Delhi

The Biran ka Gumbad is a dome that literally means the domed building of the brother but no one whos who’s brother.


This name was probably coined in jest to complement the Dadi-Poti Grandma-Grand Daughter Tombs nearby.

The side entrance is permanently closed with an iron gate.


Like many other un-inscribed buildings in the area, not much is known about the history of this monument. The back side of the dome is covered with an iron grill.


There is also a Lodi era covered well on the premises.

The main entrance is inaccessible due to the steps and was also closed with an iron gate.

If you are, like me, an admirer of the ruins of Delhi then this is a must-visit place.
